Same way you could say that if Mcnulty didn't score 2 in 14 at the start of that season we would have been promoted automatically. It's all if's, buts and maybes.

But at the same time we could have got automatic had he taken some of his gazillion chances In league 2 during the season
You’re obviously emotionally invested in him.
Yeah Hiwula…who was our top scorer 2018-2019.
Biamou was a reserve player in League 1 and wasn’t even our main striker in League 2.

25 goals in110 games or so ain’t bad is itNeither do his goals in the playoffs according to Grendel cus they are technically not in the league. Not sure why we are limiting our sample size to just League 2 also. He also contributed in League 1 in that Peterborough game, Ipswich draw, Bolton win, Southend Win, equaliser at Norwich, MOTM performance against Rotherham, Winner at Derby and goal at stoke. But the only relevant game is the newport one.
Let's be honest , his popularity came about due to his personality ..
He is amongst the Carl bakers in that regards , will we miss him as a footballer, absolutely not.
has he contributed yes , but in the same regard you can say the bizarre amount of sitters missed in league 2 helped make the season harder than it needed to be.
The same can be said about this season tbh .
He can head a ball , and he runs ..but his general all round play is currently below where we are at , and even arguably league 1.
Il place a bet with absolutely anybody on this board that wherever he goes he won't be scoring too many goals .
I'm genuinely glad this bizarre chapter is ending
I have never in my life known such an average footballer be adored so much

This is pretty much what I think most are saying. I don't think anyone has ever really said he's a brilliant footballer.
He's like because he gave it his all and was with the club in it's most successful period in 20 odd years.
.Edit.
Think the rating of him amongst fans is more than love or hate. Different levels:
Blind, besotted love. ‘Best since 2008’. Bollocks.
‘Currently best striker at the club.’ Hmm nah.
Appreciated for what he is. Not prolific, hard worker, part of the recent turnaround era. We need to upgrade and adapt though. I’m probably in that bracket.
‘Never liked him’
Grendel level obsessed hatred.
Walker or new signingWho gets the number 9 shirt
What this means is with Baka going too at least one newbie must be coming in perhaps two if Gyo isn’t one rather talk about that than Max,
It would actually be quite interesting (if he snags a move to L1 and plays regularly) to see how many he can score in a season. I’m not for one second saying he’d get 30 goals, just would be interested to see. What would your bet look like then? I’ll have a £20 for charity he scores more than 10 if he plays regularly (say 25 starts?), and not because I’m a fan boy, but because it would make for an interesting bet (and it’s for charidy mate).Let's be honest , his popularity came about due to his personality ..

You have to remember .
This is a fanbase that wanted to drop Jacob murphy (1st team Premier league player ) to push Ryan Haynes (league 2 newport ) forward and play him on the wing because murphy didn't work hard enough .

Think if he returns as an opponent and scores, I’ll stand up and applaud. Like with McSheffrey.
Well, like I said it wasn’t a challenge and I have very little confidence he will achieve it. So I’ll stick with £20 or not bother…25 starts in league 1 ... 10 goals ?
That would indicate roughly a 17 goal season.
Considering he scored 5 in league 2 in 40 odd games il double your bet to the charity of your choice
And this is the answerMeh. Just replace him with someone decent.
DealWell, like I said it wasn’t a challenge and I have very little confidence he will achieve it. So I’ll stick with £20 or not bother…
…wow, just wow.That famous 2018/19 season that we did what?
Armstrong scored far more goals in his season and is a far, far better player but we achieved nothing that season.
You are either missing my point or dislike Max so much you are desperate to shoot down any praise.

Like max thenMurphy finished his time with us poorly, as did Maddison.
Both Premier League players now, but at the time they weren't performing.
Like max then
OK fair enoughAye. Difference is, Murphy and Maddison have all the ability in the world.

You’re obviously upset and emotionally invested in him.Great answer as always.
Great player for us, should be remembered fondly for his contribution.
He did better than I expected this season and at one point he looked like he was really getting going, but missed a few big chances at key moments , and I think that was Robins’ mind made up.
Don’t understand the slandering, especially now he’s moving on. Always seemed proud to play for the club, and gave his all.
