Matty Godden (14 Viewers)

[Matt smith]

Ellis has made 26 appearances and has scored 3 goals .
Has less touches than matty godden per 90 minutes played



Much of our success has absolutely nothing to do with the CFs this season..they've scored 9 of our 38 league goals , neither have worked particularly well in the system

Thats fact

Some of our chances and therefore goals at present are either coming from a cross to the other side of the goal therefore say saka is on the end of them, or a through ball down the inside left or right channel

basically the system suits goals from inside forwards

The answer is no , he doesn't

He has alot on his side though , build , pace , age , time

He adds a hell of a lot more than Godden does , he plays on the shoulder of the last man and puts defenders on the back foot . It's simply something Godden can't do

 

[Martin180]

I wouldn’t say he doesn’t work

Godden will score some goals in any system he’s a great finisher

but if he’s not scoring he doesn’t contribute enough

does Simms contribute that much more? A little but not as much as he should do at present

Take a look at the player ratings from recent games since our upturn on form

 

[Evo1883]

I have spent almost the entire time godden has been here arguing with fans about him .. would never think the poor bloke is one of only 5 players or so in the last 50 years to bag 50 goals for ccfc ..

Criminally under appreciated by supporters

I guessing how you look at strikers , dele adebola was bang average and could do all those things , awful goalscoring record though compared to say a stern john .. bottom line goals are what makes a striker good or not

I don’t mind Simms I think he’ll come good, but he needs to improve

The one game I will agree with you was Leeds I thought he was superb in terms of a lone striker, needs to be doing it most weeks

with regards to the ratings, I watch us every week (albeit away games on I follow a fair bit), I’m saying what I see basically

I'm not criticising him mate . Last season he did a lot of the donkey work alongside Vik and was vital in our run to Wembley .
This season since going four at the back his value to the team has been downgraded . That's not to say he won't be a big part of the squad moving forward

who would you rather start at Leicester

Adebola didn't have the talent around him that Simms has , that's the difference

Il say that I also argued constantly with fans last season about his input .

 

[Matt smith]

who would you rather start at Leicester

Probably Simms

bring godden on after 65/70 if we need a goal

like I said I don’t mind Simms think he’ll come good, but also agree with @Evo1883 in terms of the difference in price and therefore the expectations in performance should be different

 

[Martin180]

Last season I wouldn't have argued against you

 

[Evo1883]

I don't think the issue is who starts or not , most of us are happy with Simms starting tbh

 

[Martin180]

Probably Simms

bring godden on after 65/70 if we need a goal

And that is where the side is currently for me

 

[Matt smith]

And that is where the side is currently for me

Because you’d rather a chance against a potentially tired defence or a game that’s getting stretched fall to godden

that’s clear as day

 

[Matt smith]

Who starts in MR eyes Saturday?

I think he could very easily start godden

 

[Martin180]

Wouldn't argue with that at all .
Flip it round and who would you want working a back line for 70 minutes before making the substitution? Godden or Simms

Thought that as I was typing it

Well believe you me , fans on here know better ( never have ) so there will be tantrums if it's not who they want

Let the manager manage , he usually gets it right

 

[Matt smith]

Well believe you me , fans on here know better ( never have ) so there will be tantrums if it's not who they want

I have a feeling he’s gonna start godden

just a hunch

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I have a feeling he’s gonna start godden

just a hunch

It’ll be Wright simms Sakamoto I’d imagine.

 

[Evo1883]

Well I don't think he will , but if he does then he does

The match thread after 2pm is the nearest thing to male PMT that I've ever read . Week in , week out it's absolutely priceless

 

[Matt smith]

I think robins is being coy on wright

I think he’ll be fit, if he is it’s wright COH saka

sheaf and Eccles behind that

 

[Martin180]

I have a feeling he’s gonna start godden

just a hunch

Not a chance .
If he does you can be super optimistic for 24 hours and I will be way over dramatic, deal ?

If I’m not an away game it is as I’m on here being all dramatic, if it’s a home game I’m too busy trying to get a beer at a busy anecdote

 

[long way home]

Picking Simms or Godden all depends on fitness of Wright for me. If Wright is fit i could see Godden, if not i see him going with Simms.

We will definitely play on Doyle and hope to get behind him with pace..

Isnt Doyle injured ?

5-0 at the weekend

Simms bags 4

wobbling my head all of Saturday night

No started last week

Love a head wobble me , Grendel might join me one day

 

[Martin180]

No started last week

Saka turns him inside out

 

[Martin180]

Heard Grendel is confident simms will bag a brace

Might call him immense if he does

 

[Matt smith]

Saka turns him inside out

You’d target him for sure

robins will know his weaknesses defensively
