As ever its all about opinions and viewpoints, he won't sign a new contract, we have to sell, the club can't afford the sort of contract and wage he's looking for, why people want to keep running the club down, well that appeals to some more than others. |
not running the club down and agree we should sell him, we should have sold him last year but needs must and all that, I just don't buy this stuff about him being a trouble maker |  | | |

could be other reasons than he is a bad egg though. Ainsworth himself has said he wanted them to play a style like Wycombe which Willock can't do so there hasn't really been a place for him in the team
He'll go and be put in the same bracket as Bright and Manning, bad eggs used the club etc but the club don't come out of this well either, had an outstanding player on their hands and completely miss managed him to the point you can't even pick him |
I don't disagree there, I think the club being an absolute basket case the past 12 months, swinging wildly between managers/systems/set ups, etc, is not conducive to getting the best out of players - especially if they are players brought here with promises or expectations that are now removed.
I don't however buy the style argument. Whilst style will suit some better than others, players with Willocks ability are always able to find a way to contribute, if they really want to. Smyth is a winger/striker, but found a key role at wing back, Kakay a limited RB, but showed he can do a job in a back 3, Dykes a striker, playing in a withdrawn/support role... There's a level of commitment from these players that means they're playing, whilst Willock is left at home, and IMO that puts the ball in Willocks court.
To be clear I don't think he's a bad kid, my personal opinion is that he thinks he should be at a better/higher level than us - fuelled by voices outside the club, and isn't willing to adapt to the extent GA demands. The chaos has added to that and a fresh start is best for all involved, but his demands are limiting his options. |  |

If we sold him last year we probably would have gone down, as he single handedly won us about 15 points start of season.
Need to remember this as well when talking about whether we should have sold earlier. |  | | |

I hadn't realised Manning was at Southampton until I was watching the highlights on Saturday - he clearly did the same thing with Swansea as with us.
I think Bright is the obvious mistake - clearly had pace to burn and we should have been playing him all the time under McClaren as he'd already shown he was more than capable. | | | |

“Look we can’t tell you who the sources are and what exactly they’ve said, but read between the lines…he is the problem.”
“Yeah, but there could be other reasons where the club/manager is the problem not him.”
Uh….
Ainsworth has picked him. He has brought him on. His performances have been very poor, especially his workrate.
How many footballers across the world play in teams/systems that don’t suit them perfectly? Answer: loads. It’s not an excuse for not trying and not being committed. It just isn’t.
Is he playing near his best but being held back? No. Zero evidence for this. He’s not made himself available much. He played against Wimbledon and Oxford. He started under Ainsworth last season. He can on at 1-0 down in a key game against Cov and the gifted them a 2nd and pissed around doing nothing afterwards. He has had chances to play well and show he’s being held back. He hasn’t.
Might it be as he enters his last year he isn’t committed and wants out? Quite possibly. You have people in the know basically telling you this, even if you don’t want to believe your own eyes.
Nah, must be Ainsworth’s fault.
Can’t help but think a lot of people have no experience of managing a large team and/or trying to change a toxic culture….and by toxic I don’t mean everyone is horrible, I mean a culture that causes poor performance and creates a vicious circle, as opposed one promoting high performance and a virtuous circle.
Whether Willock is a lovely boy, whether he turns into a global superstar, whether he has simply been worried about his hammies, whether he prefers to play at 10 rather than right wing, whatever, whatever, whatever…if he’s not committed, not working as hard as is teammates, not putting his body on the line, he doesn’t play, and you move him on. There is no other way. You never pander to individuals. You can’t. It creates a culture of individuals not a team, and football is a team sport. |  | | |

"you never pander to individuals. You can't. It creates a culture of individuals not a team, and Football is a team sport". Think our best team over the last 30 years did exactly that. To me it was the definition of "pandering to individuals" in how Neil Warnock used Adel. Do you not agree? | | | |

