Willock the 95th minute substitution 17:29 - Oct 28 with 6550 views | numptydumpty | If you are a decent man manager, people you don't rate or like, you do not humiliate them every week for humiliations sake. That's pathetic man management and why on earth is he never asked these questions in post match interviews. If he is against him no point having him on the bench. From the outside in, this is the actions of someone who holds a grudge but as a tactic in a professional game. Why ??? [Post edited 28 Oct 2023 17:29]

Willock the 95th minute substitution on 17:38 - Oct 28 with 5394 views | ngbqpr | In addition to the bizarre Willock subbing routine (with that random start thrown in - was it Swansea)...we have Armstrong disappearing into thin air today while Kelman reappears from thin air...Smyth, early season favourite and doing ok, comes back from the high of his first NI start / goal, benched...Richards missing in action, suddenly back on the bench. Drives me nuts. | ![](/images/avatars/7941.gif) |

Willock the 95th minute substitution on 17:59 - Oct 28 with 5180 views | numptydumpty | The message this sends out to the rest of the squad if manager doesn't like or rate you, he will hang you out to dry. Regardless of whether deserves this or has played dreadfully, it's the message this sends to the rest of the squad. Ainsworth always makes his subs after the horse has bolted. 87th minute for Smyth. We had no outlet after Dozzell s dickhead moment. Attacking sub should have been made then or at least by the 70th minute so chance to influence the outcome. Always making the substitution after we go behind is frankly amazingly dim. | ![](/images/avatars/9720.gif) |

Don't pick him on the bench then or waste a minute in injury time bringing him on. That's the part that makes no sense. Doesn't like him, rate him or contract situation, then ignore him completely. That's the correct way to deal with that. [Post edited 28 Oct 2023 18:04]

But why the weird fixation with putting him on in added time? Contract issues, fine, don’t play him if that’s the policy. Also, why take up the option if it’s a contract thing? Just to burn another year’s salary? I know we have some boneheads running the club but this is all plain weird. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Willock the 95th minute substitution on 18:03 - Oct 28 with 5120 views | LazyFan | Your score and then get sent off. Making the manager look like a muppet for not being able to manage your discipline as a player. In addition, you have another midfielder just back from injury picking up a yellow so, he misses the next game too. Ensuring they are clear for the next manager to come in and use them all the time without fear as they have cleared down their yellows. Mere coincidence no doubt. My view is the players want him out. | ![](/images/avatars/1596.gif) |

Why does Nick London not ask the question in his interview, you have put Willock on for last couple minutes injury time now on four separate occasions. What's the reasoning behind this. Bit sad he not asked the question Feel it deserves a response from Ainsworth. | ![](/images/avatars/9720.gif) |

Willock the 95th minute substitution on 19:01 - Oct 28 with 4787 views | ted_hendrix | I posted this bollox on some other thread. 2-1 down at home and In the 93rd minute our much-maligned Manager takes off the rapidly deteriorating Colback who for the second game on the TROT gets himself booked and now banned and replaces him with what one might call a recognised goalscorer who goes by the name of Chris Willock. Now Chris Willock has suffered lately from whatever he has suffered from, lack of game time, maybe lack of confidence, who the effing hell knows, what I do Know Is he (Chris Willock) has scored some rather well scripted goals in his time here, he hasn't scored those well scripted goals whilst sat on his bottom but when out on the pitch. I just feel rightly or wrongly that If by chance Chris Willock could maybe score the odd goal It might just might reignite his enthusiasm for the game. Thus propelling QPR up the table Into the dizzy heights of just a wee bit above the relegation zone. | ![](/images/avatars/1438.gif) |

This is rubbish. Players put in a proper shift today. And the idea that players are cynical enough to deliberately engineer getting yellows and reds to be banned to miss games because they think a new manager will pick them is nonsense. | ![](/images/avatars/24226.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Willock the 95th minute substitution on 22:12 - Oct 28 with 4104 views | derbyhoop | What we know about Willock is that 1. He is out of contract in June 24 and shows no sign of extending it 2. He's missed a lot of game time over the last 18 months with hamstring issues What we don't know Is he properly fit? Is his attitude right? Does he really want to play for us? Can he be trusted to put in the necessary effort? If any of the last 4 can't be answered with a Yes, then you ought to know why he's not getting picked. I'm still puzzled by getting on in added time. That bit doesn't make sense. | ![](/images/avatars/1276.gif) |

So, we go a man down, while drawing with the best team in the league, and you’d make an attacking substitution? Bold. I don’t think ainsworth is in the minority in thinking this isn’t the best approach. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
