Kelly is consistently hamstrings, Godden is a variety of which some (appendicitis!) aren't really anything you can plan for.

Norwich have lost three of their last five, why shouldn't we look to beat them?
The international break will offer him a rest. As we have seen, (see Binks) all the squad will be needed at some point. Some stars will fall, some will rise.I don’t think Godden should be ‘dropped’ but I think it would be sensible to rest him at some point given his injury history. Look at what happened to Kelly.
I don't think Robins see's him as wing back. He may have played there at his previous clubs but the championship is an unforgiving league and any weakness exploited. I think he's been brought in as a squad player filling in around when we have injuries. That said, it was interesting that he didn't come on and Ayari did on v Blackburn.It's telling he hasn't started Saka at RWB since the injury to Milan as we'd assume he got him to fit in that formation (MR rather than anyone else). Perhaps he'll use him there depending on the threat assessment of the other team, he hasn't looked too comfortable defending. Latz supposedly has experience in the role you suggest so that would make sense, though perhaps swap him with Eccles see how that goes if he don't trust Saka's defending. It's just a shame we have so many MF injuries and no proper depth as that still would mean keeping Jamie Allen back to fill in.
Apart from when he started him at RWB against Huddersfield...It's telling he hasn't started Saka at RWB since the injury to Milan as we'd assume he got him to fit in that formation (MR rather than anyone else).

Yeah fair commentHe wont
Far as im aware none of those who are nearly back will be risked when theres a whole 2 weeks break after tomorrow to get them up to speed as best they can in training
Got an impression from Robins pre match interview today that one or two may be considered depending how todays training went. Can't see anymore than one or two getting on the bench just in case.Yeah fair comment
Suprisingly Palmer sounds closeGot an impression from Robins pre match interview today that one or two may be considered depending how todays training went. Can't see anymore than one or two getting on the bench just in case.
Yes of course, sorry. Elephants dont forget.Apart from when he started him at RWB against Huddersfield...
If fit for the bench why not start, we have a two week break after Norwich matchHope Milan and sheaf will be on the bench Saturday
What is his injury ?Suprisingly Palmer sounds close
He won’t start them slowpokeIf fit for the bench why not start, we have a two week break after Norwich match

would under arms bowling count?Agree. I don't like this "free hit" ethos. It almost implies it doesn't matter if we lose. Every point counts at all stages of the season.
I don't get why people have to polarise the discussion so much.Godden seems to have become a very strange topic where he's either grossly underrated or grossly overrated and the 2 camps keep arguing the same points over and over. I cba to get into my thoughts on him at all as its all got very very strange. The Haji Wright thread is a shit show too.
Surely he’s one of the first on the team sheet?I don't get why people have to polarise the discussion so much.
I think Wright and Simms should be given a go together. And since Robins rarely makes subs with more than 15 mins to go that means they have to start to get any reasonable game time.
That doesn't mean I think Godden is shit or doesn't have a place in the squad.
Obviously not in my view.Surely he’s one of the first on the team sheet?
Dropping godden is bonkersObviously not in my view.
I don't think it is. Simms got his goals v QPR and looked good again on Wednesday and Wright got the winner. Godden has gone 3 without a goal and has played every minute so far, why not switch it up?Dropping godden is bonkers
I'm not so sure about that, obviously he'd have to play a little deeper, if Sheaf and O'Hare are fit then he's on the bench for definite.I think right now at AM running around a lot is exactly what we need. He breaks the lines well and offers options which Eccles Ayari Palmer and Kelly don’t.
Would he make it into a first XI with O’Hare fit? No. He doesn’t offer enough impact at AM. But as a pair of legs in a very static three man midfield he’s in his element.
Suprisingly Palmer sounds close
I think the 'free hit' notion is more borne from the fact that people would probably have snapped your hands off if offered 6 points from QPR, Blackburn and Norwich - add in the midfield situation, and I think some (possibly me included) would forgive a slip up (I obviously don't want one) The international break feels like something of a metaphorical lifeboat in terms of allowing players to return from injury. Feels like it may be a total reboot for restarting the season.
You’re the most clueless imbecile on here to be fairgodden is gud cuz he run around a lot

The notion that Godden is great at holding up the ball is complete fabrication.
can we stop pretending he does things he doesn’t to justify a point of view on including Godden.
Godden does 2 things well: finish, movement in and around the box.
Oh but he works hard I keep reading … yes he does, but with little impact. He makes very few interceptions, forced very few errors, etc.
People getting their wish up top tomorrow....
Tavares I reckon......Wright and Simms or the box?
What abouts Goddens influence to the team in regards to morale and being part of the old regime? That's important, especially at the moment with so many new players and rumours of confidence issues. Also, I've never seen him looking so fit - so resting him seems pointless. He's a very important member of this team/squad.The notion that Godden is great at holding up the ball is complete fabrication.

/resists urge to give his view on effectiveness of players...I'm not so sure about that, obviously he'd have to play a little deeper, if Sheaf and O'Hare are fit then he's on the bench for definite.

Can’t wait for the same fans to be calling for godden to come onPeople getting their wish up top tomorrow....
