Mr Popodopolous Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Has come on leaps and bounds this season so far, really heartening to see and definitely not on current trajectory due for a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 1 hour ago, Prinny said: Very good signs again tonight. But it was against the league 2 play off winners so likely a bottom league 1 side if not the absolute worst. There's a fundamental difference in physical ability between top champ players and league 2 players. All positive on him tonight IMO, just let's see vs good players. Yep, despite lower league players being renowned for being more physical, they aren’t necessarily stronger. Next test for Antoine is to show this against Champ CBs....and Mings, Hause, Konsa etc 1 hour ago, MarcusX said: Trying not to get carried away, but looks a completely different player. Pace, Strength and composure Looks much more like the debutant at PNE in 18/19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I have watched him previously the last couple years he didn’t seem to that attacking nous or awareness. He would often make the wrong runs or be in the wrong place. Cracking start for the lad. I think Tinnion had it spot on when he said in commentary tonight that everything happened a bit too quick for him and it set him back - I think he was intimating that he came back here when he should have stayed with Newport. He said Semenyo is now back to as he was over a year ago. He looks extremely fit and his movement is very good, just needs to get his shots off a bit quicker and he'll be a huge asset this season. Looking forward to seeing more of him as the season goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzy Red Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Come of age Much more stronger and showed confidence Handful for any defence Lets hope it continues given a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sglosbcfc Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 He was really exciting tonight. I know he was playing against a League One defence, but that pace and power would trouble any defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will come with more game time tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastside Moonwalker Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Glad to hear he's playing better, thought he probably shouldn't have been in the team last year at all but seems like his football IQ has got better and he's bulked up a bit. Him and Bakinson could be ones to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 I'd always said that I didn't think he was a central striker (more a wide forward), but he's looked really good in the middle. I might have to rethink that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really does look like he might do. What a talent. Never any doubt about his amazing potential. Hopefully Semenyo's emergence will put necessary pressure on Wells to perform and they can fight it out for the shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always the possibility that young players who had been thrown in at the deep end too fast will develop and improve. This is why most of us support the policy of buying mostly young and developing players. It makes economic sense as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has, although his goals have been the kind of poacher finishes that we've lacked in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't thought that's he's looked the part so far at this level, but he has age on his side. Let's hope he keeps going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under LJ the system probably didn't suit him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semenyo seems to have clicked now- found another level, regaining the promise of 2 seasons ago, notably when we recalled him (too soon I thought at the time).
