Have you played football? These micro second reactions are total reflex, do you really think Billy, or any striker, with that sort of instant reaction strike, thinks. Oh hold on, I'll stop in my tracks and put it just wide of the keeper, not too wide mind, cos I'll get some tossers slagging me off for missing a sitter! Jeez, are sure you're actually supporting this team, don't rush with your answer, you may put it wide.
 
Two sitters missed by Billy in my eyes, I think he is showing his age a bit now. One of those games where I'm thinking in the last 30mins those missed chances are going to cost us, lucky for us on a couple of occasions Wigans final cross was inches too high for their forwards or we may have been looking at a loss.

How many has he scored this season in relation to the matches played, awful conversion rate I would say
But I accept we have few other options with the injuries we are carrying continually up front
 
Billy isn’t brought on or starts games to just score goals. That’s not his core value anymore. He’s got more to his game than that. His strike rate has deteriorated but other parts of his game are really valuable

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the criticism he gets. I couldn’t understand sometimes the absolute rimming that Didzy used to get for a 90 minute goalless showing. “Didzy is the best”. No, he can’t fucking score. But it’s about the all round game

Anyway. 2nd place. FA cup Semi. Keep smiling blades
 
Love Billy but he does have this knack of giving away unnecessary free kicks in bad areas of the pitch or at critical times. I just wish sometimes he would temper that bite he has.

He has been in the right place on a number of occasions and just hit his shot or header too well……..More of a scuff or glancing contact and he would have had another 3 in the last few games alone. I love that he is in the position to have the chance. He isn’t off the pace or lacking the mental edge. One off his backside will do nicely against Burnley and/or City……
