In fairness that MIllwall team they put out was league one. There are good signs but lets be honest, he needs to start doing it in the league consistently.

Other than Fielding the outfield ten had started 149 of 240 league games available (62%). People sucked into the rhetoric that they made 8 changes, the likes of Romeo was a returning first teamer as was Bennett, whilst Zohore has only recently returned. I totally get they didn’t play Williams or Wallace, but you can see that it wasn’t as far off their first team as “8 changes” makes it look. Of course I’m not saying Millwall are a great Champ team either, but it wasn’t a “reserve team” either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I wont getting too excited about him scoring against what was essentially half of a normally weak championship side. Sad to say that they've won 2 of those 16 and one was against us (and the other versus Huddersfield which maybe gives us hope for tonight). Hopefully he scores tonight and can get going in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid had an exceptional 6 months upfront because we caught teams cold - they underestimated his ability. As soon as they adjusted he was quickly found out. Amazing Cardiff/Fulham didn't cotton-on to the fact he's a far superior player behind the front two. But Semenyo is no Reid. Although neither are volume goalscorers Reid had consistent and quality output; he could pick a pass and find an opponent. He could also harass & close. Semenyo has the occasional mazy run but largely his end product is severely found wanting. Both side netting and hoardings know that from bitter experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with any of that but I do believe AS has the attributes and age to possibly surpass Bobby Reid. It will be interesting to see how he develops and whether one of the big clubs see something in him. Either way, BCFC win. Let's hope it's with us eh!

Better Red Posted January 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 23 hours ago, REDOXO said: I don’t agree with the whole notion of striker. I thought that was clear. We have forwards. The nearest to an out and out goal scorer is Wells, which I think I mentioned earlier in the thread. However Holden has played him out wider not centrally, by and large with Fammy more centrally, nevertheless Fammy has a defensive roll to play that he is complemented on consistently, of which I’m sure you are aware. At this time we are not playing with an out and Jimmy Greaves style “Striker” who has only one roll to score (to be frank many clubs don’t currently as they are few and expensive) Could Semenyo become an out and out goal scoring striker....? Of course....Is he being played as one, no!....Mainly because of all of his excellent work he unsettles himself in front of goal. Will that get better of course, because he’s got the makings of a great player, we will see where that leads. I’m not sure what difficulty you think I or anyone else is having. I don’t agree with the premise of the thread and have now said so three times. Your last paragraph has some resonance. He needs to add more goals which I said in the comment you are replying to. More goals and he may get played down the middle at the pinnacle of our attack as a striker, however right now he offers more as a running forward and as impressive in that role, not in the role that he isn’t playing which you are criticizing him for. I hope that my thoughts stated again are clear. FYI. The club profile for the lad has him listed as a forward One of our ‘Strikers’ has scored twice..

Better Red Posted January 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 20 hours ago, Davefevs said: Don’t worry, the sooner some people realise that they are constraining their thought processes by using terms like “striker” to evaluate performance of a player the better. It can be useful, in its simplistic form, but perhaps demonstrates why English football hasn’t evolved like in other countries. Thomas Muller, idolised in Germany, Dirk Kuyt, “doesn’t score enough” in this country. What does that say? Same as people thinking 433 is more attacking than 451, and the number of “strikers” determines your “attackingness”. What a load of horseshit!! A recent German squad simply listed their players as Goalkeepers, Defenders and Forwards. Not striker in sight. One of our ‘Strikers’ has scored 2 tonight....
