Think we need more than a chicken to be fairOh we've had plenty. John Gayle. Darius Henderson, Folivi, Kyle, Manset, I think we could create a 50 page thread on dreadful strikers, it's the one thing the club are good at.
I do think he should have put a few chances away from the games I've watched him play which is all home and some of his away games but I do think that similar to Rosario years ago, the team was better with him and the assists and work rate allowed Nuddy and Quinn to be prolific. To be fair, the chances are falling to McNulty from Biamou work.
Also, it's League 2, if we find a prolific 20+ youngster hen it will be a Christmas miracle.

Well a few will be laying eggs if he don't score soon.
Should he of scored a league goal now, the answer is yes. He's a a handful of very good chances. The bottom line and telling stat is he ain't.
Too many are viewing his performances with tunnel vision tho and not looking at his overall game play, and what work he's doing for the team by winning balls and holding/linking play up keeping the ball in the attacking half to open chances for others and rather be beating him with the no goal stick. Without all that we'd be on the back foot constantly as the huge gap in midfield we're the opposition would win the ball and simply come straight back at us.
Yes we all want our strikers to be scoring, plenty at that but it's not like we made a huge investment of 300-400k on him and he came with a cv glittered with goals.
Im sure to the flack of many, I'm gonna be bold and say I'm still backing him to come good and start scoring.... in 2018
Yep. His name is CC4L.What? Your wife has a cock?
Yesterday he won hardly any headers failed to hold the ball up or create anything meaningful. He’s not quick enough to run a channel of strong enough to work defenders.
His overall game yesterday was well below what’s required.
Nazon did one thing - it created a goal.
Looked like he might have got the touch on Bayliss’sshot that took it past the keeper
Can he claim it?
This is league 2, he's not gonna be blessed with pace, power and goals. If he did he'd not be here.
He didn't win as many headers yesterday but I don't think many L2 target man would against 6'5" defenders.
Yes Nazon put the excellent pass on but that is the only thing he did and offered when he came on. He also made the team lose any shape with his lack of effort again in the closing stages
If he hadn't of played the pass for McNulty he'd of done less than Yakubu did when he pulled up injured in him famous moment and his popularity would be diminishing fast here.
Had his shirt pulled once had a paddy that the foul wasn't given and played with his socks for 15 minutes. Failed to see McNulty screaming for the ball again on the edge of the box too.
Right at the end he pulled a ball back from the byline to Nazon who did not even go for it.It’s sad all I have said two months ago is true , a waste of a good shirt , there is still hope though but running about is not enough , we are not on a position to carry passengers
Robins is obviously aware of any ongoing situation and will have surely made allowances for such eventuality in his January dealings.You can't question Biamou's efforts, he tries extremely hard and puts - mostly his head - on the line for the benefit of the team. I appreciate he is jumping up a league but it's been nearly 6 months since his arrival and he's scored one goal all season. I'm afraid he's clearly not the right fit for League 2.
Having a striker that can't score is a serious issue as I'm starting to doubt whether Nazon will sign. I hear reports that Wolves want a fee for his loan which we currently can't pay. So once again this is a worry if Biamou is in fact leading the line for the second half of the season.
I admire your optimism, but flogging a dead horse springs to mind here.Well a few will be laying eggs if he don't score soon.

If he knows Nazon isn't staying he will surely have someone else lined up.

Coventry City seems to have had an above average amount of ‘hard working strikers’ that can’t score.
As I said on the Jan Transfer window thread:
“I’m fed up of strikers that ‘work the defenders’ and ‘run the channels’ but can’t fucking score.
Lee Mills, Andy Morrell, Robbie Simpson, Leon McKenzie, Clive Platt, John Stead, Freddie Sears, Marcus Tudgay, Darius Henderson, Stuart Beavon and now Biamou - for the last 10 years we’ve had to put up with ‘hard working strikers’ that can’t score more than 4 goals a season. Enough is enough. Every future striker we sign should have a clause in their contract that says if you haven’t scored 5 goals by January then your contract is torn up. Strikers are there to score goals otherwise you might as well just sling a centre back upfront.”
Would love to know how many goals all of the strikers mentioned have scored career to date...in all competitions, put together, it can’t be any more than 30 goals!
Maybe and I see what many say and appreciate there views. He needs goals to his game but I see enough in his overall game to warrant sticking with, goals is all that's lacking all be it a big aspect we measure a striker by.
I do think however if he'd 5+ goals we'd be worrying about a bid this January for him as everyone in L1 and L2 wants a strong target man who feeds others wins balls links up play and scores.
No it isn't as simple as that. It's ridiculously simplistic considering the way we play is heavily reliant on a target man.People can dress it up as much as they like but his job is to score goals. It’s as simple as that. The boys simply not good enough at pro level. We know it and Robins will as well.

No one is disputing he needs to score or start scoring or should have scored.You can say what you like about Biamou, what he does or dosnt offer the team etc etc, but one fact is indisputable, No team with him leading the front line is going to achieve promotion.
So the real question should be, what league do we want to be playing in next season? If the answer is league 1, then a new centre forward is needed in January.
Even a blind squirrel will find a nut one day!No one is disputing he needs to score or start scoring or should have scored.
Hopefully he has 2 or 3 goals before the new year. Here’s hoping.

In other words .... failing as a striker then.He didnt score bit he was vital in lead up to 1st goal. Imo ehen he stops contributing to the team performsnce is when its timr to worry.
Right now hes performing aswell as a striker can without scoring.
In other words .... failing as a striker then.
It is as simple as that.... he’s there to score not fluff it up with a little belt pass here and there. He’s a forward paid to score goals. Either he does it or he goes.No it isn't as simple as that. It's ridiculously simplistic considering the way we play is heavily reliant on a target man.
