Yes Pidge, Sean did win that free kick in the perfect position for Shay to take a pot at goal....successfully again!
In defence of Billy Kee. I have to say that he is such a brave, hard working, skilful and committed player! He plays up front entirely on his own as Shay seems to have been given a ticket to roam and run at the opposing defenders from all sorts of positions but he does not really support Billy which makes it easier for the opposing big centre backs to give Billy some physical treatment. Billy just takes it, bounces back up and gets on with the game!
Going back a long time now Paul Mullin was superbly supported by Lutel James and for a couple of years they were unstoppable, albeit it at non league level. Billy does not have this sort of doubling up support in the current team playing pattern and I think that he does a superb job in taking the weight of other players around him. I don't think that he is tired but that he just gets a lot of stick with very little protection from referees!
Having said all that I would urge Shay to try to play much closer to Billy in order to get the flicks and passes that Billy wins and to take some weight off Billy too!
