Willock is allowed to go in Jan, which makes it all the more bizarre. Can only presume it is fitness issues (again). Yep. Presumably they’re building him up slowly behind the scenes. Hope someone asks the question of Howe soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope someone asks the question of Howe soon. I think he was asked recently and indicated his injury at Leeds was a nasty one and it'll take time to get him up to speed. Not sure when it was, but i'm sure it was in the last couple of weeks. I think he'll definitely be asked again prior to weds, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted December 15, 2025 Share Posted December 15, 2025 I do agree that it is too early to tell. But there are grounds for major concern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronson333 Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 Having a much better half, improved performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 His touch has been hit and miss. But he is the out ball every time. Schar and Thiaw seem to be picking him out with ease and he is always showing for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lish007 Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 Liking his performance this half. Got some speed too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronson333 Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 Picks up space well in that gap between defence and midfield (which is usually our nemesis) and some decent tackling/recoveries too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 He’s clearly got decent technical ability paired with an actual willingness to track the runners and do the dirty stuff. He seems a bit lightweight though and likely to pick up injuries. Feel like he needs one big game to really kick start his career here. Probably gonna come against one of the top clubs if it does.

brummie Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 He was with us since he was 7 or 8 years old, as were both his brothers (and the one still is), he's only ever been the one place. He's going to need time to settle, but he will show his quality. He's a very good player, he just looks a bit fish out of water at the moment.

He’s shite, we seen at least 400 mins of him after a nasty injury at a new club and he needs writing off as a waste of money. ok? 😉 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 (edited) Starting to shake some of the rust of fit within the role. Probably his best performance so far. Edited December 17, 2025 by Hudson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like he's got technical ability, then he ends up giving the ball up after doing all the good work. Hopefully a full 90 mins will do him the world of good.

Pilko Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 There's something there for sure, just not quite yet. Hopefully today at least demonstrated he should be getting the nod ahead of Willock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 Thought he was steady but a bit overly safe again. However, probably his best performance for us so far overall and it's good that he got a full match under his belt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 Thought he had a good game me. Maybe a tad safe at times but a canny ball to Bruno before the Miley chance that led to the corner. Definitely his best game, albeit a low bar.

madras Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 Id love to know what the pre match planning was as it seemed like he was to move central, 6ft from Wissa when we built from the back and Tino would move into where you'd expect Ramsey to be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
