Night and day. A lad that couldn't care less compared to a lad that really cares and is really struggling with how his career has gone.

Indeed it was quite emotional and he came across well. I still think williams had a bit too much airtime though and was portrayed as a huge difference to our season when in reality if he was fit all season he wouldn’t have made an iota of difference. His comeback against Boro was hailed as this return of the maestro kind of narrative which I think is so wrong. Would have liked to see more of Watmore. Rodwell is a tosser or the highest order, utter wanker.
Seems like this series is at least changing perceptions on certain players & other staff.
We only want success on the pitch, but it's good to see the bigger picture on who actually does/did give a shit, and others who were either out of their depth or hung out to dry. Or hiding.

I agree totally in regards to his importance to the team, but what this documentary did very very well was bring out the human side of players that we'd otherwise not see. Williams obviously cared and it hurt him as a person to not play. It's as clear as anything that Rodwell was the polar opposite.

In his contribution on the pitch, no doubt. But a good documentary goes beyond that and this showed him to be a lad that struggled emotionally and physically but still gave his all throughout. In comparison to Rodwell who didn't even go through the motions and even made decisions solely to benefit himself to the detriment of the club, I'd pick him a million times.Williams.
Another fuckin joke.

Didn't Jonny Williams get done in in a club the night we got relegated because he was giving it the biggun.
Yet him and rodwell probably contributed the same last year. Both will have scored 1 goal

Another fuckin joke.
Bain seemingly not having a clue about his injury record speaks volumes of just what an utter joke we were in our recruitment last season

I’ve still no idea why we signed Williams. His injury record his whole career is horrendous.

Didn’t Williams miss a game with a headache?

What is the f***ing point in comparing those 2?

A migraine.
Very different approaches taken to their careers when times were difficult. If you aren't interested then no worries.

All last season there was constant speculation about Rodwell's mental state, the reality is he sat about in his f***ing flip flops. Williams comes across as a decent bloke who genuinely has struggled mentally and physically but seems to want to do something about it, good luck to him.

Cringed at the point our physio was reeling off his injuries to Bain and then they kind of just went, yeah that's fine. Talk about a red f***ing flag.
For what it's worth, I really liked Williams on the pitch. One of the few that actually made things happen when he got the ball and actually looked to move forward with it.

I think it's a testament to that season that I had no idea who he was, looked him up, and still can't remember him.
