    Just checked on soccerbase (link below) This confirms Biamou startied 30 games and was a used sub in 27. His goals per minutes on the pitch, particularly second half of the season must be pretty good. Maxime Biamou | Football Stats | Coventry City | Age 28 | Soccer Base

    Been busy, need to check that Wikipedia got it right. As always if wrong, happy to apologise. I will use another source to check. His goals tally is certainly correct so maybe only half drivel if the 30 starts stat is wrong. Incidentally, it would be interesting to know your definition of a...

    Already pointed this out to him. Presume he is trying to say WBA u21 aren’t professional.

    Biamou scored 9 goals that season from 30 starts. I don’t know why cup and playoff games don’t count.

    Disbelieving person that I am, I just checked the stats and you are right, JCH did start the majority of those games. However, this does highlight that Biamou got the goals he did from a limited amount of time on the pitch. Significantly, he started the three most important games of the season...

    Wasn't he only here very briefly? Came from Italy?

    Transfer Rumour August Manager of the Month

    You would have to feel a bit sorry for the Wycombe manager (whose name escapes me) after getting a team with, probably, limited resources to the top of the league and not even be nominated. I don't believe in the curse stuff but after Robins got it last season, how long was the win less run?

    You need to look at how Max started that season and how he finished it. His improvement was tremendous. If you consider his performances after the Newport game when he regained his place from JCH his impact on the team and results was tremendous.

    He scored nine that season and played no where near 40 lots of 90 minutes.

    He wouldn't need to. He scored a variety in that fourth division season.

    Overhead kicks at Cheltenham and Notts County. His disallowed goal at Stevenage was a bit special too.

    How do you know he can’t play at this level when he hasn’t had a chance to prove himself yet. I can see why you might say he isn’t Premier League or even Championship level. To say so definitely that he is not good enough even to fulfill Bakayoko’s current role seems harsh. It is only one level...

    Rose, Mcfazdean, Hyam

    When it works it is great. I am not saying that we change but there are times that we seem to get bogged down and can’t seem to work the ball out. I felt that this was the case at Oxford where we were frequently losing the ball. On the other hand, there are times where the system works in a...

    Richard Stevens to West Brom?

    And playing for Ireland. On a side note, is Thomas back at Leicester? I haven’t heard of a loan for him but may have missed it. What a waste if he is stuck in the U23s.

    Would JCH have fitted in

    Now here we can agree and then disagree again. I thought McQuoid was a very poor player as it seems you do too from the comment above. He subsequently disappeared into non league football as far as I know. Where we will disagree again is that I think Biamou is a far better, more effective player...

    Would JCH have fitted in

    As we are talking facts it was three play off games. You also talk about headed goals. In the league two season I don’t think as a team we scored many headed goals as we tried to work the ball into McNulty’s feet. Off the top of my head (pardon the pun), I can only think of McNulty at Luton...

    Would JCH have fitted in

    Not now. Max has been out for over a year with his injury while JCH has gone on to fulfill the potential that he obviously had while he was here but so frequently failed to live up to. Hence why Biamou was preferred to him at the conclusion of the League Two season and the start of last by a...

    Would JCH have fitted in

    You stated he had never scored a first team headed goal. He has. It's like saying McNulty never scored 27 goals as some of them came against non-league teams in the FA Cup. It's not a question of whether I am happy or not, it is just saying that your fact is wrong. If you look at the clips of...
