Does Rudkin get credit for this?

Thing is he wasn't our 1st choice, if we'd signed Soule then no Bilal

Cue Spurtz bid tomorrow for £25 million and Maddison on loan for the remainder of the season 

Nah he wouldn’t go to a bunch of serial bottlers who are still complaining 9 years on about being 3rd in a 2 horse race and £25m wouldn’t pay for his left boot !😂😂

Just oozes class even when doing the simple things

 

We have a player

 

 

it's funny that the way he does his run-ups, the tippy-toes and the arms movements are very CR7-like. Very interesting is that he seems to have the ability to dribble well, but that's not been unleashed.

Slight quirk of Facundo not playing regularly is that Bilal is now and it’s done  him some good.

Satisfying finish. Like a long snooker shot that doesn't even kiss the sides on the way in.

[OntarioFox]

Loves those low to the ground finishes from a way out, becoming a bit of a signature for him

[davieG]

[ajthefox]

The finish is so measured, he knew it was in the second he hit it.

If we stay up, Fatawu comes back on form and we recruit reasonably well in the summer with the 21-22 abomination of a summer behind us in terms of PSR, there's no reason why we can't push on a bit.

 

Add N'Didi in the mix and who knows.

Sky comms at the time said he knew what he was doing, in that he was using the central defender as a marker to flight the ball past the keeper.

 

Outstanding.

Let's not get too used to him, we'll be watching Kasey McAteer at Ewood Park in a few months time.

It's remarkable how quickly fortunes can change. People have said that Forest are light years ahead of us, but they were us this time last year. Hampered by Cooperball and poor signings for half of the season, PSR concerns, scattergun recruitment, an insane chairman and a new manager who took quite some time to get them firing. 

[Jacob7839]

Have we got a chant for him yet?

[LinekersLugs]

Only issue is his energy seems to  dip massively from 60mins 

 

once he builds stamina he will be utterly class 

 

to stay up we need a couple of players to really catch fire

He’s too good to not have a proper song. Can get something for him to the Bella ciao tune:

 

Super Billy

Scores for city 

and his name is El Khannous 

 

Mahrez's old Zombie nation chant works well for him

 

"it's El Khannous"

Foxestalk is hilarious. So apparently we’re the worst run club in the world and Bilal is the new Maradona! 

 

I do like him though, and I’m pleased he’s ingratiated himself with the fans. 
 

What’s most pleasing is how he’s looked slightly better each week, like he’s continually adapting and learning.

We deal strictly in extremes here!

 

We have Dai Yongge with better PR in the director's box (we don't, but we do have a chairman who cares deeply about the club but is far too attached to the people his dad trusted.)

 

Our local rivals are on the verge of becoming the greatest club team in world football (they're not, but they'll probably get some form of European football next season. Most likely Conference League)

 

We're the worst team in the Premier League right now (we're not, but ourselves, Ipswich and Wolves are basically three brain cells fighting for fourth place.) 

[Ric Flair]

To think he only had about 4 goals in best part of 100 games for Genk, it's only a matter of time before this piece of work is double figures for goals and assists season after season.

 

He really is the Mark Draper of 1994/95. Let's hope the outcome of that season isn't the same and he's off to pastures new in the summer as he's literally the only bright spark of the season since Facundo's early promise. 

 

What a player.

More Mahrez than Maddison I reckon 

He is more industrious than Mahrez but I see what you mean. Mahrez’  touch and ability to create are still a notch above. That said Bilal is getting better game by game so we haven’t seen his ceiling yet. 

[brookfox]

Really hope we get to see him and Fatawu play a decent number of games together, could be really exciting.

[Dickov22]

Reminds me of Muzzy 

[SystonFox]

Remember him being pony at Walsall. Like a competition winner. I never wanted to see him play again. How wrong I was!

[Nolucklcfc]

Just a reminder  … cooper hardly played him.

To be fair, he started him quite early in the season but he clearly needed a bit of time. What we are seeing now is off the charts unbelievable.
