I'd take Luke Williams back in a heartbeat.
We did him dirty under Lee Power. Sherwood looming over him. He must've been fuming.

Lovely, another (localish) ground (for me) to tick off next season.
Fair play to Luke Williams. A midfield pairing of Bostock and Matt Palmer, both ex of the SN1 parish.

Pleased for LW. Never hear a bad word and was the fall guy for those ‘orrible bastards.

At the time,many. But we Town fans tend to do that retrospective reassessment thing quite a bit |

Williams was out of his depth when he was here.
People can (obviously) improve with experience and time in different jobs.
I wouldn’t want the Williams we saw here back but it’s probably a safe bet he isn’t that Williams anymore

I don't get the sudden hard on for LW.  Valid point he was shafted by Power and Sherwood.  But he didn't inspire me back in 2016/2017 and still doesn't now, ok got Notts County up, wow big deal, lets see how he does in League two in the same vein Richie Wellens has to prove it in League one. Jody Morris will probably get a team promoted in six years, but his time with us he could inspire a fly to buzz round shit.  |

Didn’t particularly rate LW when he was with us but he picked up an insane number of points this season so he has clearly come up with a winning formula. I think he was probably operating under difficult conditions when with us with those above him stipulating that he must play our duff loan signings to avoid financial penalties etc.

LW used to say three draws was a win. Today one draw was.

County v Chesterfield was a very good game, County played the football but Chesterfield looked more like a team, some excellent players for both sides, Dallas, Colclough, Dobra all skillfull and the big captain and CB Grimes was excellent.
Bostock was the best player on the pitch for me. Countys leading scorer Langstaff showed absolutely nothing all game missing his 2 best chances. The little black winger Nemane looks a real find, the rest were decent players but not outstanding.
County lined up with 3 at the back and Chesterfield constantly found ways behind them down the wings and could have won easily with the chances they created.
2 poor keepers on show though but the winning move was obviously Williams subbing the keeper for the loanee who saved 2 pens in the shoot out at the end.
Williams team played how we did under Lindsey, lots of passing but few clear cut chances in the box, but at least he emplyed 2 wingbacks who could actually cross a ball.

County's high defensive line was constantly caught out by Dallas running in behind in the first half. Not sure they'll be able to be so 'cavalier' in league 2.

Absolutely, against better players it wont work so well. That Dallas looks a good prospect. |
