Whizz cites striker as Wonderboys key player
Billy Whizz has stated his belief that the fitness of Luke Groves has helped his team launch a remarkable promotion push into Division 4.
The 30 year old has been at Shitters Palace since Season 19, scoring 86 goals for the Wonderboys in exactly 150 appearances. Despite early season fitness worries, the striker has returned to his best form, with 12 goals this season, in just 14 games, in addition to 2 assists.
"Luke Grove has been an ace striker for several seasons now" said Whizz in the Team of the Season interview, "If you look at his goalscoring and productivity this season, it has been sensational. It's not until he returns from injury you realise how much a quality striker was missed, and how much they add to your team."
The Wonderboys have amassed an incredible 22 points out of a possible 24 in their last 8 games, and Whizz is eager for his side to push on, as the closing stages of the season approach:
"[Tactics] might change later, but at the minute the aim is to keep going, and build a lead in top place"
BWW blog can also confirm that Whizz has called off a deal for Chris Webber, the MK Dons right midfielder. Webber, 21 had been eyed as a replacement for the retiring Maurice Meredith, and a fee had been agreed with MK Dons, yet Whizz will chance his arm on the Transfer List, in the hope of a cheaper price.
The Wonderboys face esaf at Shitters Palace tomorrow night.
