Premiership glory beckons. But it’s more fun singling out a cracking young lad with quite a few tools to be utilised, isn’t it?If only every other player on the list was held to this same level of play…..

He's shown glimpses.... Who could forget him looking up himself at Chaddy Foodcourt...I think one area we really need to look to bolster within our midfield stocks ever since JHF took flight is the petulant and selfish type who doesn't respond well under adversity, sulks, and gives away 50 metre penalties. We just don't have anything like that midfield archetype on our list. I wonder if WilPhil could develop that within his game.
I didn’t think asking/wanting Will to win more ball & deliver it inside 50 was all that much to ask.If only every other player on the list was held to this same level of play…..
He has received an incredibly consistent run at gaining form as well…being flitted between roles and teams every two weeks.Absolute perfect opportunity for Will to show he can do what Wardlaw can do . No tag just a pure manic pressure , ball winning, distributor midfielder against a team now loaded with some potential good ex premiership players . They are still down the bottom with us …. I know we say it every week but it’s now (this weekend & next vs Wet Toast or never) …
Also a great opportunity for us to finally decide on him once & for all. (If we haven’t decided already)
On Further North Josh said the word around town was that he’s been given a 2 year contract.
First I’ve heard of it & there’s nothing in this thread (although it’s hard to keep up since it’s - for some reason - the busiest thread on North BF).
He's named in the side and played last week.If Will can’t get a game this weekend with all our potential outs … he might as well pack his bags …
Lmao they are two different players. Nobody else on our team could match Wardlaw at his best, so why is WP being held accountable in your eyes?Absolute perfect opportunity for Will to show he can do what Wardlaw can do .

It was tongue in cheek.Sorry but this is an odd post. I find it difficult to validate selection in our senior side with auditioning for the opposition.
Lots of odd posts in this thread Merlin...Sorry but this is an odd post. I find it difficult to validate selection in our senior side with auditioning for the opposition.
Yeah, not really his style. HaThere was some BS Facebook post doing the rounds, I think it was posted in here too. I'm guessing it's that. Josh should probably have looked into it a bit further before spreading that info lol
Disagree. Will laid 3-4 tackles last weekend that would have made Glen Archer proud. He’s also a clearance player that can also cover George .Lmao they are two different players. Nobody else on our team could match Wardlaw at his best, so why is WP being held accountable in your eyes?

Let’s face it after the concussions George has not been himself & I think can more than cover him & not tag this week
Mmmmm Bop.Premiership glory beckons. But it’s more fun singling out a cracking young lad with quite a few tools to be utilised, isn’t it?
He’s had 2 concessions…Concussions?
He had 1, then copped a knock late last week.
What is this assessment matrix you speak of?He has received an incredibly consistent run at gaining form as well…being flitted between roles and teams every two weeks.
Why haven’t you turned into a superstar??!
I only wish the vultures on BF could apply the same assessment matrix to all our players as they did to Will.
In saying this, the reality is that he really needs to grab this opportunity or he may be out the door.
He’s had 2 concessions…
Hugh Greenwood got him at training & then delayed concussion symptoms after a knock last week
Phillips is a better midfielder than powellIdk, hes had better games than a few on our list like Powell (i like him BTW), Stephens etc
Yeh, I agree, George needs to harden the **** upConcussions?

He’s a covid kid. Needs another year.Some of his tackles were worth goals IMO
If he is allowed to become more offensive
Phillips is a better midfielder than powell
Don't agree based on current performances. Powell's numbers have steadily improved year on year.Phillips is a better midfielder than powell
