old_eastender Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Putting aside the awful refereeing today, thought Semenyo did OK but needs to put himself about more, was having his best spell when taken off. For me need to persist with starting him because Fammy is not the answer (although unlucky to have his 'goal' ruled out today). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he will need to get goals too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77 punk Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 i can not see semenyo scoring in the championship so do we try and get a free agent or wait three months to january and possibly lose a lot of points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I thought his hold up play and awareness were both very good. Should have scored early on though. He needs that first goal to get some confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Main positive is scoring 3 away to a good team. Then again the away form isnt our problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Semenyo needs a goal. However was our best player for sixty minutes. They were poor at dead balls so LJ changed a few things. Very unlucky to be subbed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I remain unconvinced that he'll get the goals we need, at this moment is he any better than Taylor was ?. Look forward to being proved wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldlandReddies Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 He's getting close. Get the feeling the floodgates will open once he gets 1. Give him more time. The player is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmNick Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Thought he was alright, but nowhere near our best player - I feel like because he's young and we all want him to do well, some people aren't viewing him in an accurate light. Didn't think he got in to the game much in the first half... Was starting to improve in the second and had a good shot which Weimann then put in (disallowed) but not many more notable highlights. He still looks raw to me, and is expecting to have a bit more time to think or take on the ball than he has at this level. I'd still give him more games and time.

JoeAman08 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Keep in mind only his what? 3rd? Championship starts. He needs more games and starts. As for today I get he wasn’t great but you can see those moments from him. That is the big difference between league 2 and championship. He needs consistency for sure and he needs to learn how to find space in the box. Was really disappointed in his movement for that Weimann cross across the 6 yard box in first half. But then you see the natural ability to pick the ball up from deep, take a few dribbles and fire a shot from 30 yards with his weak foot that the keeper needs to parry. Personally, I am rotating all the forwards until January. Trying to find the right partnerships, who brings it more from the bench, who can give a consistent 60-90 minutes etc. Weimann, Fam, Semenyo and Watkins over the next couple months should be enough to keep us around the top 6. Can even throw O’Dowda in there. With Palmer behind any two we will create chances. I would then go in big in January for someone available. We don’t know who that may be right now but we need to be ready this time around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Rich Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Thought he was good today, unlucky not to stay on but I think LJ could see it was getting more and more physical. He tracked back well and his pressing uptop was good too, nothing to get overexcited about but solid and was better than last appearance. Needs to be given a chance and I would hope he keeps getting minutes either by starting or a relatively early sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the TV commentators were highly complementary and a bit underwhelmed he was taken off. I reckon it was right because they were very weak at dead balls but this kid has it.

He has proven he can score goals - albeit it at a lower level. Comparing their records at the same level it doesn't really make sense that AS is being persevered with while Eisa was sold without getting any real chance. Scoring goals is a talent in itself. One which Eisa has demonstrated he is more of a natural at then Semenyo. Maybe AS will prove to be an asset but I don't see any evidence he will score many goals. What we need and don't have is a natural finisher. Afobe looked like he would be that player for us, I can't see AS filling that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been interesting to see Eisa alongside Weimann in this system. Weimann working his socks off and Eisa getting in the right places to score goals. But to be fair he must have been no where near good enough in training for LJ to not play him. We were hardly scoring many last season, and we really struggled at home and really looked like we needed a goalscorer up top at times. He was pretty poor when I saw him for us. But main thing is what LJ sees in training. If Eisa can't link up well and do what LJ expects in a striker then fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 I think Semenyo played well today, but nothing exceptional I'd be surprised if anyone thought he's going to score 15+ goals though even if he starts every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