Agreed I don't think he's a trouble maker either, he just doesn't want to sign a new contract which is his prerogative that's not the clubs fault or Ainsworths and Clive has intimated that Ainsworth is not the problem.
We could of sold him at the beginning of last season but I'm guessing after the club going through the much requested by fans exhaustive selection process we went with the two faced Pot Bellied Snake who after he had run the interview said to Les I'm only coming if you keep your best players, so that's it Les made a deal with the Devil, in support of Les in this instance he didn't know what a s*it head Beale would turn out like.
Where exactly is the club at fault, Les made a deal with Beale and the bloke walked out on us for a bunch of players in a two bit league in Scotland.
Sorry Dave it just feels like there's a narrative at the moment with everybody trying to blame issues on the club that are sometimes not their making, listening to Ainsworth in interviews he is desperately trying to turn things round and build a team spirit, I loved hearing on Saturday that Cook said to the players before the game, right today's the start of a new season, we have 45 games to go from now.

He did but Taarabt was an absolute light year ahead of Willock in terms of ability, and Adel also delivered for the team in his number of goals and assists, way beyond what Willock has. If Adel hadn't delivered on those two fronts in the first few months, he wouldn't have lasted in that team. Its been a long time since Willock has delivered anything positive.
Adel is really a wild exception to the norm and not really comparable as a result IMO. He was basically a cheat code that no Championship team would normally be able to have. |  | | |

No. I don’t agree. I don’t think he pandered to him.
What he asked him to do, he did very well.
He managed him very well, very personally.
And I’m not saying you don’t adapt your approach to the individual. Of course, in terms of man management you do.
In Warnock’s situation, he identified a team set up and way of playing, and everyone did their role. This involved making it all about Adel, and then having the likes of Derry and Faurlin behind, etc.
Willock hasn’t fulfilled his role in the team, even when we’ve played the same system as when he was successful.
And finally, if Ainsworth wants all XI to work hard, all XI need to work hard. Warnock didn’t ask that of his team. He set up in a way so Adel didn’t have to and he only asked Adel to focus on attacking. I don’t think Ainsworth has that luxury given the difference in squads, and nor does Willock warrant that given his performances. | | | |

yes, but the point was around never pandering to individuals because football is a team game etc and it doesn't work - Adel clearly showed it can work. Yes, you may have a point on the level of ability of Adel making it worth it but you can manage a team and make allowances for certain individuals if its in the greater good of the team - it's been proven as the Adel example shows. | | | |

Come on, you don't think Warnock pandered to Adel?
He allowed him to turn up late for training (regularly), stay out in casinos till the early hrs of the morning, generally be quite rude and disruptive away from the pitch - I'd say he was a much bigger cnt then Chris Willock. He let him have a strop away at Hull because he wasn't getting the ball, rarely tracked back although can argue that's tactical, allowed him to pi*ss off at short notice and miss training to see friends in Morocco (and also allowed him to come back late from those type of breaks).
I reckon if you spoke to anyone involved with the club during that Adel season and asked whether Warnock "pandered to Adel", they'd all say 100% he did. The difference is, they may also say Warnock got them to buy into it because of the rewards for the team and themselves if they did. To me, that sort of special treatment and allowing people to get away with things that others can't is "pandering". | | | |
| Willock to Boro latest Twitter rumour on 14:03 - Aug 14 with 2378 views | LongRanger |
Adel was a magic man, Willock is very good but not great, you can't compare.
Adel situation was like the Argies documentary about Messi at the world cup, the rest bought into him being able to win it, you wouldn't build around Willock as he's not that good and can't stay fit.
Willock doesn't want to be here, appears to have a 'down tools' attitude until he gets his way, not an 'I'll show you how good I am' attitude and so let him go and get what we can. [Post edited 14 Aug 2023 14:04]

No, he didn’t.
It wasn’t pandering. It was a choice. The whole team committed to the approach. Adel did the job asked of him.
I have no problem with trying to maximise the performance of individuals.
But you shouldn’t sacrifice things for one player who is not committed. That is pandering.
Adel was committed at that point and Warnock didn’t sacrifice anything. [Post edited 14 Aug 2023 14:05]

