If they are only his 'third nicest pair', what must his first and second pair be worth? Perhaps @ExiledAjax might care to send a picture of said pants, preferably washed and hanging on the clothes horse, rather than being worn. Frankly, I am not familiar with the price of high quality pants, mine tend to be a five pack from M&S . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better Red Posted October 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Took a lot of stick to this post 2 years ago and it is often brought up when he scores. For me nothing changed play him wide in a front three and ‘we’ would be a better and ‘he’ would be better player. Not posting to gloat as obviously he can score at this level ‘but’ we need some pace out wide and he’s everything we need and for me we would be a ‘better’ team and you can leave Wells to play through the middle (who will score 10 plus goals) I said if he scores 10 league goals in a season I will change the title - not ready to do that for the minute But can’t we just move him wide and then we may have that £10m player no one’s paying that for a ‘Striker’ who get 10 a season. Is he a good player - Yes Is he a Striker - Still no from me Is he a winger - Yes for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James54De Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 No, just lacking confidence and gone back to hitting the ball as hard as he can when in view of the goal. One goes in, it all comes flooding back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 As good as he is we look a better team with Wells and Conway starting and him coming on off the bench later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great contribution Ridiculous - Playing Seymenyo wider will make us better is so far wide of the mark - You really think so? Maybe you just don’t get what a debate is about and I guess football from your comments. Have an opinion that’s all I am saying - not right, not wrong but certainly not ridiculous.

Packman Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Wide of a front 3 isn't a winger though is it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Better Red Posted October 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 When we had Albert he was a great winger, scored goals and dragged the team forward. Albert was a brilliant player for us. All I am saying is I think he could do that role for us. And Seymenyo has strength as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson has made comments about HNM not signing a contract and not deserving a place in the team over others that have committed their futures but for me Semenyo is in the same boat. 6 months +12 months left on his contract, he's got no intention of signing a new deal. As his contract winds down then so does his value. We're his home town club that have invested a lot into him in terms of development and recovering from injuries and he's essentially costing us money so imo unless he's willing to sign a new deal then he is a bench warmer. For a while now I've got the feeling that Semenyo cares more about playing for Ghana than he does us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me he would be so much better wider and his pretty good now he help the team out. I see your logic, I think he's good enough to play in either position. Last season he was unplayable at times, got plenty of goals and assists based on minutes played, but for whatever reason he looks low on confidence. I'm confidence he'll get his mojo back and will be banging goals in sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Geoff Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 What has been noticeable imo since he has been back in the side is our high pressing from the front has dipped considerably. Tommy made a big difference in that respect when he came on today. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree I have posted before that as good as he can be he is difficult to get into a set disciplined system he is an off the cuff type better suited to a 30 min tare up second half.

The clubs not a charity, the only reason they invested time and money into him was because they wanted to reap the rewards. And there's nothing wrong with that, but there's also nothing wrong with Antoine doing what he feels is best for himself and his family. His contract and wages weren't handed to him, he earned it. I've not seen any evidence of him lacking desire or heart, have I missed something? Edited October 22, 2022 by Champfan45 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hankey Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Semenyo is class……however i think he is trying too hard, either to get his world cup place or a move (probably both to be fair). Not basing it on today, but particularly the last few games at home where he just seems to kick the ball as hard as he can hoping for a goal, without getting his head up. Either way, he is far too good to leave out of the team, but hopefully he can start to be a bit more composed again soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better Red Posted October 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 We could even play 442 play him wide on either side. Sykes could give him some completion. We could play an actual Right and Left back. It would would create a lot competition for places maybe 2 players for every position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
