I was hoping it was some class shthousery between him and Dunne. |
He looked in pain at the end mate! |  |

It'll most likely need a scan and if it's swollen then that mightn't even be today, iirc.
We may not know until tomorrow or Friday. |  |

That would be a real shitter if both/one is serious.
That save last night from Seny was world class.
'save from Senny' should that be by Seny from.. (dunno wasn't paying attention) otherwise has he not saved from himself or doesn't it matter?

What I was thinking, especially after the booking.
As for Willock, I’m struggling to think of a player who’s in action or missing made such a significant difference to a QPR side.
Rodney in 68/69 though we’d still most likely have gone down. Gerry maybe, though we also got results with Leach or Delve but didn’t look the same side. Taraabt, one season and a team deliberately built to suit him.
Fingers crossed it’s not as bad as it looked but expecting December at best. |  | | |

Beale initially suggests that Willock and Roberts came off as a precaution ahead of Friday night but does concede at the end that it could be something more long term: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CjTudTIDep3/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Hopefully Willock felt something and went off as a precaution before doing any serious damage. |  | | |

If it is a long term injury then at least we have the impending World Cup where we won't play for a month. |  | | |

Agree with some of the posts that I'm almost more concerned about Dieng. With Willock we at least have options to shift our attacking approach but Archer is sadly such a downgrade and we saw how it can affect the whole backline last season. Hopefully the fact he didn't come off means it's not too serious. |  |

I think the way Willock was limping around at the end with bandages suggests that this could be a few weeks if we are lucky. We shall see but that level of limping wasn't great at the end. That said, I'd play Willock on crutches if needs be. |  |

It's stating the bleedin' obvious but Willock will be a huge miss for us. He's scored 6 goals in 9 games this season. Chair is next with 3 goals in 14 appearances.
No player can really replace him so everyone will have to up the ante. |  | | |

Friday will be huge for us if we can win without Willock, not managed to do that so far this season |  | | |

One player doesn't make a team, but he sure does make a difference. This will be a huge miss, he makes the team tick. | | | |

let's hope it is not serious and we don't rush him back too soon and risk further time out. | | | |

it looked a bad one, even out for 3 weeks is about 9 games this season
Taylor Richards back next week will be useful |
Stop it Dave
I think by now we all know that Taylor Richards doesn't really exist |  | | |
| Willock injury on 11:28 - Oct 5 with 2036 views | BklynRanger |
Taylor Richards did seem to be similar to Willock in ability to carry the ball so will be interesting to see how that goes.
If he can fill Chris's shoes to a decent extent we could well stay in contention. |  | | |

Just looked. 1 point from the 3 games he’s missed, 20 points from the 9 he’s played.
That’s Relegation v automatic Promotion! [Post edited 5 Oct 2022 12:04]

That being said, the balance of the team, an depth of squad is better than last season with real quality, fit fullbacks and better options in case of Willock and Chair absence.
Roberts will pull back into a 10 role which is automatically an improvement on Thomas being backup for that. You also have Albert who isn't covering wingback duties this season. Having Roberts there as a 2nd 10, would hopefully be sufficient to avoid the gang up on Chair situation that happened last season when Willock got injured.
So whilst Willock will be a massive loss for us and will impact on our results, I'm hopeful we wont see the same sort of implosion we did last season. | | | |

Not a truly fair comparison though as there have been lots of other changes to the team in the games he didn’t play to the ones we drew or won i.e.
Laird, Paal, Roberts and Balogun have all come to be starters in the team and/or grown into the championship (Paal for example).
Not saying he isn’t massively important, because he is, but we look very solid at the back now, have a lot of creativity coming from the full backs and all across the midfield. We also have options to step in for him (not as good obviously). Roberts or Amos can play his role (Roberts more directly than Amos who has a different skill set), Uncle could also potentially play there and Richards once match fit.
We could also go 3-5-2 with Chair off of Dykes or Roberts with 3 of Field/SJ/Amos/Dozell/Tim in the centre.
We have options and are far less of a 1 man team than back in Jan. | | | |

His stats suggest Richards plays deeper than Willock so I don't think he's an equivalent replacement. He has been spoken of as a ball carrier though so should contribute to forward play in that sense. | | | |

the absolute worst thing we can do is rush back willock if he's even remotely unfit
fortunately, there's an 8 day gap between Reading and the next fixture
this is an opportunity for someone to win a spot in the first team.. perhaps bonne now will make the bench as a sub on friday, as we'd likely play with 3 forwards in dykes, chair and roberts.... gives him a chance to potentially get 20 minutes to make an impact and fight his way back into the playing XI | | | |
