As this season`s fortunes start to change, the transition of one of our players form has truly impressed me. Darren Williams shares a number of resemblances with Ex-City player Darren Holloway, name, position, squad number and some even say looks. At the start of the season a familiar 'hold your breath` feeling was shared by most of the City faithful when Williams was defensively asked upon.

However, since a short spell on the sidelines after suffering an injury, the resurgence of this seasoned campaigner has to be admired. Such as Crouch or Hargreaves did for England, Williams has gained support on and off the pitch and is beginning to become an assured week in week out performer.

Williams the battered war hero of our victory over Dagenham & Redbridge, receiving warranted treatment no less than three times. He seemed to be the only player, when Dagenham were down to 10 men, who controlled the ball and employed it into an attacking move.

Saturday`s display showed a reluctance to concede by Williams and was consolidated by very tidy performances by both Wetherall and Clarke. I would ask, is it time to take our concerns from right to left?
