He was terrible yesterday mind like he was sniffing glue before entering the pitch. 😂 

Before he started coming good previously I used to think he wandered about looking a bit dazed 

[andycap]

He seems to take an age to get upto speed after injuries then just as he's starting to look great he gets another injury. I'd flog him make some money while we can.

We should definitely cash inn while he still has some value. Because it’s rapidly decreasing. He’s looking really hopeless out there, and just falling over and not clicking with anything we do on the pitch.

Allways been a big Willock fan, and I think his last full season is being understated by many due to short term memory. If it wasn't for the injuries last season, I'm convinced he would've been an absolute baller by now. However, it seems like a year out has had a massive impact on him. A young and explosive player going through all that trouble can really take its toll. I want to give him more time to fully recover (it has been a while already), but I'm starting to lose hope on him becoming what I thought he would be.

Think this is spot on. I think a lot of coaching and consistent play, building his sense of agency in a game, got him to the level he was at, but it's been substantially blown apart by a terrible time with injuries. And space for him to receive so much attention and game time has narrowed down a lot.

[Begbie]

Willock looks afraid of the ball, afraid of tackles. Shouldnt be thrown into games we are chasing. Wonderfull player when he is on form, but should get some pro help outside the field maybe..

Move on times up

[Newcastle Fan]

Disappointed with him when he came on، looked more leggy than those who did play from the start.

That West Ham game absolutely knocked something out of him.

[Yorkie]

Another sub appearance where he contributed absolutely nothing positive. Do hope there's some potential suitors in the summer, think he's done here. Nice lad and given some good moments but I don't think he's that useful now. Hope to be proved wrong.

Time to go , move on

Aye sadly this is where I'm at as well.

Same. Earlier in the season I had him ahead of JL in our best 11. I'm not really sure what's happened. A mixture of injuries, consistency, and confidence I guess. 

 

There's a player there, and we need a squad, but if there's decent money to be had I wouldn't be saying no as things stand. 

[toontownman]

Can't get back to his best without consistent games. 

 

Can't afford to carry a player that contributes nothing to get form/full fitness back. 

 

With PSR so prominent and wanting to keep our best players Willock is an immediate collateral damage sale. We won't get what he is potentially worth though and won't bring in a replacement either, so I get Eddie's catch 22.7

[Unlucky Luque]

Looks like his boots are full of cement again... He's not really a player for unlocking defences when we are trying to get through a low block.

Having a player like him and Barnes to seal the deal when the game is stretched seems a bit like a luxury now. We need another profile first.

[Lush Vlad]

Either him or Miley, possibly Longstaff, although I doubt it. Are going to get a couple of games to impress soon. As Joelinton is a walking yellow and he’s already on 8. 
 

Might even get sent off and give them 3 games the way he’s carrying on  

[Kid Icarus]

Page 172 will be another one that looks funny in a while.

One of them players that is always better in the eyes of the fans when he isn’t actually playing. “Wuh need Willock back” etc etc.

[Decky]

I wonder how much interest other clubs would have in Willock. Said to a mate earlier, he plays a lot for us when he's available, maybe every game in some form. But how many PL teams would take him and would we get more than 15m for him? 

[kingxlnc]

Feels like a Fulham or Crystal Palace player at best. Perhaps West Ham or Brentford

[Holloway]

How much would you take for him is the question

[Weezertron]

I'd want 20million. He's still young, and he's a good player but he needs a run of games to get into form, and we'd have to be in quite a desperate situation to give him that (in the sense that we have a settled starting 11).
