The point I made that caused this latest Max debate was that he proved himself to be more successful in the lone striker's role than either Walker or Gyokores. That statement has brought out the usual 'Biamou was crap' comments. I'll leave it there.

We've already been over the fact that they were fit to play and were fit enough to start, as on occasions they did. The fact they are here and Max isn't is a smokescreen trying to obscure the fact that Robins consistently picked someone who a group of 'experts' on here like to deride. I'll...

A bit of revision of history going on in order to fit people's pre ordained views it seems. Gyokores may not have played regularly for Swansea but he would have been training. Presumably he had his pre-season at either Brighton, Swansea or both. I don't remember hearing that he had any...

Still missing the crucial part of the discussion. Why did he regularly choose Biamou over the others?

The getting rid at the end of the season really doesn't explain why with a choice of Biamou, Walker Gyokores and sometimes Godden during a large chunk of last season, Robins often chose Max over the others, particularly in the lone strikers role. You state above that he was basically useless in...

That's not true. Biamou played when both Walker and Gyokores were fit and available. Robins still picked him. Both of these players were on the bench when Biamou was on the pitch.

And yet Robins frequently picked him when others were available. Genuine question, why?

I think Walker can be a good player for us, I just don't think that playing the lone striker role is how we will see him at his best. I've watched his three performances this season when he should be over his illness and getting towards full fitness and in his loan striker role, he hasn't...

I think with comments like your last one you have shown that any further discussion is pointless.

So, your reasoning for Robins selecting him when he was so poor is..........?

Whether he was given a new deal or not has nothing to do with the way Robins picked his team last season. When he had Walker,Gyokores and sometimes an admittedly only partially fit Godden, he more often than not opted for Biamou (who himself was carrying an injury). Now why would Robins...

He played him over three of the strikers our friend on here thinks are better lone strikers than Biamou. Strange he was played if he is the poorest.

Robins would obviously disagree as Biamou was probably the most used lone striker, certainly in the second half of the season.

I wouldn't be worried. In the games I have seen there has been a mix of players likely to start and those unlikely or even very unlikely to get many first team minutes. Add to this that from the 60 minute mark there have been several substitutions that have inevitably disrupted, even weakened...

He certainly worked hard but really had very little service and therefore didn't achieve a lot. Interesting that he has been played on his own up front against Seville, Cheltenham and Mansfield but Waghorn and Gyokores have been played as a pair. From last season and the friendlies we have...

No, a very posh petrol one,but he would still have to operate it.

Uninteresting Martin Crainie fact. Last week he bought a £900 lawnmower from Pearmans on Corley Moor.(I know this as I bought a lawnmower there today,cost considerably less than £900, and the guy in the store told me).

Walker shot on target first half?

I think he started away at Wycombe?

All a matter of opinion but I thought McFadz played well when he came on.
