Williams did have the odd good game, which is why it's a fair comparison imo, in that his attempted flashiness and occasional good performance seemed to make people think he's actually doing something instead of giving the ball away.
There were plenty of people who thought Williams was a very good player when he was actually here, same with Stephen Hughes as well, but in hindsight I think everybody now realises they weren't. I think the same will probably be true of Wellens too, in that after he's left us, he'll be seen as being very medicore players for us whose occasional glimpses of great play were few and far between and I'm starting to think the same will happen with Gallagher and Dyer as well.
I do think Wellens is definitely better than Gareth Williams was fwiw, but not by enough. If we want to be challenging for automatic promotion we need much better.
