Well shit…

[Donut]

Thats a shame... Get Miley in. Dont want to see Willock starting in his current form.

[Shak]

It’ll be Willock, for sure. Think the role in our system requires a lot of running and I don’t think Miley can cover the ground.

Tonali could do it with Miley playing as the #6 (or Bruno back to #6 and Miley RCM) but Sandro has bossed it to such a massive degree in that spot that trying something else before such a huge run of fixtures would be a bit mental.

Huge miss, people don't appreciate how good he is until he's not playing and we look all over the place in the middle .

[Dancing Brave]

A good sensible decision, much better to miss the last four games and do it more harm and miss six months of next season.

Willock will raise his game I'm sure of it. Him and Miley will both help get us over the line and into the Champions League.

Eddie’s comments on Little Joe after the Ipswich game:

 

"It was a tough decision but I think Joelinton has played on the left for us," the Newcastle United head coach said. "Joe Willock is a natural player that wants to play on the left, although he's right footed, very similar to Joelinton.

"So we tried to keep the rhythm of the team rather than bring someone who maybe prefers to play on the right like Lewis. So that was behind my thinking.

"Joe's an outstanding player, in his own right, he's done some really good things for us this season. I think he'll benefit from the game today. He's got a big part to play in our last four games."

 

Time to shine Little Joe.

What, about 3

Willock needs to stop all the clumsy fouls he makes. Time and time again.

i'm the other way round.

would use him him if we really  struggle.

get CL and deal with his knee after.

 

but i'm desperate for CL.

Willock or miley will have to step up big time like. We need yous now lads. 

[black_n_white]

Probably means  5 at the back is on the cards at some point.

[Newcastle Fan]

Good think is this is one area where we have good depth, happy with Miley or Willock to start.

[Sibierski]

So is it a case of resting and us hoping again he doesn’t need surgery? Then come July/August in pre season, he needs surgery and is out for say 4 months.

If it’s a niggle I hope he just goes under the knife like Sven did recently and gets sorted for pre season.

[Sima]

Ugh, with this run of games we need him more than ever.

[St1pe]

It feels like Willock is already set up to fail here but with a run of starts he’s more than capable.

Depth in terms of numbers we do. In terms of quality we don’t.

If we get wins in the next 2, I’d be happy with that as we’d just be consolidating our top 5 place in those last two.

The Chronicle says Willock could be injured now 

[The College Dropout]

Awful news. He will be a massive miss
