As Godden doesn't rely on his pace, no way he will retire for at least another 5 years. I bet he's a better player than he was 5 years ago, as he's playing with higher quality players. Lets be honest here, none of our strikers have been really been firing this season, with the change in formation and the new arrivals all having to bed in. All have contributed thoughWell for a start there are strikers in their late thirties scoring regular in the Premiership.
For some arse to suggest Godden should consider retirement at 32 is beyond belief, he is probably at peak fitness, do you really believe Matty Godden or any other player turn up at training kick a ball around for an hour or so than go home in time for Bargain Hunt, my mind boggles at some of theon here.

Well he didn't kiss the badge or kick the corner flag when he scored on Saturday so he must be off no?

He'll be earning the best wage of his career, at the highest level he's played at so he's going to take early retirement, an Astute classic

Not sure if the rumours are also from here but been some talk that he may be off, plus the Langstaff rumour basically.

He’d not have earnt a great deal really in comparison to other players at this level, remember he didn’t come back into the pro game until his mid 20s.

Here's my view on Matty.
I'm 65 and been supporting the Sky Blues since 66-67.
Great work ethic, works hard for the team and gets back when needed.
But, Matty always wants the ball where he points..Seen it so many times.
It just doesn't happen that way. As a striker, forget where you want the ball. Look for where it will probably land if you are in the 6 yard box. Only ask for the ball if you have made the yards into a good position.
Don't expect your team mate to be a pychic.
He really is a great grafter though. Reminds me of Regis. Didn't score many but worked for the team..

I don’t think we’ll sign Langstaff, I’m also cautious about him being a McNulty v2.0. Especially at the quoted figures.
Our recruitment has generally been left field, so if we do get a forward in, it’ll be a name that’s unexpected.
If Godden is complaining about game time, an another first team forward could upset the balance. With MR leaning towards keeping Tavares I think it’s an area we’ll hold off on strengthening until the summer to be honest.
We play one striker and we have 3 good options in that area - it’s enough. We just wingers to allow Wright to move centrally if required.

I guess I’m old school, and can’t recall ever booing one of our own players, (opponents and referees were fair game though) let alone attacking them personally the way people appear to have been on social media.
We would always discuss the game later in the pub, and have opinions on who played well, or who didn’t, but the next game, we would be behind them all no matter what.
Then you would hear that people were abusing our own players during the warm up. Wtf?? (Kyle?)
To directly attack our players in any way, including on social media is pathetic tbh, and shows the lack of intelligence of these people. (Although I wonder why players even bother with social media that allows fans to contact them. They surely must know the dangers inherent with this?)

The best paid probably hire someone to handle the account and delete/ignore the abusive comments.

But if he has been wise and invested well he will have enough for a comfortable lifestyle. 5k a week average over 4 years is over 1m. Take off tax unless invested in proper tax break investments.
I mentioned what I would consider. I have already taken early retirement and moved to where I wanted to live. I plan to grow my investments from 4% a year and take 6% as income. In just under 10 years the wife gets her state pension and I get mine in 11 and half years. It helped greatly that our forever home cost about £80k all in last June. My full time job has been renovation of the house. We're not rich but we will get by fine. To me it's all about quality of life.

And hers?
Done the living hundreds of miles away from your nearest family with babies/toddlers. You don't get a single break. Any visiting takes planning. And family support is different to friends support.
Plenty of clubs around Kent that would be interested if that's the route he chooses. He would score for fun in League 1 and get a couple more seasons out of it as long as his body holds up. But I would be just as happy if he stays.

He's being talked about like he's 37 and on his last legs........ He's 32 and still scoring well at this level.

I meant his family, as in him, his wife and kids. As far as I know they've always been based in Kent.

Be sad to Matty Godden go if there's any truth in the rumours. He always comes across as very intelligent and reads his own game really well in his interviews.
I would be trying to integrate Ellis Simms into the team more though as he still has a lot more room for development, which will obviously limit Godden's playing time.
Think both central strikers seem to be struggling in that position at the moment as a lot of our play goes through the wide forwards and the game can pass them by

So living in Kent would be a massive lifestyle change for Godden. Minimum 6 hours travel a day for work or live away from your wife and kids most of the time.

Should have started Saturday instead of simms who will never do anything. People creaming over simms as he set up a goal against league one defenders. People
Saying he’s great wide when he’s created one chance and was bought as a striker. Robins playing him to justify his purchase. I could understand if Godden had been forced out the team by a player doing well but it’s the opposite. This one really don’t sit right with me some of our fans our morons.

I’ve not seen anything that remotely hints that Godden is to be on his way. The only tangible thing we’ve seen around him is that he’s signed a new contract.

I saw Godden posted a picture of his car being valeted, it looked new and expensive. If only he'd got a 10 year old Vectra he'd be looking at retirement plans

I don't think anyone is creaming themselves over Simms. He's been better in recent games and has the potential to be a lot better than Godden ever could be.
Simms actually gives the defenders something to think about outside of the box, goddens two starts over Christmas were as bad as it gets. Id rather someone missed chances but was involved in the game than be completely anonymous.
I'm not against keeping Godden as a squad player but he needs to accept that is his role as we move forward.

imsure they are shitting themselves. The type of answer I keep getting about Simms. Might be good, will come good, improving, showing potential, looks better out wide, looks hungrier after being a sub for weeks, looks fast after 10 yards, will get sharper with games, younger, repeat repeat till his contacts is over then goodbye. Literally all the season ticket money for this season has been spent on him but fans still think they need to back him to be a nice person. Whereas godden can get slagged off to high heaven. Our fans truly are shit.
