If Billy had scored from his first chance then I would have equalled it in awe to his wonder goal against Middlesbrough

He doesn’t need pace, he never has. He’s a natural goal scorer that instinctively puts himself in the right positions. That finish was class yesterday and he reacted far quicker than anyone else. He could be the difference in the right games this season

I don’t think he could believe he’d missed it by his reaction.  It was a marker!

It was a surprising miss, but that's because of how good he is.

The best Rovers striker since King Alick.

He should be crowned King Billy.
One omission there Bentley have you forgotten Laurie.

I think Billy has a few seasons left with us including being a player/coach like Nigel Clough at Burton.

Sheffield was a great player and warranted being called King Laurie. Trouble is, Alick was the king then, so I suppose having two kings in the team would have somewhat diluted the honour.

I noticed he ran ( whether by design or coincidence ) to roughly the same spot as he paid his tribute to son after the Boro goal

I noticed that. Back then I used to sit at that end and he paid his tribute right in front of us.

It won’t work that way. Over the 55+ games this season they will rotate. That keeps them both fresh.

I don’t know the guy but I feel like Joe is someone who needs to feel secure and appreciated. His form dipped last year as soon as Biamou came in. He was then absolutely superb again once Max got injured.

He doesn’t have that natural ability that Billy has but he got 20 league goals last year and he’s also a big physical presence who links the play well to allow the goal scoring wide players to flourish. He gets through a lot of hard work for the team.

Obviously Billy is a legend and was always going to get a big reception but I will feel for Joe if that continues every time he comes off for him. I think if he feels the love from the fans he will stay confident.

Joe knows he is loved here. I think all the players will know the bond we have with Billy. Billy will always be a blade but he also knows he's loved here and I'm happy to be second best in his heart.

Joe was the star man all last season even when we struggled. A top player who gives his all.

It would be interesting to see if GM would ever play them together. Imagine that…

It will happen at some point and it will be interesting to see the dynamic between the two. Perhaps if we're chasing the game? Maybe needing a winner at Goodison Park?

Molyneux, Ironside...Shaaaaaarrrrrp!

And Gibson
All 4 on pitch at same time. That could happen. Gibson is going to be a massive player for us also this season. Seen enough already to know that.

Best front 4 we have had for a long time. Probably since Copps, Brown, Painter & Cotterill in 2012/13 season. We also had Hulme that season.
Wilks Marquis and Rowe in 2018/19 but we didn’t have a 4th player really as Alfie May wasn’t the player then with us that he became later after leaving.

In 2018/19, Tommy Rowe was in and out of the team that season and largely played in midfield, Copps would have played a lot more than him. I don’t remember either being prolific, though.

In 2012/13 Copps missed half the season as he was at Forest, I imagine that Kyle Bennett would have played more than he did in that team.

The last time I saw us as having goal scoring potential from so many different players was probably when we got promoted from League Two - Marquis obviously the main man but Williams, Copps, Rowe all chipped in and Mandeville had a bit of a purple patch where he scored a few.
