What the Antoine has happened to Semenyo? From Drogba II to Bas Savage II in the space of a few months

[Davefevs]

Highlight of half “forward you c - - -“ from the wall fan!

Wells on at ht please , semenyo is so out of form

He didn't know much about it but what a fantastic block!

He lifted his leg up to divert it, he saw it pretty damn quick to react, I mean his reaction time was quicker than most there.

Are you sore about something? It's ******* 0-0

Sore about all the poor performances mate. We are a shadow of the team we were earlier in the season.  Glad you are content though 

[AppyDAZE]

Sounds like a great block from Rob "you know you can trust him" Atkinson.

HT 0-0  

Forget the maoning,  that'll do for now.

He wasn't in form prior to the World Cup either. I swear his ball control is getting worse and the more he loses control of the ball the more his head goes down.

[petehinton]

Don’t feel comfy going into the second half tbh. It’s set up for a 1-0 either way and I don’t really see how we score based on that unless Wells comes on

Head turned most likely. Or he was never that good and had a purple patch of form

It did, he lifted it up to make connection which pushed it up into the bar.

Much better all round, apart from Antoine. Keep it up lads

Thought that was Nige

[cityexile]

Matched them for effort,  not always the case when we have been away at sides like this. Got 1-0 from a set piece written all over it, but deservedly level. Got to find a way to get some results out of matches like this.

Suppose you'll know better than anyone Bas

[Ska Junkie]

Not the most exciting half of football but we're still in it I suppose.

[DaveF]

I'd rather turn the TV off than watch Downsy's half time nonsense. 

[Lew-T]

Semenyo is there but his head isn’t. Wells on soon if this carries on into the second half!

Overall, it’s been pretty dour as I expected.

[City_USA]

Pleased to have kept a clean sheet thus far in what must be a very nervy game for Nige and the boys. 

[Slack Bladder]

I think Semenyo is just luring them into a false sense of security and will hit them in the second half when they let their guard down

It's all about getting something tonight.

I'm not watching, I admit, I'm listening,  but considering everybody was writing us off before,  it doesn't seem thast bad to me.

0-0 and let's see if we can improve on that.

[marcofisher]

Not sure why everyone is slating Semenyo, out of form and some bad touches but is finding some space and getting involved. Conway is neither playing well or getting involved. Get Wells on alongside Semenyo to link up the play IMO.

Delighted? You’ve turned into a proper troll recently!  If you are being genuine then it’s sad to see how Pearson has lowered expectations that you can be delighted with this.  Can barely string 5 passes together 

Put me on ignore if you don’t understand the expectations of a struggling side away from home at a place like the Den.

Delighted to be going in 0-0 without too many scares.  Players will gain a bit of confidence from that.  Hope they use it second half.

As for being a troll, far from it, just disagree with some of the negativity you post on the MDT most games.

 

 

[M.D]

A lot better, I thought Matty James was good, Semenyo maybe needs to go back to Forest Green for a bit..

George Tanner looked ok but faded, Alex showed a bit.

Alex Scott has been my pick of the City team. Just need to show a bit more quality and we can take this.

I suppose we expect Antoine to do what he can, and we know he can, do?

[Midlands Robin]

City slightly the better of the sides in the first half. Millwall seem to have turned up for an all in wrestling match instead of a football one. 

When we zip the ball around on the deck Millwall have had to resort to fouling to break our play up. 

Semenyo clearly lacks a bit of sharpness but we aren't too far away from scoring. 

[Lanterne Rouge]

Next Sky question: How do you get it to full screen and not have the table running down one side?

Nothing positive to report I'm afraid but so long as the NP plan is coming along, we don't need to worry.

I'm delighted too. 

Matched them for effort and physical effort too.

Not been bullied off the bull.

Created a few decent chances. 

This 1st half we've seen a decent hard working Nigel Pearson side

I post negatively if it’s deserved.  I can accept bad games but not a string of bad games with no ambition to pass the ball.  We are a shadow of our former selves. Not everyone has completely lowered any expectation and had any ambition knocked out of them 

[sh1t_ref_again]

Good overall half, Semenyo OK but some loose control, Tanner struggling at time against their winger

And they`re from the arse end of nowhere so I doubt Joey`s been to watch them........................

[1960maaan]

Being positive

Foul on Semenyo should have been a booking.
Could have been a Pen on Semenyo.
Atkinson good block.
We looked reasonably balanced.
Weimann been more involved and made some good runs.
Conway's pace could test their CBs.

Being negative

Semenyo looks powderpuff
His first touch is appalling 
The Ref isn't going to give us a Pen.

Ok half, get the passing going again and they look nervy. Semenyo has to get in the game or Nige needs to get Wells on early.

True but I’d much rather see him trying things and it not come off than hide. I don’t see any lack of effort from him, just some poor touches which is expected as he has not been a starter for a while. Needs a run of games to play himself into form imo. Conway has been a starter every week but has been below par in the last 2 and a half games now.

Surely gotta be happy with that half?

Ideally would like the ball to stick up top a little more, but a decent half all round ( though our two most saleable assets haven't had the brightest of games so far)

Semenyo form has been abysmal since he was called up prior to the World Cup . His first touch is on fams level at the moment . All team look very low on confidence . With 5 subs available , Semenyo would be hooked for wells at half time. 
goes to show there’s nothing in this league & to be honest it’s the poorest I’ve seen for a few years . Millwall are up there near the play offs . Sheff Utd , Stoke both shite against us & games we should of won 

[Fammyfan]

Promising first half, a point at Millwall would be a positive result in the current circumstances, great to have Rob back

100%.

Much better in many respects.

 

 

[Hocca]

Okay first half but the ball is just bouncing off Weimann Conway and Semenyo.

Antoine in particular a shadow of himself last season just can’t sort his feet out at all.

Not much in attack so far but City have limited Millwall to only a couple of chances, so there's hope. Bring on Wells for Semenyo. At least he can control the ball

Now understand what folks were saying about bringing menu up - simply didn’t appear during first half.

Once it did followed advice given on here,and now ready for a Conway hatrick in second half!
