Williams over Furlong

[stargazer_1962]

Furlong was given a contract extension near the beginning of last season after a great start under Carlos.
Hopefully he sorts himself out and puts in a good performance today.

I said the same thing this morning. If Furlong gets sent off again through petulance which costs us - hope he does one! You only need to look on social media and there?s numerous comments about him being the weak line. Yeah he does have a good throw - wow!

I?m sure Mason takes plenty of notice of the fans on social media.

We all know that Furlong is better going forward than he is in his defensive duties but if he can re-capture the form he had under Corberan then, for me, he has to start ahead of Williams, for the present at least.

It's great that Williams had a very promising cup game and I don't doubt he can beat Furlong for pace, but the Championship is very demanding and he lacks the needed experience to start. That said, I hope he gets the opportunities to play to build up that experience and can certainly see that happening, especially when we might need more defensive qualities in games.

Really pleasing to see another academy player begin to break through and wish him all the best but maybe need to see him walk a bit more before we have him running? Little doubt that the competition will do Furlong good though.

It will. Would have liked to see Williams in the match day squad though.
