I bet you liked Sean Flynn
Not true at all. He's playing to a similar standard but is now scoring goals.
He always worked hard and won headers. We're a far better side when he's in the team.
If people cannot see how better a player Max Biamou has become as the season has worn on, then they cannot know much about football at all.It's not the Coventry way at all. It's football. The same arguments will take place amongst the fans of all clubs.
Max did play well on occasion during the first part of the season, but he was clearly finding it difficult. I remember away at Barnet really feeling for the lad, because he was doing OK but it justing wasn't happening for him in the key moments.
In the end he found his feet, and what has emerged is a player that is not just full blooded, but who has ability. He has good technique, he is stong, good in the air, holds the ball up well; someone who is an asset at this level. Surprises me how some people couldn't see that, but hey, we're all shit armchair pundits at the end of the day.
Haha! I’m not so sure about that....My football judgement is sound thank you.
I have stuck up for Max Biamou from the first time I saw him, he had a quality in him that is more apparent the more he plays. He was playing for Sutton United last season ffs! Missed chances early on and took an age to get his first goal like a certain Ian Rush years ago at Liverpool, but has come good and will get better.If people cannot see how better a player Max Biamou has become as the season has worn on, then they cannot know much about football at all.
He looked raw when he first came in, but now looks a lot more accomplished, confident and understands his role in the team.
He has come on in leaps and bounds.
Goalkeepers are notoriously late developers, but of course those constantly slagging him on here are never wrong are they.
He's definitely changed his style. Earlier in the season he simply wasn't punching enough and it's clearly evident now that he is doing so on numerous occasions.I have stuck up for Max Biamou from the first time I saw him, he had a quality in him that is more apparent the more he plays.

With Grimmer and Haynes for that matter imo I think both would be better playing in front of the full backs but neither are useless.
Our goalie! Has improved immensely this season has around 20 clean sheets and made it into the pick of division 2 team. Goalkeepers are notoriously late developers, but of course those constantly slagging him on here are never wrong are they.

“Maddison is overrated and won’t cut it in the championship”
“Biamou is the worst forward I have ever seen play a sustained amount of games for Coventry”
Ok then mate

Statistically and goals per minute and the level we are playing at , he is one of the worst is he not ?
His recent form is good but won’t paper over a relatively poor season.
Like I said , get promoted nobody will care and I for one appreciate his contribution this late on
Biamou had a lot to learn when he first got into the team. You could see that he had potential though. Now a season later he has learned a lot. He is now getting goals as still showing the potential.I think In relation to biamou , we have pretty much gone 80% of a season without him getting in on the goals .
The negativity towards him especially 35 games In was more than justified .
He has however scored 6 in the last 10 games so naturally people will say I told you so .
But we needed goals from him earlier , the fact he took so long to find his stride cost us points .
We go up nobody cares
I’m more than happy with his recent form but let’s be real mcnulty with 28 goals gets far less praise on here than biamou with 9
He didn’t play well - STP is spot on - people like you would always support Biamou above players like John and Joachim because you mistake running and chasing for quality
It’s the coventry way
You can't polish a turd.It is interesting to see how some players have improved through the season & this has to be connected to how coachable they are .... whilst there are a couple of players,who despite being in the same environment have not moved on . In short there has been some good work by the coaching staff in some key areas.
I agree McNulty doesn’t get the credit he deserves. He is one of the main factors of us being in a chance to go up
JCH is a better footballer than max biamou and was starting to score , he doesn’t seem to respond well when being dropped and his performances have weakened since Robins first pulled him out .
The negativity towards him wasn’t justified as in many of the games he played, he played well. All that was missing was the goals. The work rate, the touch, the ability to pick a pass (Notts at home first game of the season, Luton away) were all there. He has looked a good player in most games he has played. Because like Burge and Haynes he is on the “can never do anything right list”, a lot of people chose to ignore what was happening on the pitch.I think In relation to biamou , we have pretty much gone 80% of a season without him getting in on the goals .

I disagree with this too. I have been disappointed with the performances of JCH. It would seem that Robins agrees otherwise he would never have left him out. I can’t think of one area in their respective games where JCH outshines Biamou. I hope we aren’t locked into a deal to take him next season as on the evidence of the past few months there would surely be better options out there.JCH is a better footballer than max biamou and was starting to score , he doesn’t seem to respond well when being dropped and his performances have weakened since Robins first pulled him out .
Could be really good at this level but needs somebody to work on his mentality with him.
Lee burge , doesn’t matter what I say fans will find a way to say he is unbelievable but the fact remains he’s cost us points and there is some serious work needed on hos commanding of his box and the basics of goalkeeping .
He’s a decent shot stopper but so is O’Brien , O’Brien was dropped very quickly and despite some serious errors from burge never got back in
Can never do anything right list? Come on, how long do we give Haynes? Shall we give him another 2 years to see if he can “maybe” step up to the plate? Haynes must have now played 100 or so games, whereas with Biamou it took him 25 or so games to get going and you can see the improvement. Can’t see I’ve seen an improvement in Haynes over the same period or you could say longer period.The negativity towards him wasn’t justified as in many of the games he played, he played well.

The problem is for those three players that some posters could never acknowledge when they have had a good game. There have been times this season when all three have played well but because they are who they are, this will never be recognised. For what it is worth, I don’t think that Haynes is the answer at left back (I am not sure that Stokes is either), Robins has given him a chance with a couple of extended runs in the team and he has failed to take them. It doesn’t mean that he or the other two can never have good games.Can never do anything right list? Come on, how long do we give Haynes?

I remember Dion Kelly Evans having a couple of good games once upon a time.The problem is for those three players that some posters could never acknowledge when they have had a good game.

Only remember him having one bad game, Accrington when he wasn't fit.I remember Dion Kelly Evans having a couple of good games once upon a time.

Paul telfer used to run around a lot and I couldn't stand himThe thing what links those 3 together is that their playing style would be described as laid back. Some football supporters tend to prefer players who just aimlessly chase the ball and then that means their a great player and can't be criticised because at least they give it their all. Andy Morrell and Stern John come to mind of players at opposite ends of the spectrum. Kelly's first 45 mins last night was the best CCFC performance from a midfielder I've seen for a long time, his contribution sometimes gets overlooked
This. Same with Hughes/Doyle, and Clingan to some extent.He didn’t play well - STP is spot on - people like you would always support Biamou above players like John and Joachim because you mistake running and chasing for quality

well saidThis is just so wrong.
The vast majority mention the mistakes made by Burge. And then you have his usually poor distribution. But I can't think of anyone who doesn't mention the good saves he makes. Some of them after one of the mistakes he makes.
Or are we not allowed to point out weak spots on players anymore?
Even the Exeter supporters are asking if we still have that dodgy keeper. And if you were at that game you would know why.
But whatever he does wrong there are people ready to defend him.
He fully gets my backing when on the pitch. But I shit myself every time the ball comes into our area. But he finally seems to be getting better.
