Summed his time up when Hurst didn't name him on the bench for the final few games, despite the fact he was fit and we failed to list a full 7 subs.  Oh and some of the subs were youth team players.

Talent is nothing without attitude.  It may well be a result of his injuries, but if his attitude isn't right then he's no use to use (or anyone I suspect).

I can't help thinking there must have been some personal behind the scenes reasons why Hurst wouldn't play Williams and wanted him gone. He clearly has some talent. I recall the games at Orient and Mansfield last season when he looked a class above most on the pitch, but then he'd be anonymous or left out completely. Anyway, if Barrow can get the best out of him then it will be a win for everyone concerned. We move on.

Was he on that much ?


With all the payroll costs I'd guess I'm not far off. Morais n rose will be in same sort of ball park

I thought he could have been a decent player for us but it didnt work out. Would have thought he had the quality to shine in this league.

Hurst clearly didnt fancy him though. Hw saw him in training every day we only saw him occasionally in a Town shirt. You have go with the manager's opinion.

He lost his squad number and it was clear he wasnt going to feature under Hurst so best for all parties he has gone and hopefully the saving on the wage bill can go towards getting a forward/attacking midfielder in.

We still need 3 or 4 more signings imo. If its being help up because the likes of Rose and Morais are still on the books then hopefully they will get fixed up elsewhere soon.

I wish Williams well. He didnt appear enough to have really given reason to dislike him.

Injuries have ruined him physically and psychologically imho. Got the talent but too scared now to be of any use to us.takes c£125,000 off the wage bill


No chance he was on £2500. Green was our 2nd top earner and on less than that. He also signed in the covid pre-season, so I'd be surprised if he's on much more than £1k a week. I was told Scannell is on less than £1k, which seems very low.

Another player comes and goes without leaving any kind of impression. One of hundreds who will soon be forgotten, but unique in that no fans got to see him in the flesh in a Town shirt, along with a handful of others who will come to symbolise the worst season in living memory.

Hope this is the key that unlocks the deals to come.

It'd be interesting if someone could list ALL the players to play for us over the past 3 seasons, and see how many we can actually remember!
