Worrall left his boyhood club in a similar scenario to get first team football. It would make no sense for him to want to stay.

It hasn't worked out for him here so it's probably the right time to let him go.

Once Humphreys and Tuanzebe are fit, there’ll be no place on the bench for Worrall.
I was surprised to see how big Tuanzebe is. He is some sized unit.

Spoken to a few Mackems this week, (I live near the training ground), they are now starting to see what I meant before the season started when I told them they were doing what we did 2 years ago. It feels so exciting, but you really need experience, that's what Dyche relied on more than anything and it WORKED!
They also commented how much bigger we were as a team than them, another thing we lacked last time.

I'm not so sure we'd be able to shift Worrall; he'll be on a packet. Only a handful of interested clubs would be able to pay his wages.
Would depend how much he wants to play i suppose. Would be a decent signing for somebody like Birmingham.

Wrexham and Phil Parkinson feels like a better fit.

If he sets off now....he might just make it out the door before the window closes! :D

Delcroix leaving rather than Worrall please. Worrall is the best we have in the air and the only CB likely to pose an attacking threat at corners.

… or defending a threat at set pieces - I’m pretty sure ManU will use McGuire on Saturday ( let alone the Arsenal party-piece later this year).

If we were down to the bare bones and had to pick between Delcroix and Worrall, I'd 100 percent go with Delcroix.

There is no way we are planning to let Worral leave. He was made captain last night and he had an excellent performance, much better than when he played against Preston. He will definitely by the main cover.

He cost us a goal with a woeful piece of anticipation and defending

Joe Worrall was very good (esp at leeds) until injured. Has done a job when he has needed to come on and is the only centre half we have that has played regularly in a side that stayed in the premier league. That experience is priceless. He had one bad game at Preston in the cup (when many others did too) and hes allegedly not good enough, worse than delcroix etc.

That goal started with whoever (pires or humphreys i cant remember) got rolled with ease on the half way line.


Anyway no idea on the French lad whatsoever. Seems strange to be chasing a young unproven centre half

I thought it was a bit of good skill by the Derby attacker..

I thought it was poor defending overall for their goal. Not just down to one player.

I disagree , he was already marking a player and another Derby player who wasn’t marked and was already running at pace was able to nip in front of him.

Diving in like that was ridiculous and came from him not reading the game.
