robin for life Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 If it's not broke ..... All three were fantastic again. Semenyo should not walk back in, for me the key to us being very good this last 3 games has been the way these three work together. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 I think what is really positive is the fact we now have options and, as a result, are less vulnerable to injuries curtailing our season Semenyo is a superb player and Weimann Semenyo Martin is a fantastic combination but Wells and Conway dovetail really well. I still think Semenyo will be a big loss if he was sold but, whereas two weeks ago it felt like that might leave us in a lot of trouble, it feels as though we have plausible alternatives. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonRobin21 Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 As an attacking unit (all options included) we have to be up there with the best in the league. The options we have available to us. You would back all of them to get 10 goals a season minimum. Conway, Weimann, Wells, Semenyo, Martin. Other teams would dream of having those options available to them. Special mention to the midfield and defence as well today. That's two clean sheets in back-to-back games. I can't remember when we last achieved that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcofisher Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 It’s also really helped our defensive numbers as well. The front three create so much that the midfielders can maintain position and thread balls through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although fair play, today and against Luton he has come on and done a good job in helping us see the games out. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperative that we keep Weimann at the club aswell. Huge player for us and it wouldn’t surprise me if someone puts in a cheeky late bid for him this window. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Wells - Conway We'd be playing a wide game then. According to the AA; Wells to Conway is 240 miles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdivision Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Semenyo, if he isn’t sold, won’t come straight back. He’ll be eased back in. But we’ll also need to give Conway or Wells a breather. It’s a squad game over 46 matches. And it’s physically demanding. Well played NW and TC, but Semenyo is our best striker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 I do really want to see Semenyo - Conway - Weimann though. Agree he shouldn’t just walk straight back in but it would be madness to not get him in that first team as quick as we can. Offers too much to simply leave on the bench. Wells and Martin to come on when we need it. Spoilt for choice upfront Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 I thought Martin did well when he came on too. Won a few balls in the air, held the ball up well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoilt for choice upfront I actually think Wells perfectly compliments either Conway or Semenyo as he is a great footballer who links play excellently and finds the space left by TC/AS. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 The Wells-Conway partnership is the way forward IMO. We forced both the last two teams 10-15 yards further back, which essentially put them on the back foot — and let’s not forget Luton won 2-0 at Swansea yesterday, so they’re no mugs. We’ve stumbled on a great partnership up front, potentially the best I can recall for a very long time. We’ve got the makings of a decent side here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Swan and Cemetery Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 If we can keep them all, can see us starting WWC and reverting to WSM or vice versa, not many defences in this league would be able to deal with the contrast.

I think Conway is the more instinctive goalscorer, whereas Semenyo is the more dangerous attacking player - if that makes sense 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 In addition to their goal scoring abilities, it’s the press, with the Wells, Conway, Andi combination … they are truly superb at it. Really panics defences. When Martin plays we need an entirely different game plan as he hasn’t the legs to defend from the front using the high press tactic. Presently we need that high -end press given our rear-end fragilities! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
