My guess is Boro or Beales lot as brother at Newcastle.
Probably all done and dusted as long as he stays fit.
Thats why the coasting and apparent apathy.

I think it’s more that he is fucked physically. You saw the way he drew up (last match or one before?) he is obvs terrified of his hamstrings. The old Willock could walk into most Championship sides but who would risk a chunky 3 yr deal on him now? Personally not sure I even want QPR to.

So we officially get fuck all for him end of season as out of contract. Quite a turnaround from two seasons back when we had him as a 10mil valuation to getting nothing. Yup, one great season, then injury, followed by couldn't-give-a-toss apathy. Great player on his day, but really disappointed in him as a man. Gutless, spineless parasite.That's overreaction.

Possibly… but I am VERY disappointed in him. Maybe he’s got ‘stuff’ going on in his life, or with his fitness, but it does seem that he’s just treading water, taking every care to avoid injury and not giving a toss if QPR is relegated cos he ain’t going to be here next season. If that’s the case, then I stand by my comment. Really hope he proves me wrong.

go to a 433. begovic cannon cook JCS paal hodge hayden colback smyth sincs chair maybe switch out smyth for willock but smyth deserves a start given willock's poor form. frey still not quite ready to be starting matches and should be playing 70 minutes in reserve games. Willock had a very good first half yesterday. Faded a bit 2nd half, yes. But on that showing I would definitely start him if fit. Hodge, Willock and Chair combo is potentially mouth-watering from an attacking perspective With Hayden and Colback or Field adding cover behind And Frey, once match-fit, up top.

If Andersen does sign it would be interesting to see how Willock would react, I’m guessing both players need to be free of defensive duties to be able to produce their best

We don't even know if he's match fit. I suspect its going to take him a while to adjust.
CW gets a bit of stick on here but he looks to me to be able to spot a pass and create space, I suspect his stats are respectable enough.
Someone the other day was saying Chair should be bench, I must be watching a different team. Neither are consistent but both are important.
Finally as Stains said good to see a coherent footballing statement from someone at the club, even if free was the key word.
willock gets stick because we know how good he is. he's not a one season wonder as we've seen him pull off the sublime this season. my worry with him is he's not all in with QPR. he's playing carefully so he can prove that he's injury free so he can get his move in the summer. he knows he has the stats and highlights to back up his ability but his injury issues would concern any club. heck, look at luke amos as a prime example, we all know how talented he was and he has the ability to be a top half championship player. he gave his all on the pitch but it cost him and took until december for him to finally find a club. willock is a great player but in our position we need players who will go the extra mile to get us out of this mess. thats one of the reasons why many fans favour smyth over willock, willock is clearly better but smyth will try his damndest to make something happen on the pitch. Not sure I would agree. He was brilliant for us under Warbs and also for a short spell at the start of last season (his best is very very good). Problem is, in 18 months or so he has been garbage & uninterested more often than not. Can count on 1 hand anything of note he has done in almsot 18 months. As much as we would all love to have him back to his best, how much time do you give him? How many dross nonchalant performances are allowed on the hope he "might" do something? We can't afford passengers in our current situation. IMHO would much sooner have somebody performing 7 out of 10 every week than Willock putting in 4 out of 10 shifts for 5 games in a row then a glimmer of class in the 6th game.

Yea sorry pal I was focusing too much on your opening line of previous post whereas the rest of it did pretty much align with my views. Shame really as Willock could have been / still be a hell of a player, seems destined to waste it though.

In a one on one and we need a goal to stay up, id rather him ahead of anyone else. But I agree with all the negative points on him too!

So we pretty much know he's off on a free at the end of the season so all we need now is him to roll his sleeves up and dig in to help us maintain our championship status.

Just asking a question:
What are the chances of him signing a new deal with us, bearing in mind the recent (positive) changes at the club, and depending on how the rest of the season goes?
Between 2 and 5% ?

Between 2 and 5% ? I thought about this question myself this morning. I think it's fair to say he will be waiting for his agent t say X, Y, Z are interested in signing you but will there be an X, Y, Z after what he's churned out this season? That's the only way we'd get him to sign if literally no one else wanted him.

some of the reputed wages the players are on, show Willock well down the list. I'd be pissed off if someone half as good was getting double my salary. When on form, what a player he is

Do we want him to renew based on last 18months output? Tough one but I’d say yes just on what we know he can do. It’s been a rough season for all. Under Marti and starting on a better footing next season I’d like to think we’d see the better side of him.
