GrahamC Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Not good, as he’s integral both to how we play & also because we don’t have a “like for like” replacement. Opportunity for Nakhi though, as I can’t see any logic in changing Weimann’s position to react to this, he’s far more effective behind a front two than as part of one. Moves Tommy Conway a place up the pecking order as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 He used his last injury lay off to improve. Came back a different player and had a great 6 months. I'm sure he'll do the same this time and give us a huge boost when he's back in the autumn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Dam shame we needed him hitting the ground running. Need as many points as possible even without the possibility of a points deduction. If a club offer the right money he’s gone regardless. Hopefully he’s still with us and back with us sooner. FFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingswoodactor Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Article mentions that they could possible reduce this 12 weeks down if things go well. Let's say it's 9-10 weeks before being back on the training pitch, that would be around wk beg 22 August. Could possibly see him in 1st team squad (all going well) by early September. Maybe missed 5 or 6 matches which isn't ideal but far from a disaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means he won’t be up to top form until October really. That will be around a quarter of the season before he is at his best. He’ll likely miss 5-7 games to start.

redpole Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I heard this last week, I’m looking on the bright side, I think it will give the opportunity for Scott to play in the hole behind Martin and Weimann and really give him some freedom on the pitch to express himself with James and Williams in behind him. we know that Nige likes to play 2 up top and his favourite 2 anchors in midfield is James and Williams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad blit Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I was resigned to losing Semenyo this summer, and it was the best time to sell as he would have 2 years left on contact (once they activate 1yr add on) - but now either we potentially sell in Jan window, which is a notoriously bad window to replace him with, or he’s sold next summer when he has 1yr contract left and he sold for much less than he could have been sold this summer. All in all not the best preparation for us either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivorguy Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 These things happen in football and therefore can be dealt with, especially as we haven’t even entered pre season, ie 1 time to sign a forward or a loan to Xmas 2 time to adjust tactics and team selection 3 time to give Bell, Conway a real chance to shine.Else why did we keep them? 4 time to use existing player in a forward position, eg Scott Trust in Nige. He has been here many times before and is not the sort of manager, imo, not to have Plans B to D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgy Red Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Semenyo is the only player we have with genuine pace and power and to be without him for any period of time will be hard. I still think we've got quite a bit of business to sort out (both ins and outs) and Nige may be looking to bring in another forward. The first 4 or 5 months of last season without Semenyo were pretty poor and i do think the few positive performances/results at the end have raised expectations. If Nige gets us near the top half next season he will have done well in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love your optimism Dave but without Semenyo, the squad (as it stands) lacks offensive power. Whilst i really hope Weimann can replicate last season, his history tells us he won't, especially as I believe Semenyo was the catalyst for many of his goals last season. The Champ looks (on paper) a pretty average league next year and there will be a few surprise teams that make the play offs. I truly hope we massively improve, but i still think Nige will have done really well if he gets us in to the top half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Wells, Martin, Weimann, Scott (plus maybe Sykes) lack power (I take it you mean power as in goalscoring power rather than physical power per se?). I don’t call it optimism, it’s just reflecting back on my thoughts over a period of months about the lack of balance we had last season…plus I don’t think Nige really wanted to play a back three either.

Completely agree Dave, it's all about opinions, but for me we do miss so much without Semenyo in the side. Like i mentioned, Weimann had an outstanding goalscoring season last year which he hadn't produced in his career previously, but much of that was down to Semenyo and his running power which allowed us to play more in the final third. Maybe Nige is planning a change in formation, or a more positive approach, but i stick by my prediction that a top half finish would be a big over achievement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take solace from the team that evolved over last pre-season to the team that moved to 9th in the table after 8 games (12pts), that looked solid, if not exactly exciting….without Semenyo, but Scott not at RWB but in a midfield role or off Martin, Joe Williams in a team with James, Atkinson looking an assured signing, etc, etc. Add Naismith and Wilson…plus Sykes who I’m trusting of the recruitment team…etc etc. I’m not one who watches to see end to end stuff. I saw us grinding stuff out in those early weeks, I quite liked it. Injuries then hit, first Williams and King…Baker for a bit, then James too at various points. I shan’t be making predictions until I see our squad and 23 others around the end of July…plus witness our pre-season! I’d rather Semenyo wasn’t injured, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not like he will be out all season either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medicals look at potential long term injuries more than short term There is a potential "2nd pre season" this year with the World Cup coming up. It will depend on whether he gets fit enough prior to that to be included in the Ghanian squad. If he goes to the WC, training in the Qatar heat would also help to get up to speed. Hopefully we get him back fully fit for post WC part of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
