I suppose I'm one of those people. But if you look at his stats all his career, he's a goalscoring midfielder, he scored a respectable 2 in 11 in the Championship 2 seasons ago, and last season in the Scottish Championship, scored 19 goals in 42. You look at his goal v Shrewsbury, the quality is...
I used to buy a programme for every game, but now I but it for as a memento for big games, so our Cup games at Spurs, Arsenal, Man U and Chelsea at home. If we got there, I'd get a programme for the playoff final too...
Looking at transfer budget purely in terms of transfer fees is flawed. Lets take this season for example, we signed free agents mainly from L1, and even signed Andreu from the Championship. I think we only paid nominal fees for Biamou and Davies. Yet, we signed 15+ players in total.
Imagining...
I think it'd be a merciful thing for us to relegate Morecambe. They were my local EFL team at uni, and they're not in a good place at all, and relegation, if not this season, I think is pretty inevitable they'll go down. They need to rebuild from non-league I feel.
Lets just do what we need to...
If we were to conveniently ‘ignore’ Biamou’s season up until Easter, sure, he looks like a world beater... The goal every 141m you cited is better than McNulty’s 145m per goal. But that’s a very selective use of evidence. If JCH had, what is quite obviously his goal, the Crewe goal accredited to...
Appears I've got mixed up with last season when we lost 3-1 to Swindon on 25/2/17 - genuine mix up.
If we compare them from JCH's first start, the picture is tilted even more in his favour. Biamou with 1 more goal and has either 1 or 2 assists to 4 (5 if we're crediting the OG as an assist, but...
It depends what our goals are next season, and that is obviously dependent on what league we're in. However, one area I think we need to strengthen regards of what level we're playing at is on the wings. We need another 1-2, most likely a natural right footer as a deputy to Jones (hopefully we...
Ok, but that still doesn't change the fact that Biamou has scored more goals off the bench than starting. He's started for 2 months straight when Bayliss came into the team. Yet, it still took him to the 25th Feb to open his league account, yet, Bayliss made his debut 16th December. Something...
Shame, I’ve been impressed with recruitment this year. Hopefully we get someone else in with who’s equally competent.
... Andy Thorn anyone? Hahahahahaha
We’ve just won 6-1, and Biamou got a goal. Evidently, he deserves to start the next game. Injuries permitting, the team should be unchanged. I think McDonald is better than Hyam, but I don’t think he deserves to be back in the matchday 18.
It’s also worth noting Biamou has scored more from the...
I agree he’s improved so much this season, so credit to him. But up until Easter, he was stuck on 1 goal for the season, roughly 30-35 games has past, with 3-4 assists.
If it’s unfair to compare the Biamou in his first games, but not JCH? JCH has only had about 12 starts, yet has still got 3...
How many appearances did it take for Biamou to score his first? 20-25? Whilst I’m happy for Biamou, just because he’s hit form at the end of the season, doesn’t really change the aforementioned fact.
If we’re comparing the two, JCH has the same amount of assists in a third of the amount of...
Well, JCH has got 2 assists directly to McNulty and McNulty has assisted JCH. That’s just off the top of my head. So I don’t buy into this idea that McNulty plays better alongside Biamou per se. At the very least, it isn’t fair to compare Biamou and McNulty over 30+ games to McNulty and JCH over...
Well, here's some stats for folks to consider:
(All competitions)
JCH: 17 games, 4 goals, 5 assists
Biamou: 45 games, 7 goals, 5 assists
Should be pretty self-evident, if you make a projection, in 45 games, JCH would probably on 10-12 goals.
Welcome to the forum pal, will look forward to either agreeing/disagreeing with you in future conversations.
How would you rate Mark Robins' performance as manager this season?
McNulty
Bayliss
Willis
Jones would be there for sure had he not been injured. I'm hoping that Shipley can lift his game another level, kicking on from his current form, I want to see him do well.
