Do you think Johnson chooses whether to play Willis without advice for medics and consultation with the player ? That bit is absolute bollocks
I think Johnson has taken a gamble with Willis absolutely. I doubt you would have had a situation where the medics would say 'no you cant play him because he will definitely be crocked if you do' but his policy of playing him every game is certainly different to what the club were doing earlier in the season with the same medics. What we do know for a fact is:
Willis has had a big problem with his patella. The club acknowledged this early season and were going to try and manage him.
The club have decided to manage the problem rather than operate.
He comes off early in the Plymouth game with pain in that area but immediately plays the next game
He is selected to play in every game twice a week including the pizza cup games
All this during a period where pitches are heavy and shit
Eventually he completely fucks his patella
