You are a poster that I usually agree with as I think on the whole you try to be fair.
I don't think you're doing that in this thread.

Since breaking his duck and scoring his first league goal against Swindon hes scored 20 in 51 games in all competitions. Not sure how that stacks up in terms of starts and subs.

The bloke is a complete and utter joke.

He said in December we won't finish top 8.

Yesterday in commentary, Oggy said that it had been his biggest weakness. This was said in the context of Oggy praising him for spotting that Pask (I think) was out of position and Biamou had sprinted 60 yards to cover him.

It’s the same argument regarding Burge

If we’d have invested in a decent keeper we’d have been promoted 3 years ago

if we’d invested in a decent striker to actually play in this system we’d be promoted by now

We haven’t

Explain?


Tell me how many times this season we have put a ball to a strikers foot in the box this season? Even better in the last 10 games in the league..

Now go back and watch Leon Clarkes Coventry goals.

Then come back and tow me how much you've heard it all
Click to expand...

Go back and watch Armstrong and McGoldrick, a lot of there goals they recieved the ball outside the box.

He needs to make better runs. We get loads of balls into the box.

I dont even think hes a bad player, but he still needs to offer more. Biamou often looks more like scoring that he does when he comes in.

I'll leave you to it

No he still said it’s the think Robins will still need him to improve on and it’s why he doesn’t start matches

Ok fair enough, but I haven't said I dislike max, I'm trying to be fair on Bakayoko more than anything in this thread.

I said a few pages earlier I like max and am grateful for his contribution

The fact that we sit 2nd in the league on GD. Today Yet we have folks dissing our strikers is a complete joke, especially one that came off the bench and scored the 2nd goal.

Unbelievable the stupid. Are they actually fans?

I watch him make the run in behind all game but we choose to go sideways, I watch it happen with max too.

In terms of the quality of chances creates (likely to lead to a goal) we are something like the 7th worst in the league.

Goes hand in hand with underperforming strikers then

Godden or Biamou if sold tomorrow - who would attract have biggest fee? Include Bakayoko as well if you like
Click to expand...
That's not the discussion. I think most City fans would say that an in form Godden is the better player. They would also say the Biamou has a positive contribution to make, can score goals at this level and is a reasonable player. It is the last part that you simply can't bring yourself to agree with. It's okay to say you were wrong.

I don't like this

I travel thousands of miles every season with this club.

I've missed 11 games in the last 5 years home and away.

I'm not dissing max I'm trying to put some balance on why supporters overhyped his contribution.

Again and final time.

I like max, I like baka, I like godden.

That's one every two and a half games even before you look at goals per minute. A good stat!

Well it is the discussion as he’s been claimed to be the best free transfer we have ever had, up there with 3 named premier league players and should start ahead of a 0.75m player

This season and last, we have had 5 or 6 attempts at finding the right striker, and laid out good money (apparently). One of the problems has been that we have changed our system.

We all have our own opinions, thought that’s what this forum was all about.
Put them 12 yards out with just the keeper to beat. If I had to put money on it I would go 1. Godden 2. Max 3. Baka
Some will agree some not. Each surely entitled to an opinion.
In the end it is only Robins opinion that counts.

You're picking out extreme comments that are at the other end of the spectrum from your own and are just as far off the mark.
Go on. admit it. At this level Max is a reasonable player, can score goals and makes a positive contribution.

FUCKIT

I’ll say it.

Robins (for being a striker as a player) doesn’t, for whatever reason* play a system (currently) that plays to a strikers benefit.

He concentrates on midfield (holding and advancement) and a solid defence. Which means we’ve probably conceded less than a lot of teams in the league (can’t be arsed to look).

Arguing amongst ourselves about strikers stats and selfies seems a bit fucking redundant when half the time, the system currently employed, leaves the fuckers running around for scraps.

*It’s working so I ain’t knocking it

I'm not in agreement with everything you're saying here but I haven't read any of it as dissing players just debating their attributes.

Ive said repeatedly the one area we have in the squad that is ooir is in the forward role and players like Clarke, Armstrong, Wilson and McGoldrick would have easily been on 20 league goals already and the only reason If we fail us because of this

Throwing my view in to the discussion late on.
Max is a very likeable character and that goes a long way with goodwill. I find myself rooting for him and I can't explain where that comes from logically.
I remember him coming over to the fans at Carlisle and getting abused nastily after a win.
Sometimes he looks like a pub player, other times he can take your breath away with something he does.
I want every Coventry player to do well but I have to admit that Max doing well means a bit more to me.

You're still addressing a different issue. What is being discussed is the merits or otherwise of Biamou.
