It was really hard to believe Billy would miss that chance.

Great passes from Molyneux and Broadbent for the goals.

Who selects the passages of play to include in these highlights though?!

Why show that tame Peterborough first half attack but not their disallowed goal?

Why show Clifton's wild shot but not the terrific 2nd half save from Hanlan?

Honestly, mate, I didn't expect him to score. Billy missing sitters has become pretty regular this season.

Billy was battling to get clear of his marker all the way whilst being closed down by the onrushing keeper.  You would expect him to at least get the shot on target but it certainly wasn't a sitter.

It wasn’t a sitter, agreed, but he had a two yard start on the nearest defender.
He is normally really cool in those situations but it seemed that he had a two or three options on how he might take the chance and got his feet in a knot.
Very unlike him.
