Hi new to this but Jonny Williams is running round my work had a quick chat would love to come back and left it with his agent left because fell out with bowyer
How can you judge his hold-up and link play when he hasn't touched the ball?
From what I remember, in the early games where we did pass to him, his passing was excellent.
I think we can all judge and speculate. Why have a forum otherwise? For us all to agree on everything? It is whether our judgement is right or not that is the question. We shall see with Ronnie.

I think the point being that no you can't judge his hold up play when we haven't actually seen it yet - seems daft to get too judgmental based on incomplete evidence.
Of course it COULD be that we haven't seen it because he doesn't have that skill set to display but I do think it's premature to write it off out if hand.

Do you work at Wimbledon? Serious question as I know he's been there recently

I can’t remember who it was against but he played a very good ball through to bogle who was one on one with the keeper and bogle fell over.
Yeah I remember a crisp pre-assist to Millar, too. There are a lot of questions over whether he suits League One football or how he fits into this team, but I don't think there any questions over his technical ability. The guy is a technician if nothing else.
I also remember when he came on for his debut against Accrington and immediately sent through a smart chip that nearly cleared their defence. You could see straight away that he was intelligent and good with the ball, so I'm really not surprised to hear there's personal issues with Ronnie. To hear some people talk about him you'd think he was just a bloke who stands on the penalty spot and waits for the ball to bounce in off him, but you don't achieve as much as he has in his career by being solely a poacher, not since about 1989. The fight completely drained out of him as the season went on and the fact he wasn't touching the ball at all sometimes tells you he just wasn't really present. I hope he gets his issues sorted out for his sake and ours, I'm certain there's a good player in there and I want him to succeed for us.
You only have to look at his you tube videos ( yes I know, doesn't tell the whole story etc) to see he has a strikers instinct but quite a few occasions he would drop back & pick the ball up from his midfield & drive forward at the defenders & knock in a tremendous 25 yarder. Whether he would get that space here is another matter but the work ethic seems to be there, maybe bowyer told him to sit in the box ?

I don't really see where this kind of response has come from... I'm not even sure how to reply!

It came from a poster being told he can't judge Ronnie's hold up play when of course he can. Whether he is right or wrong is not the point.

if we announced tomorrow that we've managed to offload ronnie and signed a top striker, i reckon the midfield gems that we need would suddenly become very interested
It doesn’t look like there’s a top striker out there that’s still available.
It seems more likely, to me, that we’re hanging our hat on Stockley and we’ll have to invest the majority of our budget on wingers who can score and assist.
I’d wager we’ll replace Chuks with a Premier League loan.
i'll bow to your greater knowledge but what makes you think there are no top strikers out there? My ideal is we bring one in (i'm talking a lyle taylor (although not him) / Marquis / Piggot / clarke harris type level / player) and a pacey young prem loan if we can do some sort of deal with ronnie - i just can't see him coming good
I know what you mean, a talisman for the team (like Taylor, Clarke-Harris, Pigott, etc). I think that’s exactly what we’ve signed Stockley for, we haven’t paid all that money for him to be in a supporting role.
I think the money we could be investing on another striker will go into a winger/midfielder who can score and assist. Any other gaps in the squad will likely be filled with an exciting loan from a top club.
Sadly both in terms of goals and all round play Stockley is nowhere near the level Taylor was for us.
Taylor got 1 in 2 for us, Stockley wasn't far off that last season. Hardly nowhere near the level.
Hardly, Taylor got 25 in 45 in League one. Stockley got 8 in 22.
21 in 41
Taylor's tally of 21 did include 8 pens (3 missed though). That's 13 open play goals in 41 games.
I reckon Stockley's 8 in 22 (1 pen missed) compares pretty well.
Williams would be like a less effective Millar if we were to sign him again. That is the only role I could see him playing, as illustrated by Shinnie not being able to get a look in.

Tbf Williams did leave a lot to be desired at times but there is a player there for sure. It was pretty obvious he fell out with Bowyer and with the right management, he could be the player we expect.
This is not a case for us to sign him again but more if it happens then there could be a different player to what we saw before he left.
I'd take Williams back - could work in a wide role in the front 3 that Adkins preferred last season. I thought he seemed free from injuries last season and was starting to show some form, even getting on the scoresheet before the ludicrous Bowyer sub incident. With a more appreciative manager he could still play a role in a promotion chasing Lge1 team as he has proved for us previously.
Should Williams resign, which I feel is erring on the unlikely, then he could with Nige's positive influence possibly be a good squad signing, I think his confidence was shot with the falling out with Bowyer, which is understandable.

Yes you have let us all down, if you can just put in a bit more practise you will soon be spouting the required old bollox.

Keep posting your thoughts and views and try not injure JW.
He might well respond very well to the Nads approach to life and football; worth a go, surely? I'm sure he wouldn't cost to much wages wise....
