Was class today

Honestly fuck the lot of you who questioned him. His stats don’t lie. He sacrificed his own game last year for the good of the team and if you can’t see that then you’re clueless.

Super Matt, great hair and absolute bagsman

The key for Godden as it always has been will be to stay fit. He can't be the talisman striker on the treatment table. I really hope he has an injury free year as he probably will bag loads.

 

[skyblu3sk]

The only thing I'd question with Godden and I'm not sure if this is me missing something but he often looks to drift to the back post if a player has the ball wide. If he arrived in the box a bit later he'd often be easier to find and have a simpler shot.

Well he had his best all round game in the championship today - outstanding performance

Just looks fitter and sharper, even half a yard quicker, this season so far. Really good game

 

[Greggs]

Looks fit as a fiddle, long may it continue.

Trust the manager , who continues to put his faith in godden despite signing over 10 million pounds worth of forwards


If he stays fit then simms will need to start performing which is what the team needs , healthy competition

 

[fernandopartridge]

I'm delighted he is playing well, I think the continuity in the side from a backbone of Fadz, Sheaf and Godden is important and no surprise those 3 were all good today.

Well at least he shut a few moaning twats up today.
Long may it continue, well played Matt

Fadz just defies all the odds really

Will take some of the presure off Simms as well. I think the expectation as Vik's replacement has got to Simms.

Always liked Godden. Great player and human being.

 

[Macca]

Maybe the competition is doing him good. Looked a different player

 

[clint van damme]

Godden was superb today, though not sure he should have been giventhat 2nd goal!

 

[Evo1883]

Also don't think people realise the importance of having 3 or 4 decent strikers at the club , sunderland fans are crying out for a striker and we're sat on about 15 millions worth

He wasn't

 

[shmmeee]

On current form it’s Godden and Wright as the front two. Might be what Simms needs anyway to give him time to get right.

 

[clint van damme]

He wasn't

He was last time I looked, but that was 5 pints ago

Great to bring such quality off the bench

We played a team today who were absolutely crying our for a striker.
We seemed to have coped better with losing key players than they did.

I don't think Wright would make it much past 45 mins at the moment looked a little leggy after some of his pacey runs.

 

[Evo1883]

That's 41 goals in 81 league starts , or 41 in 105 league appearances at city .

I can see him hitting 15 this term

The bonus of selling someone for good money early in the window.

Early days yet mind, I expected us to roll over Middlesbrough as they're lining up ATM.

Saying that, what’s with the fingers in the ears celebration? If it’s because a couple of bad eggs on twitter (sorry…X) were giving him a bit of abuse for not scoring against Leicester then it’s a shitty way to celebrate in front of 24k fans, the majority of which love him.

Agree, he should stop that now, he was having his Super Matt song sung loudly throughout the game.

Is the fingers in the ears a dig? Or isn’t just “Not listening to the haters”?

 

[hamertime]

The bloke is a class act. He looks fitter and sharper than he’s ever been. Credit to him. I really rate him and am glad he’s stayed.

Must admit with Godden playing so well today I thought Evo would be coming out swinging tonight (guess there’s still time). I’m fairly happy with our striker options now - thought Godden would be earmarked as 4th choice which would see him leave and replaced, but if we have 3 all competing strongly and the option to flex to 1 up top if required then I’d be tempted to leave it at 3.

Always a “what if” but just imagine if he was that bit quicker. Be absolutely lethal.

I agree with the last line , he'd probably not be here then

 

[fernandopartridge]

The third goal was very very similar to the Godden cross for Vik v Sunderland only this time a defender put it in.

Yea haji would have scored if the defender never got onto it

 

[hamertime]

Another thing, Godden is ultra confident. Hes never once not backed himself, you see other players moping around when they are not scoring ive never seen him moody. His was our top striker, vic arrived he had to settle for second fiddle but hes come back stronger than ever. So happy for him.

They edited out the final line...
"Well, except for that one twat who tagged him in abuse"

Is that what the fingers in ears is all about? What's the story behind that?

He was targeted on twitter after Sunday's game by one of the faceless trolls who make it such a sewer of social media
