He was at fault again for their first just as he was at fault on Thursday night for the hearts goal, he is so indecisive, i'm not sure what made him come then stop for the ball, it's not as if he is tiny, and before anyone has a pop i know he has made a lot more great saves but i wish he would be more commanding in his box, first goal definitely on his shoulders today

Some terrific saves again today but collectively the goals we gave away were poor, but for Williams, these are blips

The first goal looks even worse on the highlights.

Surpise surpise. More negative garbage from some who like a dig or two.
If you watched hibs regularly you wouldn't dare criticise Ben Williams. Any mistakes he makes pale into insignificance when compared to all the positives he brings.
He's the best keeper we have had in years and one of the best in the league. End of discussion unless someone is willing to fork out for Asmir Begovic.

Is this because he saved a shot and the ball broke back to a hear7s player?
I despair.

For some to try and attach a specific negative trait to the man, such as "so indecisive", is out of order.

Sure the defending leading up to it was crap and Nelson's effort was shocking but Ben is the last line of defence and if he had held that shot or at least turned it away from the front of the goal the danger would ah be been averted so aye I would say he was at fault for the hearts goal...as I said not just down to him but he played his part.
Ben's a gid keeper though and will save us many more points than he costs us and sure the vast majority of the support will be delighted when he signs a contract extension.

I have to admit he is prone to the odd mistake but the best keeper we have since Daniel Anderson. I also thought he could have done better with the shot that lead to the Yams scoring and where was he going when United punted the ball up the park? The situation was under control and if he had stayed back he could have got an easy header back. Minor mistakes but both lead to losing goals. I'd rather have him in our goal than McDonald any day of the week.

Ben's a great keeper with flaws. Which falls into the category of what we can afford. A faultless keeper??? 1st, they don't exist, 2nd we can't afford them.
Straight forward enough for me.

Williams makes some real howlers at times, and the hear7s goal was another. He spilled a weak shot back out to the player whose shot was then deflected into the net.
How anyone can say that was not a poor goal for a keeper to lose is beyond me, he should have saved and held the initial shot.
He is also responsible for some of the best saves i have seen a Hibs keeper make, and is generally a very decent keeper for us, and one i hope signs another deal with the club.

We would struggle to get someone better than him for the wages we pay. I just sometimes wonder if Murdoch is pushing him enough? I don't think Williams has missed a competitive game since he came to the club, even against the likes of Stranraer in the league cup.

Ben is a good keeper, I know not the best acolade to give anyone but he is the best we have had in over ten years and for me, only behind Rough, Goram, Leighton and about level with Budgie, Colgan and Anderson for keepers we have had in the last 30 odd years.
His one flaw is that, when he makes a howler, they do tend to be of the comic variety. Luckily we have not really been punished too much as a result of his howlers but he does seem to have more than his share of questionable moments.
He also has to carry the heavy "another dodgy Hibs goalie" tag any time something goes wrong. This has first came our way courtesy of Simon Brown and then Zibby. After that McNeil joined the ranks followed swiftly by Makalamby. Graeme Smith and Mark Borwn did not cover themselves in glory either.
We are stick with the tag until we have a spell of a few keepers who are near perfect in terms of errors. Could be a while in coming.

Williams was at fault for the hearts goal and Uniteds 1st goal. Both silly mistakes but he is still a top keeper in the Scottish premiership

Don't think there's much doubt that Ben's the best keeper we've had in years. Pretty sure the times he's come to our rescue far out-weigh the few errors of judgement he's made. If he were to move on we'd struggle to land someone as reliable as he's been IMO.
