    This is great for both us and the lad. Hopefully for Swindon too. Hopefully he smashes it

    Good luck, Conor.

    All the best Conor.

    The article says last September. Pretty sure he was injured before September 2023.

    GWR works at Swindon. Think it's a museum now.

    I thought his deal was up in the summer. Didn’t realise he’s got another year with us. Nothing against the lad he’s an honest trier but it’s a shame we can’t move him on permanently

    I have absolutely no idea whether he's any good or not. It may well be that he's lost something permanently due to the seriousness of his injury.

    It's a strange one, I thought he did OK up to him getting injured last season and did OK in the JPT this season, Collins obviously doesn't fancy him for whatever reason, probably same with Cundy, shame really as I think both would have be been better options at times this season.

    Should be in our starting 11 or at very least the squad.

    Just how bad must him and lopata be in training for the manager to keep claiming he's forced to play Williams at centre back because there's no options

    Not good enough & lacks pace. He’s dropped to league 2 & beaten a bottom half side who are poor away from home.

    If there was any of our loanees I’d happily give a game to it would be Lofthouse at RWB

    This definitely seems like one of those times where players become better when they don’t play.

    As far as I am aware, he’s never really had a run in the team properly and that includes before his bad injury. This season he’s been seen by Collins in training and the Pizza trophy and still can’t get in the side.

    I think it was a good move for all parties.

    I don't think he's got better while out. I do think though that he's a centre back and we are told that Williams must play centre back because we have no centre backs.

    I think it’s more centre backs with any ounce of pace. MDG, McCart, Lopata and McCarthy are all pretty painfully slow. I’m fairly certain that when Pines comes in to the team, Williams will move back to RWB.
