Very nice article about Joe in the Athletic yesterday, nothing we don’t already know but titled “Why every club needs a Joe Worrall” basically we all know he isn’t the blessed with the finest talent but he more than makes up for it in his character which he uses to bring extra out of his teammates too.
I think many criticise his game without considering his wider effect on the team as a whole. With that in mind the article reminded us of the magical interview he gave way back in 2016 after a 0-2 home defeat to Wolves. It was the Montanier darkest days and a 19 year old Worrall told it how it was that many of the team to paraphrase didn’t give a shit. Possibly not the wisest thing to say at an interview and it didn’t go down well in the club but he was young and he meant it and as fans we all thought he was correct.
Anyway a leader even back then as he is now. Not for a second suggesting he has to read the riot act these days but great to know we have him and indeed Yates bringing a new squad together.
