Joe Williams is more than happy, perhaps even relieved, to put an end to questions and debate over his fitness and injury record.
The Bristol City midfielder's history with hamstring issues has been no secret since moving to BS3 over two years ago. He described his debut campaign as "probably the toughest year of my life" after making just two appearances through injury before backing that up with 22 Championship games last season.
It led to manager Nigel Pearson deciding against playing him in three fixtures a week and Williams was often a frustrated figure sitting on the bench, sometimes out of the matchday squad, on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening.
