Not by the away fans they wouldn’t. At the Ricoh? More than likely.

Bar McNulty, we have a knack of trying to turn strikers into something they're not. Chaplin, JCH, two strikers who we've bought and not played to their strengths. Odd, really, given Robins as a striker, I remember as buzzing around, sharp in the box, but not the kind of player you'd expect to hold the ball up much!
Of course Robins isn't alone in that. Lee Hughes spent a lot of time chasing the ball wide, crossing it in to nobody because the penalty box poacher was now on the wing...
As an aside, here's an insight into how Biamou prefers the ball played on the deck, too! Google translate does make it a comedy read, at least...
Maxime Biamou : "Beaucoup de joueurs veulent venir ici car l'atmosphère est différente"
Encore en CFA il y a quatre ans, Maxime Biamou évolue désormais en League One, à Coventry où il fait trembler les filets adverses depuis plusieurs saisons.godsavethefoot.fr
That's a fantastic read, thanks. What he says about English football is exactly what all French fans tell me - the passion, the rigour, the numbers of fans, the drinking, the way we all support small clubs and so on. They really are in awe of English football.
Biamou seems like a very serious, likeable man, too!

He is
Our full backs are our wingers, however recently they are not pushing up far enough. Hopefully that was due to the quality of the opposition. If they start doing that we may create chances again.

"Ironically, the stadium was finally sold to the Wasps rugby club headquartered in London! This club has nothing to do with Coventry"
"The only positive point is that we play on a perfect lawn, while if we played at the Ricoh Arena, the lawn would be disgusting."
"Sutton had put me in a house with the assistant coach's ex-wife" - oo er
"In Coventry, it's even worse because the club is much larger. The fans are completely sick"

I know the answer is Heskey (to excuse his lack of goals) but I'm sure someone also intimated he'd been more of a success for us than Dublin because we never won anything with Dion...
