Williams's concern for Dan Gosling is remarkable. It's refreshing to see a manager who genuinely cares for the longer-term health and fitness of his players, even in the face of adversity. We should all applaud his commitment to player welfare.
In addition, the comments about the academy really underline his belief in home-grown talent. This investment in future generations, nurturing players from within, is how we'll build a robust and versatile team. There's something heartening about a manager who, in the face of challenges, takes visible pride in the club's youth system.
