Yup, sounds like another Wes Morgan! :P
I thought the same Alf! Even when Wes left there were people still saying he wasnt good enough for us.

I think he has some development to go for sure but he is going to be one hell of a good player when he hits his prime.

People were saying similar about Ben Osborn who now plays in the prem. I will stick my neck out and say that Worrall has more chance of playing in the Prem than in League 1 or 2.

Joe hasnāt done much wrong this season, long may it continue.
Big fan of Joe. Much to improve on but he's progressing, loves the club and plays with passion. Happy with him being in the starting 11

Wes was much quicker than Joe, much stronger and more dominant in the air. Granted their passing ability is comparable. I hope Joe proves me wrong.

I think Joe is better than that ,how good Im not sure yet. He had a good if inconsistent season with Rangers, played in the Champions league and Old Firm matches and did well. I reckon he is pretty good in the air, the weakness I thought was that he occasionally gets caught out of position, whether that is down to lack of pace I dont know.
What is overlooked is his attitude and leadership abilities, he has this in spades for me and we desperately lack a leader figure in the squad apart from Dawson and Watson who are both at the end of their time. Wes was never the greatest defender but if a few more we have had down the years shared his commitment we would have been promoted long ago.

The one thing is lamouchi keeps talking about dominating the ball, that will be worrall's downfall, he constantly gives it away. I think this will see him drop out sooner rather than later.

Not when he was Joe's age he wasn't mate.
In L1 he was regularly slated for being slow, having the turning circle of a cruise liner, and being hit & miss in the air (although granted, few ever complained about his strength.).
Personally I think Joe's still got a long way to go, but he's got the foundation to be a top Champ/lower prem player.
As someone who was already the target of a rumoured 10m bid, I'm glad we're investing game time in him too.

Jamaal Lascalles was another who took some criticism, look at the lad now, a seasoned Premiership campaigner plus captain.
Joe Worrall has the same future ahead of him IMO.
