What’s happened to him ? Started so well but now not even on the bench

Pure speculation on my part but maybe he’s had a fallen out with Richie

Something has obviously happened.

Abdulai is also a disappointment. Looked the absolute business for the first few games but now can’t even get in the team when Donley and Galbraith are both out. Something has happened there as well.

Tbf his display after coming on tonight shows why he's not in the team.

Abdulai has been ill for a few days, but Williams was not good enough to be in the squad.

Can’t argue with that.

But just doesn’t make sense when compared to how he was when he first rocked up.

The lad has been in and out and played all over the place. I like the look of him but he needs a run of games in a settled place in a settled team.

I agree. RW is still to find the best position for him in his type of playing style

He was outstanding for the first game or two with us. With Donley and Galbraith out, and Williams boco'd, he should have been starting last night. But on-loan Markanday (as the 10?!?) and Dj were both picked ahead of him.

Something isn't right.

Abdulai will come good. Only young. Takes time to settle. I suspect we will not sign Williams in the Summer

I cant wait for the Williams story to come out.

APPARENTLY he stormed out of training before Blackpool. That's why he hasn't been in the squad. Take it with a grain of salt but that's what I was told at HT at the Blackpool game.

Rumour was he walked out of training on the Friday before Blackpool away, was discussed on another thread - viewtopic.php?t=15178

Apparently he stormed out of training before the Blackpool game. But keep that under your hat.
