Let him have his moment. Great goal, might be just what he needed. His confidence looked lifted immediately. Played really well today.

Agree. Needs another target man to challenge for the position.

Super goal today fittingly right out of big Cyrilles note book. Played well and hopefully now he’s broken his duck more will come. I know he’s missed a stack of chances but on a positive note atleast he’s been in position to miss them.
Took the great Ian Rush ages to net his first for Liverpool then the flood gates opened you never know.

As I’ve said before I love how much Biamou divides SBT but today I was delighted to see him get his goal at last, superb finish, what a way to break your drought! Another 14 or so of them before May please Biamou!

Have always liked Biamou - first time I saw him was Swindon away when he he caused them problems right from the whistle (and got into good scoring positions twice in the first 10mins).
I think our players appreciate what he brings to the team, but Stokes made some thinly veiled criticism of him after the Exeter game (and rightly so).
Glad we signed him, but we still need a more composed and ruthless striker alongside McNulty to guarantee a play off spot.

Clearly have a goldfish memories, we’ve had Yakubu, Nathan Clarke, Turnbull and Andre Wright, Dan Ageyi in the last twelve months, all were ‘worse’ footballers than Biamou.

That's the sort off stuff we don't get to see and probably a big reason he kept his place.

I remember where I was when I heard Kennedy had been assassinated (Edgewick Primary School car park), when Churchill died (in the kitchen of my parent’s home in Lydgate Road) and where I was when Coventry City won the FA Cup ( Wemberley!). I also remember when and where I got married!
Now I will always remember where I was when Max Biamou scored his first goal for the famous Sky Blues (row F seat 17 in the East Stand) Magic!!

Haha! Did you think that was a bit of a crap post guys? Perhaps a bit over dramatic? What I can tell you is that I can never remember where my car keys, wallet, glasses or mobile phone are, and I can never remember what I did the day before yesterday! PUSB!!!

Me neither, but I am very much hoping we can bag all three points in the game against Swindon coming up though.
Nah loved it mate. B-)

INTERVIEW: Max Biamou Talks First League Goal and Swindon Win
Seems quite an honest bloke, hopefully that goal will be a bit of weight off his shoulders and he will have a bit more confidence now.

I'm really happy for him that he scored a goal, but there is a bigger picture here. He needs to follow up on this one, not wait another half a season.
We need to get promoted and we probably need to hit the autos to do that. Playoffs are a lottery.
Let him have his moment, sure, but we desperately need another striker in for some competition in that position. Let's not let this gloss over the fact his goal scoring record has been atrocious. Hopefully he will kick on from here. We're coming up to the most important part of the season for sure now, so it would be a crucial time to either have him scoring more, or someone else doing that job if he isn't up to it.

That may account for his woeful finishing...perhaps he practices in the light now!!

Although a striker he is playing behind McNulty as the front man. The team are set up not to concede rather than score a hatful. His stock in trade are headed goals from crosses. Think only 1 goal has been scored like this all season.
Granted I think he has missed the odd chance but to expect any striker to score you have to make chances and we don’t.
Pretty pleased that most of our fans can see this and they were as chuffed for him as he was for himself on Saturday.
Even playing 4-4-2 genuinely would help. It will be interesting to see maguire-drew and Barrett both playing and getting crosses in to see if he has that in his game.

Said on another thread that how deep we sit as a team affects the role Biamou is being asked to play too for long periods of the game. A lot of the time he has to come very deep for our long balls with just McNulty running off him or even just to defend from the front. If you compare that to e.g. Wycombe and the way they play off Akinfenwa: he plays high or even on the last line, with multiple runners from midfield going beyond the defence into space. In our current set up it is really only McNulty who benefits, as Biamou has pulled a defender out the backline leaving gaps for McNulty to exploit. Biamou then has to make up 20 yards each time if he is to get into a scoring position. A totally different role to the one he played at Sutton. Yes, he missed half a dozen chances golden opportunities but now he's got his goal he deserves the chance to see if he can carry that on, as the goal was clearly a huge weight off his shoulders.
