Agreed, I thought Kelly did well when he came on.. and although Godden missed a shedload of chances, he worked his fuckingsocks off

Godden is being criticised for missing the shed Load of chances. That’s what he is paid to do in the team, covert them .

I fuckinggetit but it doesn’t mean he had a bad game, or isn’t good enough. He worked hard and got himself into some great positions. On another day the match ball is on his mantle piece. He’s snatching at chances, which is not just a confidence issue, it’s something he can work at in training.

For me it was the first game in about 1.5 seasons he was actually involved. That alone is an improvement. Just a shame he fluffed his lines...4 times

Willock would be a great signing right now, if QPR aren’t willing to sell then I’d take Emeran. Next season or January Id like to see Godden replaced with someone like Lyndon Dykes, Tyrese Campbell, Sam Gallagher, or maybe someone from abroad.

That Miovski from Aberdeen looks a player. Shankland also beasting it for Hearts.

Cheaper options of the Godden mold that can do a job and be content playing 2nd fiddleDykes and Gallagher?

When he wasn't even bad.

He wasn't to blame for yesterday's defeat , there were others more culpable
He was way off the pace and didn't really add anything centrally when it was needed

I actually thought the left footed effort when he was in on the GK was actually a very good save rather than a bad miss. His connection with the ball was good and he was going high to the near post, more often than not that probably finds the net.
The issue for me with Godden is that work rate aside his contribution to the team is limited. His lack of pace, physique, skill mean defences find him easy to defend against. His biggest assets have been his movement and his finishing. Over the last season or so we have seen his finishing get worse and defenders catching him up even after his movement has initially beaten them .
Players like this HAVE to score goals to justify their place in the team, without them they don’t offer enough.

Going to be interesting to see what Robins does regards the strikers with Walker & Waghorne gone he needs another and possibly Godden could go too, there have been rumours. We have Taveres to come back and possibly young Obikwu but I expect at least one more to come in.

That’s why I could see sense in the Billy Sharpe rumour seems to have died a death now though that’s if it was ever likely.
Based on Robins most recent comments we will only recruit another out and out Striker if Godden leaves …. Otherwise he’s after the 10 / Wide player to give us more tactical variety

Wasn’t Saka signed to be that type of player?
Yes and I think he wants one more too, possibly with pace, which had been a clear intent in the forward areas this window.

Think he wants someone who could do a job as an AM and on the left wing if we switch formation. Like Dragus was.

When he comes in for Sheaf it makes less of a difference as their styles are similar. Think people just see the massive drop off when Hamer comes out.

Yer, particularly when the opposition midfielder is Dewsbury-Hall.

Agree, the keeper made two very good saves off Godden and ok he scuffed a couple. But you can't score unless you are getting in the positions to score. Godden will start getting goals if he keeps playing like that.
Some people expect perfection all the time, which is totally unrealistic.

Well by definition if he keeps finishing like that he won’t score.

I’ll be more frank. I don’t think we can trust Godden to bury chances in the way we could in our first Championship years. That was the one thing no one could dispute about Godden.
It could just be confidence or he’s deteriorating as a player. If it is true that we want another striker, then Godden is in a race against time for form otherwise he won’t be getting minutes.

I don't disagree with fact he is not quite the player he was and will probably more of a squad player this season. I would think Simms and Wright will be the first choices. But I still think with who we actually have at the minute Godden is still a good option to have. I think another striker will be signed before the deadline to add to the options
This. Plus at the end of last season teams largely ignored Godden as a threat and double marked Vik. It made Vik less of a threat but Hamer stepped in to the space created and added goals to his game.
This season we won’t have Vik, we might not have Hamer … That’s why Robins has spent the big money on Simms and Haji … he knows we need more goal threat

Thank god he's been priced so high, I wouldn't want him here, his strike rate is worse than Godden's and he's less mobile.
I think we'll bring in another striker with pace, probably on loan, and hopefully the new striker will form a partnership with Wright.

In theory, Godden makes a good backup option.
In practice, he doesn’t really fit into our style of way. He doesn’t have the physical attributes to get impact the game and more worryingly, his confidence in front of goal seems to have taken a knock.
In the right team, Godden could do really well which is why I think if a team gave us a decent offer, I’d consider selling up.

Judging from what MR has said he’s looking for, it won’t be an ‘out and out’ striker but someone who can play as an AM/wider so we have a viable option for the box formation.
Morgan Whittaker, annoyingly, would’ve been an ideal type of signing.
