Billy appreciation thread

[BushBlade]

Which begs the question why do we do it?

Do what?

 

[Sean Thornton]

Do what?

Knock it to Hanson to head on or down when there's no one near him.

 

[Esablade]

Don't let Esa see this claim. He'll hunt you down like a dog and bore you to death with Google.


Why does Billy play so wide off a target man? Is it Wilders tactics or do Hanson and Clarke have BO?

You'll never catch that whale (sorry, marlin..erm...maggot!?!?!?!?)
Anyhow, when's rent going up?

Safety. Less risky than building from the back. All we need now are the points. It really doesn't matter how we get them. That's my guess anyway.

 

[HolmesfieldBlade]

He does look conscious of the fact he's so close to 30. He need's to relax again and start playing.

That said, he's probably feeling the end of season nerves all of us are, as a Blade.

 

[BLADES1988]

I couldn't care less if billy never scores again he has given everything to get us out of this league.

He is our top scorer, our captain and most of all a blade.

Not bad for a fat lad.

Wonder whose idea that is?

I get it now !

It wasn't serving us so well just before we signed Hanson though. I'm all for entertaining football but CW isn't naive and won't sacrifice results at this stage in the season for pretty passing. Our players are under a huge amount of pressure right now, they have their own expectations and they know ours. That alone makes our style of play harder to implement. We can well do without conceding soft goals by losing possession in our half trying to play out from the back, which is far more likely when the players are nervous. They're human and will be affected by importance of last night and the next couple of games. They're genuine 'cup finals' - win and we're up.
Whether you like it or not is immaterial, it's working and it will get us promoted.

I appreciate that the hoof it to Hanson (and others before) brigade are more than a tad stubborn in their overall views of the world, but dismissing out of hand our progress from the bottom of the league to the top, with style, swagger arrogance and at times brilliant progressive football B4 James Hanson even pulled on a Blades shirt is, bluntly, hilarious.

We were Top when he arrived. We remain Top.

I do not subscribe to the theory we have remained top in no small part to a major contribution from Hanson. Far from it in fact.

Last 3 results before Hanson - Loss / Draw / Loss.

Since then unbeaten,

Tufty desperate to get him signed to play against Fleetwood but just didn't make it in time. He said afterwards that we needed him that day to provide an option when teams are sitting in and there is no space for us to go through or round them.

Does what it says on the can.

UTB - The Magic Is Back

3 games.

Sufficient data ???

I'll stick with the bottom at end of August to top b4 Hanson pulled on a shirt as a more meaningful sample.

UTB

Ps first 4 games aside, the Magic never went away so not sure how it's back all of a sudden. Or is that to do with Goldenballs impact as well ? Maybe we can get him credit once someone finds a cure for cancer !
