Selred Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Five. Chris Martin got 12 goals in the league last season, and 1 so far this year. Don’t get me wrong, he’s currently 5th choice, but he scores goals. Personally I’d look to keep the same line up. Semenyo is still coming back to fitness and his performances off the bench are explosive vs tiring defences. Give Conway, Wells and Weimann Saturday, with Semenyo after 60 and then let’s see. 10 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice the have options but at the end of the day some are better, at this stage in their careers at least, than others. Would be harsh to drop Conway but Semenyo proved it last season and has started to again this, he is our best attacker along with Weimann. And it looks like Wells at the moment for the third spot. We know the better players currently and if all fit they should play with Martin and Conway impacting off the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know he has to be rotated out in order to manage him but he’s in the following weekend (correctly IMO).

Port Said Red Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Weimann was very deep tonight, especially in the first half, he was playing alongside Scott. I would rather have him back behind the front two, who ever that might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 It’s just brilliant and let’s enjoy it while we can. I think if you asked all the championship defenders who out of the 4 they’d least like to mark, it’s got to be Semenyo. Although he had a couple of bad touches when he came on I just knew if he got the ball around the edge of the area he’d score and there would be nothing they could do about it. He will definitely be playing top flight football before too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather have him back behind the front two, who ever that might be. Andi had a very quiet game tonight. Most of his work came from being disciplined in not letting Russell get on the ball, and running him all over the pitch when we had it. Russell was fooked after an hour. Job done Andi. He hit the post early on too. It allowed James and Scott to follow their CM opponents into slightly wider positions without fear of leaving the centre of the pitch empty. Scott and Conway doing a good job on their side CBs when Hogg dropped in deep. Earned his wages tonight, just he’s been so good it feels like he wasn’t very good tonight….but he was perfectly fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Yeah Semenyo has to start now for me. If only for 60 minutes. Without doubt our best attacker overall. Must be an absolute nightmare to play against because he literally has it all. The only thing we were missing from him 12/18 months ago was finishing… that’s not a problem anymore. Weimann always has to play as well so unfortunately one of Conway and wells has to be dropped. Over to you Nige! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomThumb84 Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Got to go with Wells and Conway. Proper partnership. Semenyo still playing himself out of rust and what a sub he will be in the meantime. I think giving Conway a rest for Semenyo is the option in a couple of weeks, for me Wells has to start with one other. Finally seeing the player we signed.

I'd leave Conway out because he looked like the sequence of games had caught up with him. Only decision then is Semenyo ready to start wgich is a decision only Nige and Dave Rennie can really make. If he isn't ready, I'd start Martin. Conway can be the player to make an impact too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
