Revell looked good, but certainly agree that he never looked championship level!
But then i'm sure we all have many players we never thought would progress like they have.
While a Williamson was an obvious one to me, as he was pure rolls Royce in our division, I never saw Matt Phillips moving up so high. I never saw him as anywhere near a key player for us!
Similarly, Russell Martin.
But the key with both I suppose is that word "Potential" as we had them so young.
@LeedsBlue , he must have seen one of Williamson's few bad games!
He was imperious for that last half season. It's hard to compare with a Mawson, and my memory isn't the best, but he was fairly unbeatable, and had a dribble in him as well. Probably Mawson had more passing range.
Both a huge goal threat. I remember Williamson scoring 2 almost identical headers in 1 game alone
We should never forget that Williamson had Johnson along side him (the senior partner?) who, despite later 'issues' played at the top level for a considerable time as well.
The same Johnson that Adams thought might be a centre forward, or left back.
Who so ruined Johnson's confidence that I vividly remember him in the press saying "I know i'll never play in the Premier league..."
Also there was a fairly long spell where a lot of our fans were calling for an "experienced" centre back to support one of the two!
So I wouldn't over state Johnson's impact on Williamson to be honest.

I prefer 'Village' as the double syllable scans as per 'Cow-an'. And of course it has to be Parish' (not the French capital city) work at all.
it's not a coincidence Dayles return has seen an improvement in results and I think he's going to really kick on as he starts to read Bayo better.
Oh I'm not getting dragged into cattle puns I can't stand that kind of herd mentality

Williamson is obviously great, but I always preferred Johnson. Not at left back though.
I think Parish Council Hall works best
Parish Council Hall wins it.
Parish Council Hall it is then. Gas room in concensus shock!
Oh hold on a minute we haven't heard from Dev yet....
Dev's probably on the train concentrating on more important things!
Sorry Gents, been on the continent buying some livestock for the farm.
Got myself a lovely Nicois Bull and a Paris Cow 'n all.
I'll get my coat.
You'll be expecting tomorrow's match to be a game of two calfs, then?
Pull the udder one.

@Morris_Ital What's your beef with them?
@hcBlue He can't be bothered to rustle up a comment
DevC already milked that one on another thread.
Sorry, I really am going.> @HCblue said:
That's the one.
Yesterday on Something to Delight the Pedants. (Now including an excellent post by @OakwoodExile.)
Hope the criticism will not cow HC into submission
Do we spend more time thinking of terrible puns than discussing the team and it's tactics... . It's a moot point
Depends on his moo-d but doesn't sound like a man to turn the udder cheek.
@HCblue I mean. Morris nipped in ahead of me. No pun intended (or offered for that matter).
back to the OP, not sure hoof-ball really suits him but presume Dayle will have a run in the team now- at least until Scotty Brisket is fit again.
Talking of wingers, always did think Martin Bullock was better than Dave Charolais.
You've all given me a lot to chew on here.
All this punning shenanigans should be put out to pasture
Whereas I could go on until the cows come home.
Think you deserve a pat on the back for that one, HC. Very amoosing.
@DevC you're talking Bullsh1t
