8 goals in 28 full games is the equivalent of 13 goals in all 46 matches. Not really that poor for a second striker. Not when the first striker's 27 goals would take the total for the two of them to 40 striker goals in total.
And that ignores the hold up skills, commitment and assists Max provided too. (You've guessed, he's one of my favourites!)
I think if you watched him carefully then you would see that many of the headers he won were to team mates not simply aimlessly nodded on. With regards to Robins playing him, I think he can easily justify this by the goals Biamou contributed by the end of the season. If he had been played in the under 23s would he have been able to produce the spectacular goals that he did or the MoM performance at Notts County in the play offs? I don’t think he would.My post straight after yours points out that Ponticelli played in quarter of the game Max did if you want to extend his stats to 46 as you have done he would have scored 30 .As for his hold up skills most of the time the ball was headed on in no particular direction hence only 5 assists all season ,commitment if any player does not show that they should not be in the team. I just think as i,ve said before he learnt his game in the first team not his fault
Think it was me sorryThought this thread was about the transfer of ryan heynes but as usual Grendel takes a post off at a tangent to suit his own agenda
Could be the salary of two playersI think Haynes should've been loaned out to a League 2 team for the season. Get them to pay his wages, if he became their starter and did well then we'd have known he could've been a suitable backup in L1. If not - then cut ties with him next summer. £50k - the rumoured fee - isn't that much in the grand scheme of things.
Arrrgh brought a tear to my eye reading that........Hope all of you who have slagged him off on here feel very very guilty now.
Na, not really. Just glad to be shot of a crap player.Arrrgh brought a tear to my eye reading that........Hope all of you who have slagged him off on here feel very very guilty now.
It was a tongue in cheek remarkNa, not really. Just glad to be shot of a crap player.
Why? Does writing that make him less shit?Arrrgh brought a tear to my eye reading that........Hope all of you who have slagged him off on here feel very very guilty now.
That’s lovejy
He was also asked to play as a deep defensive outlet for two thirds of the season in a team set up to play counter attacking football. When you see where he was winning headers it's on the edge of the centre circle to midway in the oppo's half and normally deeper than their backline. We didn't have a midfielder run beyond the strikers until Bayliss came into the team and with our 2 DMs who was he supposed to assist? You're never going to get many assists playing that role. Someone like Akinfenwa is playing on the last line of the defence and has 2 or 3 players running beyond him everytime the ball is launched in his direction.I think if you watched him carefully then you would see that many of the headers he won were to team mates not simply aimlessly nodded on.

Took me way too long to realise the Ryan Haynes thread had turned into another mass debate about the quality of Max Biamou.He was also asked to play as a deep defensive outlet for two thirds of the season in a team set up to play counter attacking football.

So should we it’s about time Nick binned this postGood luck to him, but it's time to move on for both club and player now.
'Lack' of quality, surely?Took me way too long to realise the Ryan Haynes thread had turned into another mass debate about the quality of Max Biamou.
Nah, I'm basing my whole opinion of last season only on the play offs. Therefore Max is one of the best strikers I've seen in sky blue ever.'Lack' of quality, surely?
mass debate? Sure your spelling is correct?Took me way too long to realise the Ryan Haynes thread had turned into another mass debate about the quality of Max Biamou.
So what you are saying I think is that Ryan Haynes is like a venereal disease...Ryan Haynes had his moment when he first broke into the first team, it quickly became apparent that he didn't have enough guile about him and was more than suspect for the odd costly error.
If we are to progress we have to move these types of players on, they simply don't have the necessary quality, the DKE twins have also gone for the same reason good luck to them in the future but they aren't our players anymore so I hope they play really crap against us and enjoy the rest of their careers.
Is that does or doses?So what you are saying I think is that Ryan Haynes is like a venereal disease...
Acceptable in very small does.
Doses obviously.Is that does or doses?
mass debate? Sure your spelling is correct?
I know some of us like him but that's taking it a bit far
Didn't do Al Capone any goodDoses obviously.
Thought his downfall was taxes not doses.Didn't do Al Capone any good
That was his downfall the clap was his demiseThought his downfall was taxes not doses.
Why? Does writing that make him less shit?
The post said we should feel guilty for slagging him off. I have no regrets at all. He was, and is, shite. I didnt fawn over him for being local, trying hard or for 1 decent thing he did in his career here. Im not being a dick im being truthful, something many on here cant deal withBy that logic Maddison can call us what he wants because he’s good.
Haynes is clearly a decent bloke who tried his best for the club.
Why be a dick about it?
