It would be a massive help if he could kick on a bit and help us out resting Isak. It worries me how raw he looks for a 21 year old though.


Not that I’m totally disagreeing but I also think when you are used to seeing Isak every game any replacement will look a bit raw particularly with different strengths. 
 

Would like him to drift away from defenders to receive in space rather than being drawn towards them and battle for the possession as the ball comes to him.

 

Definitely something there EH can work with the glimpses I’ve seen.

Sunday would ideal for him to get off the mark, hopefully he can.

That would be some injury time as we ko on Saturday

Yes and no.  His touch and some of his anticipation, being a bit flat footed, head down and not seeing a pass.  Have all been noticeable in his brief cameos.  Not sure it has anything to do with being used to Isak, IMO. 

 

Of course he hasn't really had any meaningful minutes and I don't think he has played in the U21's either?   So he could just be trying a bit too hard with his limited minutes and also have some rustiness to shake off.  Especially with him already having a chant and being popular amongst fans.  Despite barely kicking a ball for us. 

 

I certainly agree there is something to work with and he has some great attributes.  He looked decent against Wimbledon, I thought.  Considering the way the game went would not have suited a player like him at all. 

 

Against a similar level of opposition on Sunday.  I am hoping he gets off the mark and puts in a decent showing.

Isak won’t be involved.

Yeah, Eddie said Isak would be rested in his presser. He did say it was due to being careful with his hammy, and if it wasn’t for that he would have been involved in some capacity (sub presumably).

 

So, aye, looks like Big Willy is nailed on to start.

I just don't understand why we would buy a young player with potential and not properly use him until a whole year later.

 

When does that ever work?

If he does start and doesn’t have the best of games we need to give him time. He’s a young lad that’s jumped up a grade, he’ll take ‘Eddie’ time.  I trust our coaching staff.

Hope he takes his time and doesn't try too hard and rush things

Which he has done in his appearances so far. Hope starting instead of coming on settles him a bit.
