Williams is limited, as was Pratley. Different players, both with great attitudes. Pratley had a goal in him as you say but I expected a few more than his 12 in all the time he was here. Good engine, covered most of the pitch in most games. Williams doesn't threaten the opposition box, much more defensive minded but far better at winning possession, DP gave away too many free kicks and fell over a lot. Williams far more consistent at keeping possession, and a better range of passing too. Neither tick enough boxes to be championship standard for me, but more than happy with either in league one.
Pratley joined us after being Swansea’s key man in their promotion season from the Championship and he was our best player in the Championship in our first year back down.
So at more than one point he was plenty good enough at that level

Whether you like it or not taking the knee is seen by many as closely connected with BLM and what they stand for, it will never be accepted by millions and the nod to BLM tarnishes anything the players are trying to highlight.
And loads of people voted Mr Blobby to #1
Doesn’t mean they’re not nobheads for it
You can create causation for anything you wish in order to support your argument.

I liked Pratley.
Was made a scapegoat because he turned out not to be the player we signed him as.
Probably because he was asked to do two other roles as well.Same as you know Uncle T 👍🏻
The younger generation didn’t seem to take to him cos he couldn’t seal dribble
it’s funny as loads seem to get better the longer they don’t play for us yet with Pratley it’s gone the other way
Was our best player in the best season we had in the championship before it was ruined by nobhead
Then a succession of nobheads
He was limited but ran through brick walls and scored the odd goal. Put it this way, Williams isn’t a patch on him and folk call him the messiah

This isn’t isn’t about Kapaernick stand, in fact I’d bet many of the players taking the knee never heard of him, it’s about the Floyd murder and how the BLM have used it for political mileage to push their agenda. As for your “we’re better than this” comment, everyone has stated to a man that racism shouldn’t be tolerated so I’m confused as to where that statement is actually going.
is it? Is that what those that are actually taking the knee are saying or are you calling them liars?
It’s booing young men wearing 3 lions on their chest for supporting their mates and abuse
it’s got fuck all to do with anything else.
Fuck all
Political agenda? 🤣🤣 footballers are known for that aren’t they. You’ll have it what they haven’t heard of an NFL player but they’ve heard of Marx & Engels? 🤣🤣

Not been on in a while
booing young men that take a knee to support their mates who get racist abuse is a shitbag position
Dress it up how you want (and I’m sure there may be better constructed “actions” than bending on a knee but that’s beside the point) but we all know that’s all they’re doing
You’re turning on them, not Stalin.
And it ain’t really about George Floyd either (Before you start that he was a criminal) unless Colin Kapaernick had a fucking Delorean and a mad scientist mate.
It was even a symbol of one of the movements we should be proud of in this country FFS: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abolitionism_in_the_United_Kingdom
come on lads, we’re better than this

email through this morning from UEFA that we've had England v Croatia and Scotland refunded.
No mention of the other 3 Wembley games we had tickets for though - Eng v Czech, round 2 game and one of the semis...reckon that means we still have them or could it just be they've not balloted them yet do you reckon?
So had email today
We still have tickets for Czech, a 2nd round game and semi, just not the Croatia and Scotland games
The ones we still have are all after 21st June, and the ones we don’t are both before; I assume this is a factor?!

I'd back Dapo to keep improving under IE. I'd love him to be allowed to roam inside from time to time so he could get a run at centre half's.
He can be frustrating but I've yet to see a more frustrating winger for us than David Lee but opposition teams hated facing him because he could be unplayable at times & Dapo has that potential.

Dapo can be so frustrating, he clearly has ability on the ball but his end product is almost non existent. He always seems to make the wrong decision, shooting when he should pass or trying to continue a run when he could shoot. The concern for me with that as we have seen no real improvement over his time with us this season. Overall, at the right price, I would have him next season, but I won't lose too much sleep if he decides to move on again
He can be frustrating but I think that is overly harsh
Sometimes he makes the wrong decision and sometimes he makes the right decision but doesn't execute it perfectly. But that's the same for all of our attacking players last season. If he always got it right he'd be in West Ham's first tema now. Oh and I remember similar being said about a young C Ronaldo. Yes Dapo is 23 not 18, but he's not played 40 league games yet.
I also believe, and I've banged this drum a lot so forgive me, folk often miss his contribution of carrying the ball, taking pressure off our defence; he's also double marked a fair bit which makes space for others.
For me I'd guess he's good enough for League 1. We may see, we may not

Sheff Weds please. 5,000 of us there (and we always seem to win)
Let’s play Wigan later in the season when we’re into our stride and we’ve got a better chance of turning them over
Most I think I’ve seen us take to Sheff Weds was 97/98 and we got dicked 5-0

Gettin to the hotel with all the fans when the coach arrived is one of the best moments I’ve ever had as a Wanderer.

He wasn’t edged out due to performances; he’d refused to sign a new contract, til then he was arguably their best player - certainly key
And he was admittedly limited, but folk forget all the good he did. Same was happening with Muamba til the incident in all honesty.
