Here’s the one against Swindon and, as a bonus, you’ve got Roger Malone commentating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 57 minutes ago, JonDolman said: Agree. I don't get it. We were never that good back then at what is now championship level, but junior was always a handful for the opposition. I remember Bent, Liam Robinson and Allison being a very effective front 3. Plenty of pace and movement and work rate from Robinson and Junior. Plenty of power from Allison. I expect many fans would say 2 of those were terrible and Allison was a donkey. Yet at a level above players who have had a lot of praise, (Colin Cramb, Scott Wagstaff for example) some who could be a right handful at that higher level are sometimes talked about as being rubbish. If only Liam Robinson could have scored! People talk about Semenyo but in the 1993/4 season Liam scored four goals, two in an away match and two in the final match of the season at home. Four goals all season, but he was in the side that beat Liverpool! You couldn’t make it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree his end product needs improving but always looks dangerous when he's taking the ball to the opposition and with our injuries we don't have many who can do that. Bottom line he's in there as a striker He doesn't look like he's ever going to score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 I think it was tom, who reminded me juniors last kick in a city shirt was a goal against the gas. What a goal that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 2 hours ago, Robbored said: Semenyo is a better footballer than Junior Bent was. He’s as quick, links play much better and has greater strength and with better vision. What Semenyo really needs is a goal from open play in the league. Once he starts scoring in the Championship he’ll become a serious goal threat. The lad is a really good player. Agree RR, he's got more to his game potentially than Junior had. And I think like you and like many on here I've thought for a while that he just needs a goal and then they'll come. What is starting to worry me is that there is one obvious flaw in that theory.....!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 I think as Jon says, needs to concentrate on striking it cleanly than powerfully. He generate power naturally without much back lift. Look at Huddersfield, stroked a shot against the post. Even Blackburn the shot he hit a foot past the near post was more “placed” than “wellied”. Needs to improve awareness. He’s 20 though. Time to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Really powerful shot on him and he knows where to finish, just lacking the composure. Genuinely think if he gets 1, he'll keep scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.J.Thribb Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Young player does well on loan, club turns down bid from bigger club. Fans clamour to see young player in first team to ‘get proper experience at high level’, fans moan said young striker isn’t delivering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcnick Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Raheem Sterling was by no means a natural finisher but with coaching, confidence and of course decent players providing chances he became prolific. The team desperately need goal scorers, but at least Semenyo provides a bit of much needed flair and excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveller Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 12 hours ago, Midlands Robin said: Junior is now 50. That makes me feel old. According to Wiki he's a youth team coach at Preston. After retiring from playing, he went into finance as a Business Manager at NatWest. His coaching was a part time thing - though I don’t know if that is still true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
