Godden had a good game, okay he may not be Erling Haaland but we'd be a poorer side right now without Matty

Haarlands shit he missed a penalty last week

In fact Haarland has missed 4 penalties according to transfermarket. With about the same ratio as MG.

Worst striker in the Premier League Peps trying to offload him

Haaland isn't fit to wear our shirt

Haaland isn't fit to wear our shirt

He would disagree

Great goal from godden today all that matters really

Crikey have you been on the positivity pill's.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

It wasn't in the corner, and a good height for a keeper.

In that freeze frame, it looks like the keeper moved off his line.

I’m not a modern day football scientist but given our midfield issues could we play Wright, Simms and Godden together and go more direct. Bypass midfield and this backwards, sideways possession altogether

FORWARD!

Having the three of them on together towards the end if we're chasing a game, maybe. Starting together - not for me. For a start I think Godden and Simms both want to be the player in the box getting chances and you can't have two of that type of forward on together.

As for the thing about Godden not contributing, there is validity in the point that he can be largely anonymous if he's not scoring. But at this point in time he is scoring, so he is contributing. If he went two/three games without a goal he could very well find himself on the bench.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

If he's scoring, nobody can complain. Only gripe with the penalty is that it puts us on the front foot, rather than chasing like we were much of the game.

Virtually no difference between MG and VG!

 

[fernandopartridge]

It is rubbish to say Godden doesn't contribute, as I've said elsewhere he was in our half with his back to goal laying it off to Ayari

You might argue it should be Palmer doing that but Godden did and then made up 60 yards to get on the end of the chance

It's actually 43 goals in 108 league games at coventry .. which is a pretty impressive record

Quite a few of those appearances were as substitute too. He's been an amazing player for us.

Matt Godden has got so many important goals - no one is above reproach but he has had a rough ride with injuries and becoming second fiddle at times - i for one think he is a real gent and a good Striker and been and will be a good servant

There is some bollocks in that table. Both Dublin and McSheffrey scored 72 for the club. Ndlovu 41 (37 league goals). Speedie 35 (31 league goals). Ignores Regis despite him leaving after Speedie.

And many of those starts, he was purely on the pitch to make selfless runs, and to make space and drag players away from Vik, on some occasions he was ignored and not passed to when he had borderline tap ins.

Yes, Regis only scored at about 1 in 5 games, so I could understand him not making the top 10 (without checking) if it were based on goals per minutes, but it clearly is based on amount of goals scored.

Regis would have been around at a similar time to Gibson who is one of the most successful top flight scorers we had

Yes, I couldn't remember how many Terry Gibson scored but I knew it was good, from the net it seems to be 43 in 98 games, so another name that should be on that list.

 

[Evo1883]

Let's be honest it's silly comparing godden to our top flight goalscorers as the level is different.. but at this level for us he's definitely been one of the better goalscorers we've had

Sheffers is particularly impressive given he spent 90% of his career with us playing left wing and not as a striker.

15 penalties scored in there (4 missed). What's the betting he "won" most of them himself!?

He was a master at ‘winning’ them.

52 in all comps. Considering we stayed up by the skin of our teeth in each season he was here makes it all the more remarkable.

Cyrille scored 62, but in significantly more games.
