I’m entitled to my opinion. He was awful at times and robins himself has called it out.

Nothing to make up. You chatted shit, I called it out. Turned out I was right. Let's move on accepting I was right.
Good shout. Your right we are entitled to an opinion that’s what the games about. We all get it right and we all get it wrong. But bringing up posters id’s from 1 year ago....
Oh don’t be like that I like you really...

I wasnt a fan of Baka when he arrived and still not convinced he will make it in championship. We did see glimpses though last season to indicate there is a decent player in there. A few times he had 10minute spells when he was almost unplayable...just wish he could produce over 90mins or even 60 would be good. Can’t see him as anything other than a bit part player next season.

Jordy will easily get a club-probably Swindon. Junior Brown back at Shrews , all rest doubt whether they’ll get a league club. Which is a shit shame as most Cov lads that have been with the club since they were 10. Wakefield & Aliasiani (whatevs) has their chance but just weren’t good enough.

Very true. It will be good business for any league one team that gets Jordy.

Loads of clubs look at data/stats now so probably largely come up with similar targets. I guess his data must look good somehow.
For me it shows why actual scouting is still so important to look beyond that. Not knocking Baka but he sure doesn't play the way you'd expect someone of his size and stature to.

I really cannot comprehend why we have have took on the option, he hardly made league 1 defenders quake in their boots and now he is possibly going to be facing better defenders in the championship, looks like Max is being kept as well

Agreed, I'm genuinely stunned that we've kept a player on, when he clearly didnt cut it in league 1.
If we are keeping Biamou, we definitely dont need Baka, personally I'd have taken a punt on another striker. Although it's possible that MR is thinking of getting some money in by selling him.
By keeping Baka on it suggests to me that Biamou might not stay. Personally I would keep Max over Baka because he produces moments of magic. Can't see us gambling on both being championship quality.

Robins seems to see something in him, and is obviously hedging his bets on unlocking his potential.
I’m not going to read too much into this, but he performed quite well v Birmingham (A), so he may be of use to us.
Final point, we need a bigger squad in the Championship, and having Baka as a 3rd/4th choice isn’t the end of the world. This will be his last year to impress though.

Godden and Max appear to be ahead of him this year, which already means he is 3rd. We will sign another striker and likely to get one in on loan as well, that will make him 5th choice for one space. Even if we only sign 1 he will be 4th.
100% trust MR, just seems a little odd.
Yeah saw the too. Seems like the event matured him. Hope he still manages to get a footballing career.

I think what people get wrong about baka is that they think he should be a target man due to his physique. In my opinion with his pace and power he's better playing off the shoulder evidenced by his goals against Sunderland and Peterborough last season, and Blues this year. Defo worth keeping on a season, we'll need back up all over the pitch and he's low risk in terms of wages.

I am not sure Baka is behind Max like some have stated incorrectly he has certainly started some games ahead of Max under MR.
Whatsmore Baka and Max looked pretty decent together as a front two at Peterboro away,
I think he has been part of the core squad that have done so well this year and has shown good attitude and strong backbone giving flak he has unfairly taken worth a punt I think and happy that Mark Robins feels the same way.