This isn’t a debate about who is a bigger c**t.
Warnock went “this is how I want to play”, and, when on the pitch, Adel did what was asked of him. He did it brilliantly well.
Ainsworth has played 4 formation since he was here, but in all he has demanded work rate as his foundation. Willock has not displayed that. Picking him would be pandering to him.
If Warnock had said I want all 11 to work hard, he would have been pandering to him. He allowed different rules for Adel because the team was set up that way. It was set up for Adel to be different. Adel’s performances and ability enabled that.
If Ainsworth allowed Willock to play and not work hard, his whole base would be undermined.
He may have considered taking the approach Warnock conscientiously decided on and decided we’d be worse off because of the impact on everyone else’s work rates. Fair call. Warnock had loads of excellent, experienced, hard working pros. When Ainsworth came in, he had young, fairly weak blokes. And the team hadn’t been working hard for some time,
So, decision made on approach, he can’t now pander to him or the players have all the power. Adel did what Warnock wanted after he’d decided on approach. It is different. | | | |

I don't disagree there, I think the club being an absolute basket case the past 12 months, swinging wildly between managers/systems/set ups, etc, is not conducive to getting the best out of players - especially if they are players brought here with promises or expectations that are now removed.
I don't however buy the style argument. Whilst style will suit some better than others, players with Willocks ability are always able to find a way to contribute, if they really want to. Smyth is a winger/striker, but found a key role at wing back, Kakay a limited RB, but showed he can do a job in a back 3, Dykes a striker, playing in a withdrawn/support role...

He's not gonna find a way to contribute if he's never picked, started just 2 games since Ainsworth came in, only 4 under Critchley. I find it all a bit odd how we've gone from him coming on at Norwich to a heroes welcome last November to hardly ever playing again | | | |

Hunterhoop, I absolutely agree with your perspective on Willock. But, in making him captain Warnock certainly did pander to Taarabt and it worked. That, however, is the exception that proves the rule you are espousing. Willock is no Taarabt and never will be. |  | | |

When has Ainsworth picked him?
He started at Wigan and home to Preston (taken off in both games) not a single other start, how can he be judged on those 2 games. Balogun got more chances than him
I just find it all bizarre, I do agree he's been nowhere near his best since his hamstring went at Sheffield Utd but your not gonna be if you don't get a run in the side and just come on when the team is already losing and not playing well
I don't doubt he wants to go and we should sell him, just not buying this bad egg stuff about him, it's similar to the Bright/Manning situation, we've created it by not selling him a year ago when it was obvious he wasn't signing a new deal | | | |

No doubt it is sad, and unexpected.
But if he was up for it, and committed he would be playing.
Critchley and Ainsworth knew how good he could be when they joined. They didn’t just both go “I’m going to restrict the opportunities of our best player” for sh*ts and giggles.
If he likes them or not, or their style, or even what he asks them to do, it’s on him.
More importantly, when he has got on the pitch he has barely got up past a run.
Initially everyone thought “he doesn’t trust his hammies”. Maybe he still doesn’t. But whatever the reason, I don’t blame Ainsworth for not picking him.
And, for balance, if he does play and work hard, of course you start him. But point to a game when he has done that since Dec last year, even as a sub. | | | |

chicken and egg though isn't it, if he doesn't play how can he show he is committed, even in his best days with us he was apparently a very quiet kid in the dressing room
He looks terrified to sprint since the second hamstring injury, when he did sprint against Millwall he pulled it again and went off | | | |

Yeah so I think it's a mix of not trusting his hammies, but then not buying into the Ainsworth method so when he does play not giving 100%, to probably avoid another injury that might jeopardise a future move.
So while I can sympathise with him, ultimately for QPR as a club it's not what you want from one of your employees, so best for all concerned if he moves on. | |

You're saying that like he hasn't got opportunities on the training pitch or in meetings to get himself picked. Do you really think Willock is fit, working his nuts off in training, but being left out of the first 11 because Elijah Dixon-Bonner is just too good?
We're not privy to the individal conversations, but it's clear and obvious that the very basic demands of work rate, off the ball positioning, tracking back and putting the team first are what GA demands. We've already seen that if you're a youth team kid with little to no pro appearances, but show those things in training and friendly games, you have a chance to get in the squad. If you're one of the best players but don't do those things, you won't be. | |
