Its got to be something like this, he is too talented a player to not be out there unless he doesn't want to be. If Willock wants out due to a personality or style conflict then trade him. He is not doing us any good right now anyway. | | | |

Notwithstanding Ainsworth admitting his “style” and formation was way off for the Watford game and he suddenly realised the need to use the squad appropriately and to their strengths.
So would Willock now fit into a style that isn’t based on Wycombe mark 2?
Academic now and I guess we will never know, apart from Clive.
What a waste. | | | |

It's all great shame.
But Ainsworth has only started him three times I believe.
No opportunities to show his skills and for me that's on Ainsworth.
People bashing Willock, remember we bought him for £750k, we will make a profit.
If figures are to be believed he wasn't in the top half dozen on the payroll, yet two of the top three highest wage earners were Adomah and Dozzell, neither of whom have ever at all performed at the levels Willock has done for us over one season, yet there are so many of our fans quick to bash Willock despite all that.
As said Dozzell and Adomah not had that and they have both been consistently picked by Ainsworth and still not performed.
And as a few others have said, finally Ainsworth chooses a style of play that would suit Willock and its obvious Ainsworth doesn't want Willock.
Willock, I am certain wants to play but he has not been picked.
For me he will go down as a successful signing, we will make a profit on him, and he has been outstanding at times during his time with us,and I am sure he will improve elsewhere but for the last half of last season he simply was not picked. That has been the issue. We will regret this as we did with letting Warburton go.
People forget lots people criticised Les Ferdinand for being lazy and one guy near me was constantly bemoaning Eze not getting involved. Now Willock.
Our fans sometimes can be brutal.
I hope he does well and stays. If Ainsworth has found out his style was the style we were playing before he came along, maybe Willock will stay.
Sure he will be picked on Wednesday if he is staying.
I think Dickie left because of the massive criticism the fans vented his way. But Dickie was being picked every game. Willock has hardly been picked at all and has had pelters. I understand if he wants a move, but if he does go, I wish him well. | |

The problem is not Ainsworths, that ship has sailed.
He's was offered a new contract on improved wages last year and the only reason he didn't walk on a free was the one year extension (thanks Les).
Cash in now he has no affinity with this club and he is thinking about his own career (can't blame him).
Not sure he will ever get the purple patch he had with us at another club. | | | |

Sorry Clive
Appreciate you may have insider knowledge but where was I wrong in this.
I think Willock has been a success
Ainsworth hasn't picked him throughout
If he has been offered new deal and he not accepted, the fact Ainsworth hasn't picked him and understandable he not signed it. Its been said his dad heavily involved in negotiations and obviously was holding out for better deal that he felt his son could get elsewhere. And Ainsworth style until last game was not accommodating Willocks best which Warburton and Beale managed.
We will make profit on him, he has not been paid that highly compared to others or do you know something there ???
He has had at least season and half when he been here when he has been very good
He will do well elsewhere because he is a quality player.
He has had injuries. But consequently not selected. Is the reason for his non selection where you say I am wrong. I not happy with the last half season but can't knock the rest of his time with us.
Happy to be told otherwise on this if you have inside knowledge on any of this. [Post edited 15 Aug 2023 3:00]

We all know how talented he is and how good he can be. However, the current situation stinks of an attitude problem. Chair is also a creative attacking player and has no problem getting games under Ainsworth, so why wouldn't he pick Willock if he was displaying the right attitude and form?
Ainsworth won't suffer people who aren't all in for the team and culture he's trying to build. It seems that Willock wants away, which is fine if you keep working hard while here and being paid a good wage by QPR, but has effectively downed tools. Fact is at present there's been little or no interest in him. As I've already mentioned he could have signed a new deal and would still get a move if his form warranted it.
Sorry I just do not buy a Willock as the victim scenario. Nothing I've seen suggests that might be true. If he was working hard and playing well he'd have more interest if he wants away and it would also benefit both QPR and Ainsworth to use him. | | | |

I find it very hard to believe Boro would pay £2 million for a player who hasn't played this season and hardly this year, is injury prone, and hasn't played well for 10 months or so now. Unless they are so comfortably off and FFP safe it's just pocket money for them, and they can afford to take what would be a big risk. | | | |

Last six months I agree.
Something not quite right somewhere.
But last six months in general has been a disaster.
Even if scenarios are true, he is far from being the only one. | |

