Ryan Williams' Pre-Blackpool FA Cup Replay Press Conference [video=youtube;SEdZU5I9VQ8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEdZU5I9VQ8[/video] Youtube link.
Just listened to the extra bits after the Radio Sheffield interview ended. He really does sound a very interesting and grounded young man. He creates a very different picture of the spirit in the dressing room than the doom and gloom that we are reading day after day on here. He also deals very well with the Lee Johnson attempt to get him to play "through the pain barrier". It seems like Ryan was a fully participating party to the attempt.
That's not the impression I got at all. He says 'I suppose at the time some people put a bit of pressure on me' and when talking about the fact that he was a big money signing and we were struggling he said 'of course that's what you're going to do, you're going to force him to play'. I think he was being more polite than anything. For example, why would he say 'I don't blame anyone' (without being asked if he blamed anyone) unless that was on his mind a bit? I know he said he put pressure on himself but I imagine anyone in his position would when people around him have expectations from him. 13:26 onwards for people wanting to skip to that bit
