All power to the lad that he started the season behind Martin, Diedhiou, Wells, but has done more than enough to get picked over them in several games. Hes got something, he’s raw. Just keep giving him opportunities from the start and bench, he’s fully ingrained in the 18 (20 now) man match day squad. That isn’t anything to be sniffed at. And as you say his productivity, 2 goals 6 assists (7 depending on your source) is decent enough. His contributions have been good too. At 21, not one I’d be writing off for lack of goals....especially as many appearances have been as a wide forward. I had him down for an assist against Swansea (got the penalty) - its only from my own notes, not from any online sites so 7 could be wrong.

I take my assists from BBC/Press Assoc. they don’t give them for the player brought down, so I follow. Similarly Martin’s slight deflected pass to Weimann v Forest doesn’t either.

Better Red Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 10 hours ago, bcfc01 said: He is just 21 (7th January) and he didn't come through the academy system so had no professional development until he was around 17/18. He is behind a lot of the academy lads in those terms but has learnt very quickly and overtaken a few of them. He needs to have composure when in a scoring opportunity, but I think that will come - hopefully before DH loses patience. When Eliasson was here he scored few goals but was an assist machine with 14 in his last season. We are at the half way point of the season and Semenyo, in a different position and different sort of player, already has 7 in all competitions - more than any other squad member. He's earned his place in the team and I think, if he continues to learn at the pace he has been, he will be a valuable asset by the end of the season. My post was about Adelakun not Seymenyo. The quote above is not the whole post. I was saying No about Adelakun. For the record Seymenyo has earned his place but needs to add goals otherwise will become a bench player. 7 hours ago, LondonBristolian said: Totally agree with this post. It's utterly irrelevant Adelakun is or isn't better than various players who weren't fit or available to play yesterday. What's relevant here is how he played yesterday and whether he's got a role to play in the team at the moment. And for me, the answer is that he's not a perfect player, and nor does he yet look confident at this level, but our shape looks better with a player who can add some width to our formation and get a cross in and that he contributed to a good team performance yesterday. I'll worry about whether he's better than other players would be if they were fit and in form once we reach a point where those players are fit and in form. But for now, Adelakun has come in at short notice, done well and deserves to keep starting until someone makes a case ahead of him. That won’t be long....

Better Red Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 I will start the rating for Adelakun 4.... Dont tell me he keeps his shape well. Never mind that he is not better what we got coming back. We got 3 better players on bench. He offers nothing... opinion not fact but getting more like a fact every game he plays.

That’s why he hasn’t played yet, he’s still swimming the channel! I have made my mind up he’s not good enough... Have you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone of them are better than him. I think you agree they all are better? Back to his performance yesterday - did nothing worth of note. Hence my 5 if every one else gets a 8 or 9 then based on the bar being to high I give him a 6. Ratings tonight?? 200 mins now and nothing has changed. Would have been more minutes be he keeps getting dragged off. Even Deano can see it. shame it’s taken 3 games to get to the same answer as we all ( most of us) could see. Everyone wants to defend these players why? Lets give them ago? Bullshit we pay people a lot of money to make those decisions and they can’t. I get paid nothing but I can. That’s not about me it’s about them. They just don’t know what a good player looks like. We are a Championship club not a Sunday league team.
