Jordan Williams

Is it just me or has he not been at his best now for a couple of weeks
I like him and up there for POTS for me but past few games ive been to hes not been at his best i thought

 

Wasn't great yesterday, but wouldn't say weeks. Id suggest phillips has been more off the boil than any other started 11. Although Isted is creeping up there these past 2, 3 games

 

Exeter away i thought he was bad aswell (Williams) although i agree with Phillips and Isted

 

Williams has been excellent this season, but you’re right, he hasn’t been at his usual standard the past few games

 

We all have our off days, just ask yesterday's ref...

 

Thought he had a poor game at Exeter & average but no worse than the majority yesterday. However I can’t agree he’s been in bad form. He was outstanding against Morecambe & in the other recent home games

 

Makes me wonder if he’s perhaps got a move sorted for the summer so just going through the motions in the meantime.

 

Are you serious?

 

It’s just an opinion. Could be bollacks probably is but it’s also perhaps something that could be realistic too.

 

I've held off commenting on Williams because I'm his biggest fan, but I've noticed a dip in his performances over the last month or so (the Wednesday game aside, where I thought he was decent). Defensively, I don't think he's particularly great anyway, but going forward he's contributed so much this season. But now he's having a bit of a lull, his defensive vulnerabilities are accentuated. A lot of the goals conceeded come from down his side, which is why I wasn't over critical of Isted in the other thread. Williams and Thomas need to be stopping crosses/shots more regularly down that flank.

I don't think he's had his head turned as mentioned above, maybe with him specifically, it's a case of tiredness. He's played a lot of games this season, probably the most of his career because of his past injury issues.

He still makes my top 3 for POTS.

 

I'll tell you why I think Williams has looked not quite up to his usual high standards in one or two games and that's because Adam Phillips provides absolutely zero defensive help to him.

 

We shall analyse this closer at the next Jordan Williams Fan Club AGM, Mr Archey. But in the meantime, I think it’s best if you don’t wear your Jordan Williams onesie and matching bed socks.
In all fairness, though, when he came back from his injury, earlier in the season, it coincided with everything seemingly just clicking into place. He’s the type of player who, for me, always gives an 8/10 performance, so a 7/10 seems a poor showing.
But his standard has slipped just lately. But I hope that is just a bit of fatigue setting in as when he is on his game, he covers plenty of miles in his 90 mins. And all at speed.

 

I've got the specially commissioned Jordan Williams IPA on order mate.

 

I just hope it’s better than that Tom Kennedy Moonshine you sneak in in your hip flask

 

Possible of course, but I doubt players would be looking for a new club while we're in the thick of a promotion battle so don't even know what league we'll be in next season. More likely he's just knackered!

 

I’d agree about Williams though think Phillips and Isted are bigger issues. Phillips I get that you pick him because he’s capable of scoring and creating bit in games he does neither too many of those recently) he is a complete passenger. Isted I’d probably be looking to rest. He’s done very well but has struggled in the last few games

 

His form has dipped in recent weeks, but he isn't alone. Even if someone had already arranged to sign him in the summer, I am certain he would keep being professional with us anyway and want a promotion on his CV. He's not the down tools type.

 

Think he seems reluctant at the minute to really go and take the opposition defender on and often seems caught in two minds regarding what he wants to do .

 

I don"t get this " starting to go off the boil " , we lost yesterday but last saturday it was 5 v 0 , if that is off the boil well I can"t wait until they put the kettle on
