Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3629918, member: 9853"] Guess this is my cue. Same as I've been saying like a stuck record since preseason 2023: Billy won't be dropped unless the team is down to one wheel and he's the last player to take the fall. His old man has put himself in this position. He has to dig himself out of it. I disagree about how "good" he was last year. He was an underdog who outperformed expectations to the point where he went from underrated to bizarrely overrated. He was fine in that gun team when it was firing on all cylinders. We didn't need any vision from dummy half, and Billy delivered enough to feed those guns. Hard truth was he was only ever good for 20 minutes, and occasionally he looked very good within those 20 minutes. This year is no different, but he's been given some longer stints. When he's played more minutes, like yesterday, those occasional flashes of better than average have been outnumbered by the stench of mediocrity. The even harder truth is no matter how better than average he can look in a 20 minute spell, 20 minutes is not enough from any player, let alone the one who handles the ball the most. This is his father's problem now. But back to yesterday's match, Billy did look pretty ordinary, but our less ordinary hooker (in my firm opinion) didn't reverse our descent into the maelstrom of shit. We didn't lose that game because of Billy. [/QUOTE]
