    Back 3……..

    There’s definitely players in Cotter and O’Keefe but let’s get JW back to his best position and try to find some balance at the back!! It makes me wonder if the midfield are off sync at the moment cos they’re worried shitless about the back 5……..

    Anyhow a wins a win but that first half was an horror show!!

    I 100% agree, it's so obvious. I hope Collins realises, we arnt managing the team but we certainly do.

    I agree with that too. Williams is being played out of position but I would also add that Styles needs to be put on the bench as his performances this season do not merit him a regular starting spot.

    I agree. But I will say (even though I don't think Williams had a good game), Williams' pace saved us twice today in his recovery runs, which aren't often noticed by fans, and that will be sorely missed. One was Herbie Kane's horrendous back pass, and I forget the other. But both times he saved our backside.

    Agreed. Williams needs to be playing week in, week out at right wing back. A league above the other full backs we have.

    He stated before the start of the season he saw Williams as being a key figure in the team at CH, will he stick to his belief or review? Time will tell.

    No disrespect to Williams and agree he should be back to wing back but Connell has to be made captain.You can see all day long he’s the most vocal player we’ve got and a born leader

    I think we have too many wing backs. Williams and cadden who will most likely leave in the summer then o keffe and cotter who I think will both come good eventually and look like replacements for the 1st 2.

    Collins was an experienced player at this level and understands the game at this level....so when he watched that last night he must see the issues and how poor it is.
    So the question is, as the only person that CAN change things, why are we continuing in the same vein..he surely see's what we see.

    Maybe it’s not a case of Williams moving to RW, but more so who replaces him in the back 3. He probably sees Williams as an experienced and calm head back there. Considering it’s a new defence and keeper, you do need that stability.

    We’re not blessed with experience at all at the back.
