Good to see Barnsley doing better this season. It gives hope that clubs with the smaller budgets can compete, even if at the moment in the lower half of the table. This time last year, 12-13 games in you were bottom?

I went to the League Cup tie at Carrow Road the season we went down to the fourth division. Robins took over at the end of that season. I think Norwich were promoted back to the PL. We were soundly thumped 6-1 and it could have been more. Its a testimony to what Robins has achieved that 4 years...

I think that if he goes back to wing backs then Giles will start. The only game that I felt McCallum was found wanting a little was the Watford game in the second half and that was more his defensive frailties as the winger they had went past him a few times. We have been guilty of lots of...

Don’t want to be pernickety (but I am going to be). I think the Chelsea game was a league match. I remember standing at the West End but must have been near the front as we were absolutely drenched that night. As you say, we absolutely battered Chelsea but couldn’t score.

I was behind the goal at Chesterfield a few years ago when the players were warming up. On shot cleared the bar and headed towards me, just above head height. I put my hand up to stop it and the ball simply smashed my hand out of the way. Now being over 60 I am no doubt not as strong as I was...

A player I liked and one who we wrongly let go of was John Tudor. He was vying for a starting spot with Bobby Gould in the promotion season and didn’t really get much of a chance to show what he could do in the top division. Maybe Noel Cantwell didn’t rate him? In any case he went on to have a...

Chris Chilton was a centre forward bought by Noel Cantwell in the early 70s. He played most of his career for Hull and arrived at City and in the top flight quite late in his career. He didn't have the best of times with us and I think he was forced to retire through injury not to long after...

He hasn't been a regular starter since League Two. He missed the chance to do that when he damaged his cruciate ligaments in the third game of the first League One season. Interesting that he started in 2 of those 3 games and was in ahead of JCH. He had a whole year out which takes some coming...

You maybe right but I haven't seen the evidence for that. If you look at Biamou's goals against Peterborough, Swindon or Yeovil, I can't think of any goals that Godden or Bakayoko scored that compare. (Walker I don't know about). The nearest I can think of is Bakayoko's equaliser against...

The way that some posters write about him, I would genuinely wonder if they are actually pleased when Biamou scores for us. Do they cheer?

I may be moronic to think it, but I would have thought Max is one of the best strikers of the ball in the team. Who would you say is better?

So you think that a player getting on in the 80th minute of a game on a regular basis should have his goal stats analysed in the same way as a player who regularly starts? I don't think that that is fair. I do think that if Biamou had had more minutes on the pitch he would have scored more...

That really wasn't the point of the post you have replied too. However, there is a choice and you have just alluded to it. Robins could play Bakayoko. At the moment he seems to see Biamou as the better option. He could have played Walker. If Biamou is so dire, surely a player who is fit but...

Do you not see the irony in the way that you feel that JCH's goalscoring record should not be distorted by sub appearances (quite right too), but this is certainly not a luxury you would afford to Biamou. It's why goals per minute on the pitch is a much better indicator of performance.

So far on this thread we have had anyone who thinks that Biamou is any good being described as a moron. Biamou himself described as shit, League Two standard and a French C.( what has his nationality got to do with anything?) I wouldn’t really see any of these comments as being anything other...

So Biamou was shite against Reading? (seems that Hamer, Vibash and Cook would disagree with this) Shame that you can't overcome some built in prejudice to acknowledge when one of our players has done well.

But you can still watch them as part of your ST deal?

The only game that the ST wasn't valid for was the first home game, QPR. All the other home games ST holders have had access too.

I think they went from 4th to 1st then 1st to 4th in consecutive seasons.Some feat! We played them in the old Second Division as they were on the way down to the 3rd and we were gaining promotion to the first. We beat them 2-0 at Highfield Road, only the second game I had been to.
