Billy

[Filo]

Outstanding today, my MoM, had Joe Wright on toast in that first half, special mention to Gibbo who got 10/10 for winding the Bradford fans up after they gave him shit

[PDX_Rover]

Masterclass today in dropping deep, hold up play, and go playing others in. And what a goal. And extra points for the chicken dance…

[grayx]

His best game for a long time. His first touch was top class today.

[donnyallday]

Fantastic .Early days but i don't fear anyone in this league .

[Bills view]

He’s been superb so far this season. Delighted he scored today, too.

Keep it up Billy.

[GazLaz]

Made Joe Wright look like he’d never put a pair of football boots on before.

[sedwardsdrfc]

Street did the same, in a different way, to their centre half last season. Do are happy to leave them 1v1 so I’m surprised they haven’t been caught out more by decent forwards

He really struggled today.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Sharp was playing games inside Wright's head today.  You could hear the words. "You're a decent player spadger, but I'm going to show you your limitations today."

[andyst79]

That was a masterclass by Sharp today ,one of the most complete centre forward performances I've seen in a Rovers shirt in a long time. His hold up play was immense long may it continue !

Street got sent off today by the way.

Billy is certainly making some people eat their words. Still has it.

He was my man of the match today.
Fab-u-lous darling.

The goal celebration was just right for some flapping Bantams!

[drfchound]

Brilliant goal celebration.
Gibbo gave it to their fans two after he scored.
I also loved the way Gibbo went behind the net and close to their fans after his cross was netted by Mols.

[RoversInSpain]

Immense today, the way he put his body between the ball and the big defender for his goal was genius. That and tracking back to defend, unbelievable work rate.

[tingleyrover]

That chicken celebration

Striker position whilst he's played isn't the issue I keep saying it. It's the number 10. Clifton wasn't bad today though.

Not a Clifton fan , but he's probably what was needed last 2 league games in local Derby's, pressing & harrying . If we are serious about progressing though we need better in that position come January

[MachoMadness]

Watching him chicken dance and peck the corner flag in front of their fans was almost better than the goal. Worth the price of a season ticket alone.

Clifton was good today although he fluffed both his two 1:1 chances. Still, at least he got in that position.

I am a Clifton fan.

Come from far away?

[Herbert Anchovy]

I watched the game yesterday with a mate of mine who’s much, much more knowledgeable about football that I’ll ever be having worked with West Ham & Spurs over the years.

He kept highlighting the work that Billy does without the ball. His movement that makes space for himself and his team mates, drawing defenders out of position. That type of talent comes from years of experience that he obviously has.

He must be a real handful to play against.

[CottyRover]

Bradford fans really don't like Billy, do they? Was walking alongside some of their fans on the way out of the ground, and one of them was saying that. He wasn't being aggressive and I just said "I think I have a different view on that." I don't think Billy worries too much about what opposing fans might think. Especially with that chicken

[graingrover]

He is the top  all time goalscorer in the English Football League .Now that deserves some form of acknowledgement surely !

[ncRover]

That would be me!

I hold my hands up. He's been quality in every game so far.

Hall of fame shithouse celebration.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

He is the top  all time goalscorer in the English Football League .Now that deserves some form of acknowledgement surely !

He now deserves his own Legends Banner at the back of the South Stand.

Maybe a new song. "You're Once, Twice, Three times a Legend. Oh Billy we love you..."

Perception is an interesting thing. Billy’s output numbers are pretty much all down on what he produced last season yet his start to the season has been lauded more than last season it fells like.
