Doesn’t fit the narrative anymore 😉.

The previous 99 goals mere footprints in the sand to be washed away with the tide !!

That explain it for ya ??

Absolutely chuffed for him!

That said, I'd be happy if he hung up his boots after today and finished on a high as an absolute club legend (he could always be an emergency if needed due to injuries).

I could see him being a really useful coach / mentor for the strikers - particularly with the young lads like Brewster, Hackford, Burke, McBurnie and Mousset. He could build a legacy of a really talented and exciting set of talent if we can get them confident and firing!

Why would he hang up his boots?
The contracts have been questioned but we have a young, inexperienced but talented forward line, all of whom need guidance from someone they’ll look up to. Whatever happens this season, and let’s not get carried away with one result it’s highly likely to end in relegation, but we’re going to need someone to be amongst those players for them to talk and listen to. That added to the fact he would still be a strong sub to bring on in the championship as shown yesterday.
While I think we shouldn’t be looking to him to start games or even always be in the squad if we drop to 5 on the bench, he’s got an incredibly important role to play in this squad next season too.
 
Was the perfect situation for him 2nd half, they were too deep for Burke and we needed guile, won it and scored it. Well done Billy.
Perfect football punditry
Although when Wilder made the subs I thought leave it alone.
Did what he had to do , sweating when he made that tackle!
100 goals 🍾
 
Even when we go back to 7 subs, he has to be one of them every time (unless he’s on the pitch) for me. His influence cannot be underestimated.

He’ll have loved scoring that last night - he knows his idol Shearer would’ve been watching.

He would be one of the higher earners wouldn't he?
At the very least he would be earning more than most.

I guess he could be used like Kevin Phillips was at the end of his career, but it's money that probably should be spent elsewhere, especially when cutting the cloth after relegation.
 
I'm glad everybody thought this all along.
 
Don't get the talk about Billy hanging his boots up. He's still a devastating finisher and puts himself about loads. Always causing issues for opposition.

He might be a bit older but I'd still put him in the squad any day.

And as others have mentioned before, our younger strikers will learn loads from him.

I don't think we're a million miles apart in terms of what we're saying. Absolutely agree he would be an asset to keep around to help coach and mentor the young strikers coming through. I also don't have a problem using him in an emergency. He's a legend and I'm glad he got to bring up his ton with a win. I just think we should be looking to the future and we have great options up top for that.

Maybe so but if they all had been on the field last night with Billy who would you have picked to take that penalty ?
