    I like Willo, but he is still only good enough for cover imo. When Tayls is fit, he should defo play as he is a lot better

    Yeah, but in other games he isn't and a fit Stevie Taylor is a lot better and more consistent

    I don't think Willo's underestimated, he's very highly thought of and did a brilliant job tonight. Can't be dropped straight away after a game like that and Saylor might just have to bide his time for a while instead of just walking straight back into the team.

    I'm one of Saylors biggest fans but you can't drop Willo if he's turning in performances like that.

    He's only just been getting back to full fitness, let him achieve that first and gain consistency along the way.

    I like Williamson, he won everything in the air, showed good composure, played a great game, didn't put a foot wrong for me!

    As I say, I like him, but don't think he should be the consistent first choice centre back. Hope he proves me wrong though

    He's a top bloke. His balls need to drop a little though as he talks like he's downed a pint of helium

    It's good to know that Williamson can step up to fill Saylor's place and could give him a fight for it when he returns to fitness.

    <laugh> Your avatar is insane. Pardew looks like he just got a new Carver teddy bear for Christmas and is giving it its first cuddle.

    Wouldn't let him shag my wife (Just Colo) but would let him take her out for dinner and stare at her breasts all night long.

    Touch wood, Williamson has done really well since coming back. Pleased for him as he was probably wondering if/when he'd get back in because of Saylor's form.

    I'll be honest, I was very happy to see Taylor return last season as I thought Williamson's form had seriously waned by that point. But I'll give him credit, he's really impressed me upon his return, and has been surprisingly composed and confident at the back. Keep it up Willo!

    I was one of the lads who said Taylor wasn't as good as him...Taylor made me eat humble pie but tonight Williamson showed why I said it in the first place! He was exactly what we needed...

    I honestly couldn't name a more intelligent CB than Colo in the league? Seriously? Thing is though he isn't the tallest or the the most direct n he needs a 'traditional' CB next to him...Taylor did it magnificently - Williamson is continuing where Taylor left off!

    If Williamson continues on like this there will be calls for an England cap
