I doubt I was the only one at the time who thought.... why not Taylor why not Palmer who not Eliasson and keep Weimann central I even thought Lloyd Kelly (straight swap) before I thought Semenyo. Huge gamble. The red card will sway opinion, but I don’t think he’s quite up to Champ speed yet. Go and look at the Leeds game at home when he almost got a red card then also!

I thought it a bold, even reckless move, I would have brought on Walsh. Difficult as he wasn't on the bench I know. 1) I don't think Taylor is good enough, still not convinced a striker was the best option. 2) Of the choices, this would have been mine. 3) Wouldn't have been a bad shout, why Weimann is moved so often is strange. As for AS, the Leeds game was simply wrong. This may have been a case of point proving. I still think the Red was very harsh, specially in the context of the game, and the challenges that had gone before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt like an unnecessary gamble rather than a strategic decision. Fair enough bringing him on in an end of season game with nothing to play for, or as a last throw of the dice, but in a game of today’s magnitude it was not the right time when there were more obvious choices.

42nite Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 My opinion is that LJ might have spotted that Derby were doing a proffesional job on us and the ref. You can moan at the 4th official as much as you like, it's the ref that runs things. Semenyo was too inexperienced for a big game like this, and in trying to make up for a poor touch made it easy for the Derby players to react. Straight red, Job done! Matty Taylor would have made things difficult for Derby, Keogh in particular, I was surprised he didn't come on. My opinion is that you dropped a big one there Lee.

Red-Robbo Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 While I think the decision to play Semenyo so early in such a crucial game was rather weird, he hadn't embarrassed himself prior to being unfairly sent off. Personally, Palmer would've been my choice, but considering how well the team played, the OP is a tool for criticising Johnson in the way he has. Football can be a cruel game and today we just had zero luck come our way. I don't think the sub choice led to the loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of his pie crust Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 The mentality of some fans on here is truly bizarre.

Hmm, im not sure thrown away is the right words to use but I understand your sentiment. Last year we had a seriously depleted squad due to injuries and to be where we were at that time was incredible but unsustainable and I said as much at the time. It was inevitable we would drop off as we barely changed the first XI for months. This year was slightly different as we had a little bit more depth, but any team that has to sell their (arguably) 3 best players to balance the books is still going to find it tricky to succeed over the course of a full season. On a brighter note, we have complied with FFP over the last 3 year period. The next 3 years of FFP starts next season so that kind of gives us the financial freedom to be able to open the purse strings more than usual and I fully expect us to make a bigger go of promotion next year than in any time in the last 30 years. Its a bit of a cliché but the tortoise and hare story springs to mind with the way the club is being run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
