He brought it down perfectly and turn of pace and finish, superb. Great pace wasn't it? Left both centre backs for dead.

Kibs Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 If we had another Semenyo on the other side, who could gain so much territory with ease, take opponents out of the game with his running, brush full backs aside, we’d be laughing. 2 years ago when he came on in a home game, I slaughtered him because he looked disinterested....but this season, he’s one of the few positives for me. He’ll go on to better things if his mentality is right. Strength, pace, touch. An absolute nightmare for defenders.

Not sure about cartoon comment - I do mean a Striker. They still exist although are current Strikers may have you confused you.... The main point was I don’t think he will score goals at this level (Championship). As of yet he has not scored 1. My opinion seems to have been unpopular with certain members of the forum and they are struggling to come to terms that I was right(up to now) Despite the ‘Fact’ that we all agree he is not a Striker and he has not netted a Championship goal this season it still seems difficult for people to except I was right (up to now) As for his position agree plays wide in a forward position and looks a decent player. But needs to add goals we can’t afford another COD 1 or 2 a season is not enough and if we are to improve we will need at least 6 a season as a minimum. The debate now is will he score at this level ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Better Red Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 4 hours ago, Davefevs said: Yep, and he’s more of a forward than a “goal scoring striker” at this fledgling part of his career. 82 appearances (41 starts) 9 goals, 10 assists. Mins 4316. Equiv of 48 full-90s. That’s the context, and that’s not too shabby for a guy who plays all across the line. Abd that’s not adding in his general contribution. A lot to look forward too. Hate to say it but 23 games and no goals this season does not help the argument... I notice 9 games last season and no goals as well but don’t think we should judge him on last season as not getting regular starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
