Willock?
noone in their right mind would even contenplate signing willock!
There's a shmuck plying his trade in Buckinghamshire who's done it once. We can only pray said shmuck does it again

Willock is a waste of space end of .get rid of him now and get someone in who knows how to run,hold the ball up and then head for the goal and score ,surely thats not to much to ask is it?????????????
Now let me see if I've got this right.
We want a player who can head the ball like Andy Mac used to - ie better than CW or Lloyd.
He's got to be able to flick the ball on nicely like Rowan Alexander did with his feet or Blissett did with his head.
He should be able to control the ball with a single touch like Deon Burton did.
Must be able to score consistently like Sweetzer or Dean H.
Has to be fast - David Crown springs to mind.
Commitment to the cause like Jay Tabb.
And a little bit of flair in the box like Stan Bowles.
He should be prepared to come here for no fee, and be paid peanuts - Junior Lewis-like, allegedly.
And he should be young and hungry, but also experienced, like a super-Michael Turner.
Now we know the job description, he should be a doddle to find then.
Sounds like Varney at Crewe. I've said it before and I'll say it again - we have to model ourselves on Crewe to survive.
That means putting our trust in a manager prepared to play attractive football and to use and develop home grown youngsters. The better the football we play, the more we are likely to be trusted by parents, academy coaches, district & national FA coaches etc. to take really promising youngsters.
...still needs to learn how to run though
No I wasn't, you are mistaken there.Ed ,everyone has their own thoughts on players you was one of those that was singing Mark Mac praises when he was with
Sounds like Varney at Crewe.
Let's face it he is totally crap and a complete waste of money. He has had chances to cement his place and has so far done nothing to justify any faith in him.
Pwrsonally I think he is a total disgrace to his profession.
He IS better than he has shown us, his performances and goal scoring record at Peterborough confirm that, but for some unknown reason he has been unable to show us anything.
I have no expectations for him at all - another wastrel seemingly going through the motions and picking up his wages.
Maybe there is something that can be done to turn a key in his brain and make him show us how good he REALLY is, or maybe I was wrong all along - and he just is crap.

i would have to give willock alot of credit again today. played if all his all today. Had a few chances today to score, if he scores i'll think he will banging them away. if a he gets a little bit confidence i can see him being a great player and a legend at our club. don't give him stick just wait and seedoo doo doo callum willock doo doo doo
Thanks Calum. When are you going to score then?
Why is it that when Willock puts in at least a half decent performance, everyone moans?
And when Willock puts in a performance that is better than the rest of the team, its down to his team mates playing poorly rather than him playing well.
Its a disgrace! He cant do anything right. You're all comparing his performance against others and thats not fair. Judge them on their individual performance, and not against team mates.
Could it be that he did in fact have a good game yesterday? Doubt it, its better to moan about him still.
Northampton Bee, I think you must have been at a different game to me mate!
I don't normally post about players Ladbroke but Willock was poor...he missed an absolute sitter that my 12-year-old son would have scored and yet again failed to get a shot on goal.
He was at Fulham and must have something about him - I'd just like to see it, that's all.
Didn't spot his name on the scoresheet yesterday. That's 1 in 23 now.
...and I think I used the word poor rather than sh!t.
Jim, I was not there yesterday, i was commenting on overall performances and reading some messages about yesterday's game. I cant comment what happened yesterday, but I still think that all Willock is missing is confidence, and at the moment it must be low.
Lets start to praise rather than criticise!

They got rid of him as they ascended the leagues, though, so I think it counts for nothing. His goals/games ratio must be worse than Mark MacCammon's!He was at Fulham and must have something about him - I'd just like to see it, that's all.
but to be a good effective striker I think you need to be a bit ugly and nasty (Shearer, Windass etc). If anyone can think of a way of winding him up and turning him into a beast, perhaps they could pass it on to Leroy.

My little Alex is listening to his first ever game with his dad, and he says Willock is his most favouritest player, although he still thinks Nelse is pony![]()
