    I’m just playing to the gallery - I just really respect his achievements, that’s all ... apologies if you think my wind ups have gone too far ... can’t argue with his record though, most successful manager ever in this country (promotions) ... 

    Fair play to you,I admire your loyalty BS4,and when he retires(again? again?? again???),sorry lost count now,he will leave a lasting legacy.I actually have a sneaking admiration for him,though not always his tactics,and will genuinely miss him when he does retire(again).Saying that I am also starting to miss Donald Trump,but wouldn't want him at our club either.

    P.S.Joey Barton is even more hideous than Warnock!(Probably on a par with Trump!)

    Can I offer the answer to that. I think he gets the satisfaction of knowing that his prediction to date is the correct one.

    If we're honest, he hasn't looked like scoring and has been getting into good positions on a regular basis. To that end, you'd think that counting his many attempts on goal, he'd have got lucky with the odd one or two. That hasn't happened to date.

    The OP has often stated that he hopes he (Semenyo) comes good and proves him wrong, but he doesn't think he will. I have to agree with him at the moment.

    Semenyo has lots of abilities such as, pace, strength, a hard shot, a certain amount of trickery. What he doesn't appear to have is a brain that works at the same pace as the game. He will often make the wrong choice in passing or shooting or the run to make space and doesn't see the other players giving him options (if they are). Those things come naturally to a goal scorer. Some things can be coached and other things can be improved upon and maybe, eventually he might start scoring a few goals but, doubt he'd ever get as many as ten in a season. I know he's a long way behind in his football education in professional terms but, you have to have a knack of scoring. that seems to elude him at present.

    Hope the OP is wrong and I hope I am wrong. 

     

    Have to agree with this really.OP has in fairness,said he hopes AS progresses,as we all do.I feel though that constantly highlighting one player,in what are continuing poor performances,is unfair and unnecessary. We can all see AS goal stats,and I don't see the need for the constant gloating.

    When people abuse people on here - 

    1. I don’t like it.

    2. I like to remind them that other people’s opinions are as important and valid as theirs. 

    3.Other people’s opinions even if different can also be right.

     

    I completely agree with all of that,however it is starting to look in my eyes that you have a big agenda against a young player in a struggling side,and that you are enjoying/looking forward to his next blank sheet.I understand your frustration with the teams performances,but you just seem to be constantly picking on an inexperienced young player,just to try and score worthless points against other posters.Semenyo is not exactly a stand out bad player in an otherwise performing team.If you want to challenge other posters opinions, that is of course fine,but it seems very unfair on a young player,to be using him as your ammunition.
