Likely to be out for 4 months.

No doubt some fans won't be fussed as they don't rate him, but he's barely had a chance this season.

Pity, we could have done with him finding his form.

   I reckon that's the last we will see of him in a Rovers shirt.4 months out takes us to around April.Then he has to get match fit.And cant see a new contract for him tbh..

Don't like any player getting injured, it is very sad for the lad, it was a bad tackle by there lad, I wanted him to get a chance with us but I don't think he will get much chance with us now as 4 month will take him near the end of the season, DF will bring someone in in window so I feel his chance has now gone

   I agree Vicar.I liked Williams...Sometimes it feels like some players suffer a dip in form and are then thrown to the wolves by fans and the manager alike.Whilst others can saunter along doing nothing to warrant a starting place yet get picked every week...

Maybe Williams has been thrown to the wolves by the manager, but I don't think he has been by the fans. He has received some stick on the forums, true, but I've not witnessed any on match days. In fact, when he came on as sub at Bury the fans were still offering their wives to him, despite him not rising to the occasion of late.

I too rated AW.
He got some stick on the forum for not having a good season in L2 but he scored 11 goals in 25 starts which in my eyes is a good return.

When he has managed to get on the pitch this season he has looked more like scoring than JM.

    Well I think we can safely assume getting at least 1 striker in January is top of DF wish list.We will have Marquis and May with Beestin and Mandeville and DF doesn't fancy either of those two it seems.

I think luck has deserted DF as it looks like everything is going tits up where strikers are concerned.

Who knows, we might already have a deadly partnership on our books with May and Kiwomya. it'll certainly be a faster one, guaranteed!

I’m not sure May is that quick, maybe over about 4 feet.

    We don't really know when Kiwomya is going to be fit yet..We hear he is ahead of schedule but with what he has had it must be difficult to put a time frame on it..

His ability to actually run 4 feet without falling over gives him an advantage.

I reckon he is nearer to 5 feet than four.

Beestin's not a striker, so without Williams we only have three senior strikers on the books. This will make the need for a striker coming in in January will be of a higher priority to Fergie now. A shame for Williams but he hasn't exactly pulled up any trees in the last year.

He has hardly been given much of an opportunity to do so.
A few sub appearances of a few minutes doesn't give anyone much opportunity to find form.

Have heard from a reliable source that a certain Paddy Madden is looking for a move to Rovers in the January window, after falling out with Scunny manager..... Your thought's ..mine not for me, but we wait and see.

A close friend of his told me a similar story in the summer TBH.
He was apparently keen to join us then but for reasons unknown to me it didn't happen.

I would be happy for him to come, he is a natural finisher, just what we need.

Good point Hound.

Madden was heavily linked in the summer, no idea where all this has come from with him but I'd take him in a heartbeat.

He did not look as good as Mandeville in the cheka trade match at the K.M. far from it,he looked shot.

Get those Mande tinted specs off Shelby. Madden didn’t pull any trees up and made a mess of his pen, but he gives us more experience and strength. For me, he could fill either the Copps or Rowe position with ease, as neither Copps or Rowe have done much lately. Trouble is, can we afford him (or someone similar)?

I would imagine not being able to offload Williams may have had something to do with it

Didn't Madden have a pre-season trial with us a few years back when SOD was manager? I seem to remember he played for us at Grimsby.

No wonder they are looking to get rid of him - 24 games this season and 4 goals - 2 of which were against Plymouth and the other 2 in the League Cup.
