Current Player Thread Przemysław Płacheta

Kev Francis perfected the art of running off the end of the pitch with the ball but he made it into an art form; by running like Bambi on ice whilst he did it.

Maybe explains the hamstring injury, shall we miss him ? Stan is a far better player and Emakhu is doing well he could be really decent in league 1 for us.

Have been really impressed with Emakhu since he returned to the squad.

Seems to me he either instinctively - or because he's been told to - attacks his full back a bit more and tries to get to the byline.

Was also first over to applaud the fans on Saturday which, given he's had a bit of a bumpy start, speaks volumes to his character.

If he can maintain a that form in L1 and we manage to keep Stan on the other side, they'll be exciting to watch next season.

Fresh start for him next season at a level he probably is better suited to at the moment, with us likely to have more of the ball and be further forward more it’s a good chance for him to develop. Hopefully this little run at the end of the season has given him a boost and he can hit the ground running.
 
Despite his inconsistent performances I liked him as a squad player.

On a side note, the other week I showed a Polish mate a pic of him and he said real Polish men don't have hair like that! :ROFLMAO:

I definitely think him being further up the pitch (rather than typically receiving the ball under-pressure in his own half, often with his back to goal) was a key factor. He came on when we were chasing results in recent games or generally looking to attack more in the case of the Owls. Certainly green shoots from his appearances of late and look forward to seeing what he can do in League One.

He's not really what we need now, a luxury player who could rip it up (sometimes) when he wanted to. Good luck to him - he always tried hard and gave us some moments.

I don't think he was ever what we needed. We needed a reliable winger who could beat a man and get the ball into the box, instead we got a one-footed show-pony with the composure of a rabbit in headlights. Good luck to him - he always tried hard and gave us some moments - and that hair must come with a high-maintenance cost.

Along with Dembele a prime example, I confidently assert with no inside information, of what you get when you do lazy, internet-based recruitment.

Haha I kind of went into the whole Placheta thing with a mindset of "ok well we can't afford a reliable, strong, quick winger on Championship money so let's get a few mercurial ones".

He was brilliant at times, frustrating at others, played into the ground, injured - it just never worked out. He's going to be one of those nearly-rans, which I am sure will be frustrating for him but he'll sweep up in the MLS.

Dembele is utter w**k though. If I were on the Board, I'd be seriously pissed off that nobody seems to be spending my money very wisely. Heads would roll for players like Goodwin and Dembele.

I’ve nothing against the bloke and he has produced a handful of great moments in the past two seasons, but I’m happy to wave him goodbye. No consistency, no football brain, can’t defend and seemingly injured 50% of the time.
 
After 2 seasons of coaching he shows no change in how he plays,,still can't make the right decision on what to do with the ball,good luck to him in the future, but the team needs a more consistent player.

Not disagreeing with you, but in all my years I can't remember ever seeing a really consistent winger.
It's the nature of the beast..

He seemed to run out of ideas once he made a good run along the wing and stopped. Usually has a player on him who more often that not got the ball off him or caused him to make an error.
 
- Free transfer.
- 41 starts and 16 subs.
- 10 'goal involvements' (4 assists, 6 goals - including some crucial winners/equalisers).
- Playing largely for a manager that didn't want to attack, or play with the ball, or allow their wingers much attacking discretion.

He'll go down as one of the more unfairly maligned players in our recent history, for my money. When he's actually been one of very few success stories from our recent recruitment.

Particularly ironic that people are pinning much of next season's hopes on other wingers at the club (that were signed for decent fees) that have thus far (whether through their own quality or lack of faith from the manager) offered absolutely nothing.

I'll certainly look back fondly.
 
Cracking player, one who also created space for others but in turn, that quality often goes unnoticed.

Had a far better G/A contribution than others and scored some devastating, wonderful goals. Maybe his end product may have been more noticeable with someone who could finish.

We're worse off, without him in the squad; currently.

He did ok, and had his moments, including a couple of worldie strikes.

But we now have Mills, who's everything Shemmy isn't, decisive with the ball, loves to run at the full back, gets his crosses off early, and does his defensive duties well, so we'll be fine.

He didn't set the place on fire, but I think Shemmy will have enjoyed his time with us, and I can't imagine there will be many who don't wish him well.

In the future, when thinking back to this 2 year adventure in the championship, he will probably be the first player that comes to mind.

He epitomised our stay, moments of brilliance sprinkled into a heck of a lot of frustrating moments.

He’s left us with some great memories though

Agree, a couple of amazing screamers!
 
Would have loved to have seen him play for a number of games in a row on the left wing, and told to knock the ball past the defender, beat them for pace and get the cross in. Just felt he could have offered the same on the left side that Mills did on the right.

Just feel he got pissed off in the end through lack of game time, hence him not being available in the last couple of game’s apparently via injury!! Just felt he’d checked out as he knew he was going at the end of the season e.g. if you cannot be bothered about me, why should I worry about you.

I say this as he was mightily pissed off after 3 or 4 games without getting on/getting any significant game time, and after that he wasn’t available. Obviously, I don’t know this for sure, so just my feelings/thoughts!

Like others have said he was hit or miss, but I felt this was because he mainly played on the right meaning he had to check instead and create/think which wasn’t his best asset, hence why I wanted him on the left as he didn’t need to stop/come inside, not think, but just knock the ball past the defender, beat them for pace which was his best asset, then whip the ball in!!

Oh well!!
