Callum Gilhooley Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 Good feet and lots of confidence. Did look ready to come off when he did , hands on hips after 50 mins is never a good sign for a professional footballer , just needs more game time but could be a cracking player for us.

Buddymarvellous Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 I think Matty made a good contribution yesterday and when he gets fully fit he could become an essential part of our midfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TPAFKATS Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Tidy player who is comfortable with the ball as you'd expect coming through the man united academy.Seems to want a little longer on the ball than opposition will allow in Scotland. Think he'll soon learn to speed it up a wee bit.Should be a big player for us this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he was at the fakes for half of last season he should know he wont have time to linger on the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TediousTom Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) I see that some people (other forum user's) making statements such as "he did well" and "decent". I disagree. Big Matty was excellent, rare, gallus and fanf**kingtastic Really liked the big fellah, strong, tall and yet skilful. Well seen he has not been around Scottish football as a youth as we would surely have turned him into a centre half by now! Anyway really liked the big fellah, really liked him indeed!

Drew Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I thought he drifted in and out of the game, to be honest. I agree with the comments about him looking for too much time on the ball on occasion. This is something he can work on. He has only just joined up, so will no doubt settle in and gel more effectively in time, though it is clear that he is a gifted player. Learning to adapt is an underrated attribute in football players (as it is with all of us, to be fair). If Willock proves to be adaptable, he could be a very important player for us this season.

My take on it is that he needs games. Not sure what kind of preseason he had, or how many games he played before he came to us, but he looks like he is lacking a bit in fitness and sharpness. Even for all that, he looked very good in the first half, strong on the ball and deceptively quick with it, and found himself bursting forward on a couple of occasions but lacked the confidence to keep going. I would hope he will find that confidence, fitness and sharpness and have the impact that a lot of his early play suggests he can have.

Callum Gilhooley Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 He will improve as he gels with his team mates, he doesn’t look the most vocal out there which will improve with games. When you watch his show reels on YouTube he loves the long diagonal pass, once he has confidence there is someone to receive these we will have a real asset.

He obviously had something to be at Man Utd.... but a bit like Shankland when he was with us, badly needed to improve his fitness and attitude... professional football can be a well paid privilege and you need to enjoy it as fully as you can - it is a short career - so get the most from it while it lasts... Hope he does well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what Gillingham claim on their website, which also has this incredible line: "He was released by Manchester United earlier this summer, his career pathway only blocked by experienced first-teamers such as Paul Pogba, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard."
