Billy

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

That would be me!

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

Hall of fame shithouse celebration.

I was exhausted after the 1st half yesterday, It had pretty much everything and like you say the celebration was amazing. Bradford must hate playing us as we seem to have the better of them of late. 2nd half wasn't as dramatic but Gibbo lit the torch paper casually walking behind the goal in front of the away end, the Bradford fan falling over giving it large was priceless. Cracking derby game.

He’s gone up a league and is still getting older. A lot of the lauding is as much surprise or admiration.

Yes, I agree. Obviously the durability playing Sat/Tues/Sat and the amount of minutes he has contributed plays into it as well. What contribution we get out of T or Hanlan is going to have a big impact on how our season goes.

Do we think those around him being better and playing better helps?  Ability wise he's still clearly the quickest of thought, but players like Molyneux, bailey have improved to play much more quickly and that to me is helping Billy in the same way it helped Copps with better players.

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

The top all time scorer in the EFL is Arthur Rowley with 433.
Billy is a long way back from that Grainge.

I think he’s top this century.?

He has put on record that he wants to get to 300.
