‘Get him in the squad’, ‘Quality’ – Some West Brom fans rave about U23s ace in 4-2 win
West Brom fans have been raving about Chris Willock after the on-loan attacker scored twice in the Under-23s’ 4-2 win against Reading on Monday night.
Willock, 21, joined Albion on a season-long loan from Benfica in the summer but is yet to even make one of Slaven Bilic’s matchday squads in the Championship.
He was on the bench at Charlton on Sunday as the Baggies won 1-0 in the third round of the FA Cup but it does seem as though it is going to a massive struggle for the young attacker to get much game-time between now and the end of the season.
However if he is going to keep playing the way he has been playing in Premier League 2 for the Under-23s then there is no way that Bilic can continue to ignore him.
Willock scored two good goals at Aggborough on Monday and also supplied an assist for one of Rayhaan Tulloch’s goals.
He has now scored six goals and supplied six assists in 11 appearances in Premier League 2.
These West Brom fans have been full of praise for the never-before-seen attacker and some even want to see him promoted to the first-team as soon as possible.
