BCFC Rich Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Obviously the highlight for us today. If he can get his finishing to be more consistently like that what a player we'll have. Looked confident from the start and can't wait to see him against cardiff. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 2 good goals, the 2nd in particular showing his strengths. He's been a slightly better player overall since he came back into the side. Got to keep playing him there. Real handful for anyone when he brings his game together. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we all know he’s a proper handful with his pace and abilities,of course some will slag him off about his finishing sometimes but then it will improve with time,would much rather have him at our club than the likes of Palmer and Wells 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Today is another example of why I advocate playing him centrally. Boy, this we miss Chris Martin though.....on defensive corners!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 We actually play football with him instead of Martin. He has talent now needs consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) I’m happy to eat humble pie here. Semenyo’s finishing was different gravy today against arguably the best team in the league. I thought his finishing was his weakest attribute. It appears I was wrong and I hope it gives him the confidence to kick on now.

sh1t_ref_again Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Sure there will be some on here saying he is not a Striker. He has got a hell of a strike with either foot and once the confidence really starts to flow he will really push on and score a lot. Real highlight from today.

His return from injury has been a big factor in our improved attacking displays recently. Both goals were excellent. The defenders couldn’t live with his approach play and then the finishes were class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear, he could be some player if he can score consistently. You could say there’s a high grade spine of youth in our team that could push us forward once they’ve gained experience amd consistency.

GrahamC Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 The second goal was an absolutely sensational one, being fouled but too strong & determined. No wonder coaches talk about pace & power being vital. Only 22 this week, 3 in his last two away games, he looks on the verge of a massive breakthrough to me. 13 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Semenyo is our Jamie Vardy. I’ve been saying for a while it is very clear that Pearson has a way he wants to replicate, but has had to go about it this season so far without key players due to injuries. James was a miss today, Williams coming back will help. Baker would help too, but we are building a side from our academy with a few seasoned pros, the idea is to just keep clear of a relegation scrap and hope this is the start of the Semenyo era. Hopefully he’s a late bloomer in front of goal like the lad at Everton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 I’d love to see him get to double figures for the season . He’s capable . Prefer him to Martin as he has pace and power . He could save the club a few quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if Vyner is at the back - Atkinson would have been a better choice and I fully expect him to be in the team at Vyners expense against Cardiff. At least, I hope so. On topic, Semenyo is starting to look the real deal with his power and pace. Commentators on the stream I watched (a Fulham stream) were saying he is someone they'd like to see at Fulham. Semenyo's 2nd goal showed his power in holding off the defender by veering toward him to keep him at arms distance from the ball, then outpacing him and firing in a lovely finish, hitting the inside of the far post. Brilliant goal which he started on the half way line. He's full of confidence and I'm really looking forward to seeing him against Cardiff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The likelihood is he'll still have games where he snatches at chances and screws shots wide or slashes them over the bar. Thats not different to a lot of strikers. But at 22, his other attributes mean that even with a lesser goal return he's still very key to us. No other player in our squad (very few in the league) roll a physical tackle, spin, outpace the covering midfielder and score with aplomb like he did today. If today is a genuine unblocking of his goal constipation then I may have to revisit my thoughts on where his ceiling is! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmNick Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 One swallow doesn't make a summer regarding his finishing, but even without the goals today his general impact on the team has made him well worth his place. Hope he kicks on and has gained some confidence from today. Two fantastic goals... That second in particular, wow. Picked the ball up in our half, out muscled defenders, out ran them, finished from the edge of the box off the inside of the post. Brilliant! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon bristol Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 That second goal is as good as ive seen from us in quite a while,,, i think it’s quite possible that semenyo will hit double figures if he stays fit this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears I was wrong and I hope it gives him the confidence to kick on now. I think that Semenyo's issue was his lack of composure rather than his finishing - he looked ok in the vids of training but it fell apart when it mattered. He seems to have got over that issue judging from the last few games - not so many wild shots. Today will give him a lot of confidence and if he can keep up this form he's going to have a lot of clubs after him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to that, too. **** me, they were irritating, weren’t they? Trying to claim O’Dowda dived to win one free kick when the obnoxious Harry Wilson resembles Tom Daley in that regard. Thought Mitrovic was harshly penalised for the only foul given against him too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor10 Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 His return has been a turning point for us this season and is also why we don’t need a striker this window. Amazing how so many wrote him off and claimed he couldn’t score goals. Not all strikers need to score 20+ a season to be effective. I think it’s worth remembering as well that until this season he’s not had a run of games as a striker for us. Yes his finishing needs to improve but he’s still young and will get better. He contributes so much when he plays though. He’s decent back to goal, has pace and power and creates chances. We are a different side when he plays and far more fluid going forward. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 His second goal must qualify as the goal of the season. That was a truly amazing goal, similar to COD’s v Norwich . Well done Antoine. We can stop looking for a number nine in my opinion and get the defence sorted out. We are still shipping too many. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
