Sent off for my season ticket last thursday, as early as I could.

JR's book on order so......I think it only fair JR reciprocates & buys King Billy for us. The best striker I've seen in a Rovers shirt since I witnessed King Alick's final season at Belle Vue 1968-69.

He's eligible to play but Sean won't play him, my opinion, he'll play Woods in the role of JET & shove Hayter further forward

Who is on \"King Billy\" to finish Championship top scorer and what price did you get?. He is now as low as 3/1.

Who would of thought at the beginning of the season the leading striker in the Championship would be a Rovers player, so far anyway.

The smart money would obviously have gone on Heffernan with his prolific goal scoring record and all that!

i love thinking about stuff like that, so i'll add...

who would have thought at the beginning of the season that:

- we would have 8 out of the top 20 players in the championship according to the sky sports expert

- we would do the double over the owls

- we would destroy bristol city in their own back yard

- we would actually develop an link with arsenal!

good times people, good times.

Given that only Ebankes-Blake had a better scoring record than Heffernan for the second half of last season, you may have spoken a word of sense for once.

Still wating for those \"at least half a dozen strikers\" Savvy.

Isn't \"Sky Sports Expert\" an oxymoron?

Look at Beagrie's predictions for this season in the Championship:

Promotion contenders included Ipswich, QPR, Reading, Sheff Weds, Preston.

Mid table wallers were to be Forest, Watford and Coventry.

Rovers, Barnsley and Blackpool were all going to struggle.

Some expert.

down near the bottom, it must be done weekly as we now only have 7 instead of 8 in the top 20.
