Decision making in the heat of battle was putrid. He was a dead set curse. To put Willo in this class is terribly unfair. He is still in Good, bad and ugly mode but I really have confidence he is improving. Watch this space.
Thats hindsight talking.
People forget, Paul Bower was persisted with for a long time before the panic merchant tag set in. He actually played 70 games for us. Willo has now played 25 games. You think if at the same time, Bower was looked at in the same light as he is now? After 25 games he was still looked at as having potential.
Now again, i'm not sure we can right Willo off yet.....but i'm definitely seeing a lot of similarities. I used to watch Bower closely back in the day - when we had the player threads.....and its concerning.
