Red white and red Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Rodri was pants and clearly a stop gap with no intention of signing him. I wouldn’t recall Taylor as he will just sit on the bench and get 7 minutes here and there to ‘put himself about’. waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aa_bcfc Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Would we have known had he not been here? Another LJ hit or miss? Let me think Fir half a second, bits a kiss for me. About 1/4 as effective as Matty Taylor but LJ knows best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely down to LJ hoping he would score and confirm that bringing him to Bristol was a good idea! The other side of the coin is Semenyo, bringing him on when the game is gone so he can say I told you so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prinny Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 There's that absolutely incredible bit of strength, balance, and hold up play that he did right before the Palmer pass to Brownhill which effectively won us that game.

Tipps69 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 31 minutes ago, Roe said: Maybe that was the intention but I think it's inexcusable. The squad was too big as it was. What, with all our in form strikers? Semenyo had had plenty of opportunities to impress, playing ahead of Diedhiou but failed to take his opportunity, Weimann never stays up top as a striker is expected to & that left who on the back of Afobe picking up a long term injury? Palmer to play out of position while people we constantly moaning about square pegs in round holes? Or that prolific U18’s / U23’s striker that we don’t seemingly have? Rodri came in on a short term contract on what I would assume was low wages to give us cover while offering a bit of experience, it was a low risk move. Semenyo has been linked with loan moves during this month, maybe the decision was taken to not put him into any first team action at the risk of damaging his already fragile confidence with the supporters already in an aggressive mood, so he was being protected? Like I said, maybe if Semenyo, Palmer or Szmodics had performed in training / U23 games they would of been given more chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those 2 points are the difference to us making the play-offs and ultimately getting promotion (yeah right!) then his contribution will have been a vital one (along with any other players who have helped us pick up points of course!)

Shtanley Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Stupid signing. We’ll never see the next Bryan or Reid able to make mistakes, grow then flourish if we keep signing these dumb squad fillers. Squad fillers for a squad that doesn’t need filling.

He had a hand in at least one goal with his hold up play . Had an unlucky goal disallowed for an offside by another player. He had two overhead shots saved . That’s just off the top of my head. He looked neat , quick and surprisingly strong for his size. To me he would have scored as many as Weimann or Famaral if he started as many as either of those two. He wasn’t here long enough to get settled but all this is my opinion. I am not a professional coach . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant work out while Rodri was signed? 'Kinell. The signing was a perfectly sensible one. It didnt work out as well as we'd have hoped or liked, but that's what happens sometimes in football. After the Afobe injury we needed an extra body as cover and outside of the transfer window the only options are free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will moan about anything. The guy was available immediately, and was brought in to provide short term cover, which is exactly what he did.

Notbarrymanc Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 2 hours ago, bearded_red said: I mean I’d think it was obvious why those minutes should have been given to a young lad who may become a first team player for the club in time rather than a bloke who was leaving in less than a month. But yeah you’re spot on with the second part. Well done. I mean, I’d think it was obvious why those minutes weren’t given to Semenyo. He needs to go out on loan. 10 minutes in a game that was a forgone conclusion could jeopardise his future development if it scuppers this loan, or dents his confidence even further.

Northern Red Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 No doubt if we'd given Semenyo or whoever a proper go instead of signing Rodri and they'd not looked up to it, that would have been LJ's fault too. We're at the stage where whatever decision is made is the wrong one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
