It's funny how these debates go around.
Earlier this season there was a fairly impassioned debate about how the only important factor in a striker's performance was goals.
Now when one of our strikers has a handy scoring record per minutes played - it's not about goals any more.
Let's just get behind the lads and enjoy the run-in. As I see it all of the players who are featuring every week, both starting and off the bench are making real contributions to our promotion charge. Not sure why there is any debate at this time about our players not being good enough.
For what it's worth, Max has made an amazing adjustment from non League to L2 and now to L1. He certainly doesn't look out of place to me at this level. And if you factor in that very serious injury it's a brilliant feel good story for Max and for us.

'Cult heroes' often are players who were pretty ordinary in their ability but endeared themselves to the fans in one way or another. Biamou has done that by hitting screamers and taking selfies. Don't really see the gain in emphasising his lack of all round talent
I do believe goals per minute can be used as ive used them but it has to be used correctly.
The case between godden and Ponticelli would be an example of this

It's all about different opinions Evo and I respect your opinion. I just see Max as a striker who has different attributes to others with the ability to be a real game changer. He's proven this before. Just as our midfielders all contribute and pose different questions, Max has the ability to ask different questions of defences. His goal at Peterboro this season was outstanding as an example. We need game changers and in this team we're fortunate to have a number of players who can change games.
Thing is Max has scored 11 this season from 9 starts he is joint top scorer in this team.
Who knows how many more he would have got if he had been fit all season.

Ponticelli - goal every 106 minutes
I don’t but when people over blow his contribution it’s not a fair reflection is it
Not really as we would have won 3-2 without them over the 2 legs..
But I'm not arguing that tbh, his league form for us is extremely underwhelming since his arrival.
It's 8 in 59
Kevin Kyle often touted as being absolutely shite scored 5 in 50
Rubbish
But would we have won without his goal with started off the landslide.
So when you say class act it meant what?
I remember when some fans were calling for Ryan Haynes to be played left wing over Jacob Murphy.
This isn't an isolated incident
Homegrown players have had that effect on fans for ages just look at Ponti-though in Max's case it's because of the screamers and the selfies
Yes but he's only played 106 mins. Lol
Hardly a large enough sample size.
Few people are quiet tonight on hereThe bloke was playing Sunday league football in Paris a couple of years before joining us.
He could fire us into the Championship after helping fire us into League 1. Superb.
The oxford dictionary definition I suppose;
class act
- INFORMAL
a person or thing displaying impressive and stylish excellence.
G please my friend it’s coming close to the time I expect you to say “do you know what he’s certainly playing his part’ at least ???he must have played close to 700 he scored 6 goals
Max is better than Ponticelli, we can agree on that mate
Yup. Max basically had his own goal of the season contest in L2 and he's hit some more crackers in L1. His all round game and general talent is pretty ordinary but think you can see why he has the status he does
Not him then
A fitting summary
There are players I don’t really rate, I don’t feel the need to constantly slate them. I don’t get why you’d go out of your way to be negative about a player that’s just scored a goal on a day to send us joint top. Are you really that bored?
great song, but very ordinary player.Konjik is another cult player whose ability was below the adulation
