Properly mental if he doesn't play between now and League 1...
I was telling everyone he was the best player in Championship six months ago. I'm not convinced Willock, nor Jesus Christ his Saviour, could be a bad influence on the team, so it has to be a "tactical decision", and I can't actually see any tactics on the pitch.
The strategy for QPR scoring a goal currently is not to have any shape or training ground routines, but "let's hope Amos has a run through on goal, bouncing the ball off defenders and nearly poking it into the goal".
I would definitely back Willock to fluke a goal over anyone else in the squad, and fluking a goal is the best hope we currently have. |  | | |  |

If you didn’t already know by now, Ainsworth picks work rate over quality. So long as you fist pump and work hard, and preferably are an older pro, you’re in.
Meanwhile, one of the championships best players is sat on the bench. Presumably because he doesn’t work hard enough, or is dragging his feet on a new contract (if we can afford it). So he’s not committed enough. Even though we’ve actually got him under contract for another year, as we have a +1 option.
We need all the help we can get right now. But for Ainsworth, he doesn’t fit the bill. That’s called “cutting your nose off, to spite your face”. |  | | |

Willock instead of Martin - surely not. He’s our new captain, whom this gobshite would make his first signing, given the opportunity to ‘build his own team’. Even the half wits who were calling for this weeks ago must now smell the coffee.
Would David Brent motivate you at work every day? That’s what they’re facing, and it seems anybody in his corner being looked favourably upon. Although maybe I missed Martins leadership skills tonight, apart from one run.
Ainsworth was a likeable joke as a player, but who thought this was a good appointment for manager …death by social media, as I’m pretty sure the owners were sucked in by certain elements there. The same who vent during games when you can’t even get a signal at Loftus rd… | | | |

I would have put Willock on, he can turn a match. But he's also been stinking the place out for far too long. I imagine that he really doesn't want us to take the year's option. | | | |

Massive call by Gareth to continually Willock from the side when the team is crying out for creativity in the final third. When Ainsworth said that the cavalry were coming I didn't realise that he was referring to Dad's Army. [Post edited 19 Apr 2023 23:00]

It would make sense if there was an identifiable system in the final third, but.... | | | |

Yeah good to see you Fish. I can only assume though that Willock doesn't give that much of a fcuk, and hasn't for a while. His body language looks that way when he's made it onto the pitch.
There are definitely things that Ainsworth could be doing subs-wise that he isn't but I just see Willock as symptomatic of the problem more than anything, could be wrong I know. |  | | |

One thing is for sure, our subs don't warm up properly. Albert was doing mild stretches for about 2 mins of the second half and none of the others do much before that guy with the blonde hair "illegally" come trotting down the sideline telling them to do not much warming up. All the Norwich guys were stretching, sprinting etc and Albert literally did nothing for 10 mins before coming on. |  | | |

Ainsworth doesn't trust Willock. The way he lost the ball for Coventry's third might have been the final straw. And he wouldn't want to put him in front of Drewe either... |  | | |

15 minutes to go score = stalemate, players tiring so bring on your arguably best attacking player and run at them and create a bit of havoc, hasn't It been that way for the last 100 Years?
I'd grant you his form Is nowhere near his best recently but he's far to good to be left sitting on his hands, you never know he could have made a difference.
Some decisions are bafffling. | |

ah man. I concede that there is the slimmest possibility that i actually have not identified the single solution to QPR's problems.
I dunno man, I get that you need players up for the scrap on the pitch, but at this stage, and without an obvious XI that are 'on board' , and when we so clearly struggle to create chances... he must be a proper wrongun!
Good to see you too man | | | |

He (GA) omitted him from the ‘hardworking players’ list in some interview or other the other week. I’m going to allow myself one jump to a conclusion and say I suspect he’s this year’s Grant Hall, as pointed out by Norf on another thread. | | | |

Doesn’t matter how good or talented you are/can be, if you don’t work hard, you shouldn’t play. Can’t be picking players who aren’t trying.
That doesn’t mean grunt over flair, passion over tactics, or anything like that. But you have to try. If he’s also shown insubordination off the pitch, even more reason why you can’t play him. As many clubs have shown many times over the years, you cannot allow players to act badly and be rewarded. The manager has to maintain the power. This isn’t a short term thing; it has long term impacts. Look at Utd, as soon as the club backed the players over Moyes, from then on, for 7 years, Utd had a problem with work-rate and discipline. As soon as the new fella was backed over Ronaldo, everything has picked up. Many many more examples.
I wish Willock was up for it and keen and willing to commit. Then he should definitely play.
I suspect his Dad is the real one who is hoping the club don’t extend the contact….and if we do, I suspect he’ll be injured a lot of next season… |  | | |

Yeah, I've said on a few threads now, I get the impression he's doing his best to ensure we don't take the one year option on him. | | | |

Who knows, but Ainsworth is skilled at identifying and playing the right sort. Why would let he play the best player we have without a good reason. | | | |

Given the way those 3 have been playing (or not being available) in recent months, I’m inclined to think Ainsworth is in the right and the poor darlings can’t take some deserved criticism. | | | |
