Since sitters involve nothing more than being in the right place at the right time (that special strikers instinct, the Lineker effect some call it), the quality of the opposition matters not. The one example you cite is a freak. By that logic, almost every player in the world, all the greats alive and dead would fall into this category. Only last week or so, Carlos Tevez missed from about a half inch or there abouts, he'll never do it again and it doesn't make him a player incapable of scoring goals of any kind.

Massive fan of Benyon, fox in the box type player and I think he'll do wonders at Swindon and maybe as far as Championship football. But I think Billy has a bit more going for him. His all round game at 19/20 years of age is lightyears better than Elliot's at that age, like Elliot they've both been brought up well by good Championship clubs, but after being bit part, Billy is now playing regularly in LEague 2 whereas Elliot was very much bit part for 2 BSP seasons.

Some of the finishes that Billy has produced in the last couple of games have been seriously high quality and goals that I don't think Benyon would score, in particular the one at Barnet on his weaker foot.

As Billy gets fitter and learns the game over the next 12-18months I think we've got a serious star on our hands here. He's scored bucket loads of goals for Leicester reserves which suggests like Benyon he's got that natural instinct to be in the right place at the right time, I just think he's got a little bit more about him at this time.

One thing is for sure it's important Billy is signed up for the next 2-3 years because when he goes I imagine he'll go for 3 or 4 times more than Elliot did.

All the very best to Elliot, I think he's a cracking player but I think him going, Billy getting more gametime and the feeling of being the number 1 striker is the best thing that could have happened to us right now. He's thriving in the role.

Benyon was in the right place in the right time, and he put away those chances. Billy on the other hand is frustrating, was anyone there at herford at home, where he had an open goal and missed from 4 yards. Next game against Stockport, scores a scorcher. He scores screamers, but misses sitters. Kee will be a better player, but Benyon was a natural goalscorer, if anyone steps up as our No.1 goalscorer id expect it to be robinson or zebroski.

I agree that he will be better than Elliot, he is thriving in the lead striker role.
Would like him to stay with us for another couple of seasons, build up his value and help us with a promotion push when we're ready.
Plus he has a name that screams star.
