    I like Allen. I think he still has something to offer.He started last season in the team and looked off the pace. Since then, in the bits and pieces of games that he has played I think he has done okay.I think some people are too quick to write off players.

    We will be fine.

    When both were available, Kelly started more games.

    We will be fine.

    He is also always available, even in very tight situations. He provides an outlet ball to his team mates, helping them out of difficult areas. With this in mind, it’s not surprising that pass completion rate is lower than others. Fortunately players are not just judged on stats alone. The impact...

    You have just shown why Kelly is Captain and why Robins keeps picking him. He is a good leader and one of the reasons for this is that the other players respect his playing ability. As you say, if he couldn’t play to Championship standard, that respect would not be there.

    Disagree. I think he was our most influential performer in the games in which he played. You mention his performance second half of the season but I think he was instrumental in the vital, late season win at Rotherham for example.

    I was in the ticket office on Friday at about 2pm. I asked the lady behind the counter how many we had sold. At that stage it was about 19k. Great if they have shifted another 9k but does seem a bit doubtful. I would have thought maybe 22k will turn up?

    Season ticket update

    You can use it in the shop. I was there today sorting some tickets out, my mate bought a coat paying part of the cost with the voucher.

    We were 7 points clear of Rotherham with a game in hand. We were unbeaten in something like 16 games, had won perhaps 5 or 6 away games on the bounce, were scoring in every game and were conceding very few. We didn't win the league by default. We won it because we were the best team in that...

    The point I made that caused this latest Max debate was that he proved himself to be more successful in the lone striker's role than either Walker or Gyokores. That statement has brought out the usual 'Biamou was crap' comments. I'll leave it there.

    We've already been over the fact that they were fit to play and were fit enough to start, as on occasions they did. The fact they are here and Max isn't is a smokescreen trying to obscure the fact that Robins consistently picked someone who a group of 'experts' on here like to deride. I'll...

    A bit of revision of history going on in order to fit people's pre ordained views it seems. Gyokores may not have played regularly for Swansea but he would have been training. Presumably he had his pre-season at either Brighton, Swansea or both. I don't remember hearing that he had any...

    Still missing the crucial part of the discussion. Why did he regularly choose Biamou over the others?

    Match Thread Mansfield Match Thread

    The getting rid at the end of the season really doesn't explain why with a choice of Biamou, Walker Gyokores and sometimes Godden during a large chunk of last season, Robins often chose Max over the others, particularly in the lone strikers role. You state above that he was basically useless in...

    That's not true. Biamou played when both Walker and Gyokores were fit and available. Robins still picked him. Both of these players were on the bench when Biamou was on the pitch.

    And yet Robins frequently picked him when others were available. Genuine question, why?