What about Critchley? He was awful for him and he's far more in the Warburton and Beale mode than Ainsworth. Willocks poor form and attitude under Critchley is conveniently ignored in some analysis.
Also the wages that were published on the click bait website were guesses, so if you're surprised by them (Willock being low down) then it's probably because they were poor guesses. I think everyone who commented on that thread said as much, so don't take it as any indication of wages. | | | |

I think it’s best for all parties if Willock moves on in this window. Whether he will is a different story.
As for Crooks, my Boro mate informs me that he’s only just signed a new contract and is integral to how they play. Reckon the chances of getting him are between slim and none.
And Slim’s ridden out of town. | | | |

There are kilometres of space between those lines you can read between Numpty.
Clive can't say more, obviously and rightly so.
Suffice it to say, sometimes it's best for players to move on. It was right for Dickie, it was right for Dieng and now it's right for Willock.
It doesn't mean the management or the board have got this particular thing wrong. It's like Manning: he's done the same thing to Swansea as he did to us. Most players will put their finances and playing futures above their clubs. If they don't want to play, they just don't. It's pretty easy for players to pull out of tackles, not be fit, not put much into training. Who wants that when you're trying to build team spirit and never say die attitude.
The main thing with Willock is we've been ridiculous unlucky. Someone who hasn't got a poor injury record just gets a very bad injury at the time when he was going to be most valuable. He's given us a lot of pleasure, he was a bargain, so definitely not a failure from the Club, but I think it's time for him to go with our good wishes for the times he's given us a lot of joy. | | | |

The bit that isn't right is this general theme that Ainsworth is somehow the problem here, doesn't want Willock, plays a style that doesn't suit him, and Willock's an entirely innocent party who tries his best every week and is just desperate to play for QPR.
Like I say, it would be completely perverse in our situation atm for Gareth to be leaving our best player out for no reason at all. There's plenty to bash Ainsworth about, but he's right about Willock, and he's right about Richards too. If you're not going to pull on the rope, track back on defence, then you're not going to play, we'll pick Paul Smyth instead who's not as talented but will do those things and we'll be a better collective team for it. It's up to those two to respond, not the manager to change everything around to suit them.
Hunter's got it right further up. If you're trying to change a culture at a place you can't have somebody getting special privileges because they're the biggest name or the best player. Of course everybody always screams "but Adel but Adel" at this point, in the same way that whenever we sign a 33 year old everybody screams "oooh it's the new Derry/Hill". Adel, and Warnock, were a unique one off.

Put simply, it's very risky to pick a player simply because they played well two managers ago. | |
| "Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1." |

yeah... it really should not have worked. Warnock was warned at his first training session "don't pick him, he'll get you the sack".
So what does he do, makes him captain but asks the other players to never pass to him in our half... Only Neil Warnock could pull this off. [Post edited 15 Aug 2023 10:16]

Yeh it was lightning in a bottle - the best player the Championship has ever seen and the best manager in the division at that time. You could rightly say Ainsworth is no Warnock and you'd be right, but Willock's no Taarabt either whatever him and his old man think. | | | |

I repeat, the culture in a place is defined by the worst behaviour which you accept. If GA accepts CW doesn't have to track back, he's letting everyone off. | |

I must also dispute "Ainsworth doesn't pick him"
Willock was injured vs Millwall on 11th Feb and missed the last two games of Critchley's reign, and was unavailable for the first 5 of Gaz's.
Ainsworth put him straight back in the team, playing 75 minutes and 90 minutes (LFW ratings 4, 3) at which point he was dropped to being a sub or unused sub.
So he's mostly been injured or in bad form - but we're saying he should be rewarded for this? The idea of Chris Willock is our best player. The reality of Chris Willock at the moment is nowhere near our first team - contrast with Smyth this weekend | | | |

Would not surprise me if we let go of Willock for a relatively paltry sum and he goes and tears it up at another club.
As for Dozzell, cost us a million and is in the top 3 earners at the club, yet Ainsworth trots him out every week to aimlessly wander around the middle of the park contributing barely anything. Farcical.
I have never been one to be overly critical or disparaging of anything or anyone, but the decision making at this club has been fcking woeful for far too long and it has started to boil my piss.
Another rant over. | | | |
