This thread is a great example of what this place (and our fanbase) can be like when things aren't going well. We have to find someone to blame immediately, and nitpick at so many things.That was our third defeat in what, 25 games? May has worked his socks off since day one, has plenty of ability and gets into good positions. He needs to learn to be a bit more savvy in league football but that will only come with experience, and he needs to improve his finishing. But I thought he got into some great positions yesterday, positions Williams certainly wasn't getting into, and he deserves a break from the fans.The whole team has surely earned a decent leeway if they have a bad game, considering how well they've done throughout this season.

General consensus is that he's a work in progress and probably time to take him out of the firing line. The title of the thread may have made people's minds up but we did sign him from a Sunday league side.
Well, we didn't...
He has played 9 professional games in the football league. Give the boy a chance..Its almost as if people want our players to fail sometimes.

Give the boy a chance..Its almost as if people want our players to fail sometimes.My sentiments entirely.We seem, no not seem, DO have some fans who at the slightest chance to criticise, jump on a player after a defeat.Alfie May was playing in the 8th tier of football just a few weeks ago. He is now playing at the 4th tier.That is a big jump particularly as he has not had the benefit of a pre season to help him adjust to the considerable step up.Fergie has bought him fo his considerable potential. He is as someone already said 'Work in progress'He is only in the starting line up due to Williams struggling to find the net and Mandeville being injured.Yes I agree yesterday was probably one game too many for Alfie and I would now put him on the bench now and use him as an impact player.BUT TO CRUCIFY HIM is an utter DISGRACE as he is working is socks off and giving everything to the cause. I think this lad will surprise a few on here over the next couple of seasons.GIVE THE LAD A BREAK hero to villain in 4 weeks. I can't believe what I am reading on here sometimes.

You said in that post what most have been saying, where has anyone crucified him?
If Williams isn't 10 times the player he is I'll give up.
The only other option, presently, is Williams and he's not setting the World alight, is he? What other options have you in mind?
