Yea Andi and Fam should be a decent pairing but on limited chances they have been poor together. Semenyo I see a similar style to Matty Taylor actually. He surprises me with his ability on the ball and holding it up but don’t see any real natural ability inside the penalty area. Speaking of Taylor thought he and Fam had some moments in a pairing like Stoke in the cup. So do feel like Fam and Semenyo could be ok with Semenyo much more athletic than MT. Feels like with Afobe out(still not sure if he is) we don’t have any natural partnerships left. Then lone striker formations Fam has limitations and despite what many think of Weimann I am sure he would not thrive in the role. He may get on the end of 1-2 through balls but he isn’t much quicker than Fam in all honesty and he does not hold the ball up well. It is a shame our strikers have been a conundrum these past couple seasons because our midfield and defence has been good enough for promotion.

Weren't Andi and Fam up top together for his hattrick at Sheff Utd? Know Fam set him up for his 3rd anyway. Feel like they're the perfect pairing, we just need COD and Eliasson on the pitch together whenever Fam is playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Exile Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 I can't help feeling that the club is making a point by failing to respond to an unsourced story circulating on social media - they don't have to respond to it, and they're seemingly not going to do so. I can understand that. Now that approach works if the story is wrong, the people fearing the worst - us - will be delighted it was all nonsense and it will soon be forgotten. We might even admire the club for rising above such things. On the other hand if the story is true then the people fearing the worst will have it confirmed at the last moment, as we take the field in an important match, and perhaps the mood will sour. If its bad news I've always thought it best to get it out there as quickly as reasonably possible and let people come to terms with it, however disappointing.

It is a shame our strikers have been a conundrum these past couple seasons because our midfield and defence has been good enough for promotion. When I watched Semenyo in the U23s , because of his strength and impressive ability to turn players and then burst into the space it almost looked like he preferred to be pretty static and invite a defender , and on occasions two , up tight behind him so that he could then use his strength and skill against them He was extremely impressive in that game doing exactly that and then ghosting past players I just think that’s not so easy to do at Championship level and , finding space something he maybe needs to work on , but a talent no doubt He also scored in that game with an absolute rocket from just inside the area so difficult to judge him as a finisher per se Tbh Joe Id look at KP behind AW or AS behind AW in a 4-4-1-1 , if not immediately I do think FD hinders our overall play and cohesiveness, but his goals make him difficult to just cast aside I also have a nagging wonder about what NE would do in a 10 role but that’s not really our obvious problem in terms of options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
