Cannot see Robins pulling that one off
Cannot see Robins pulling that one offMustapha Phwanc from Lille worth a go
Underrated striker, he's got a very respectable record for us, especially as he was asked to play second fiddle to the swede, for the last 18 months. He's missed a few games, but some of those were for appendicitis which won't happen again.
I'm glad he's still here.
We can't spunk all our cash on strikers.Mustapha Phwanc from Lille worth a go
26 goals in 77 games is still a good record though thats roughly 1 in 3 (championship)He’s a great goal scorer, but like Kelly and others you won’t get a season out of him, we never have.

Harsh. All strikers miss chances and although he should have made the keeper work it was a half chance. His goal v Watford gave us the platform to get to Wembley and was goal of the season for me.I like Godden but “best finisher at the club” line needs addressing.
Was no-one else at Wembley?

I much prefer a forward with Godden's goalscoring ability, but who misses some matches, than a Waghorn type player even if they were available every week.In all competitions he’s never managed more than 33 appearances a season since joining us and for the first 2 in this league never more than 25 - he’s a decent backup option though.
Yes brilliant, because if Godden isnt fit we would be playing Tavares from the start.I much prefer a forward with Godden's goalscoring ability, but who misses some matches, than a Waghorn type player even if they were available every week.
It'll be interesting to see whether Gidden does better next season with Gyokeres gone. I never really subscribed to the theory that they couldn't play together but maybe Gyokeres ' departure will help Godden.
Stiff competition from elsewhereCannot see Robins pulling that one off
You need a squad of players. A good player who plays half the games is more useful than a poor one who plays them all.Yes brilliant, because if Godden isnt fit we would be playing Tavares from the start.
The 9 subs thing isn't that important and I imagine for a lot of teams 2 or 3 of the players will be kids or players that have no real prospect of coming on. Surely no decent manager is going to go into a match undecided on the best options on the bench and ready to play any of the nine.Other thing is with 9 subs you probably want two strikers on the bench.

I think Godden is at his best when CoH plays - I can't remember who it was against but there was a goal against Derby that was sensational.I much prefer a forward with Godden's goalscoring ability, but who misses some matches, than a Waghorn type player even if they were available every week.

I agree but worth saying that we have just had Godden's longest run without injury since he joined the clubI’d worry about relying on Godden who we only ever seem to get about 20 games a season out of. If we’re playing two up I’d want two more in after Simms.
Indeed, he is a decent finisher in form but when he's not scored for a while he snatches at chancesI like Godden but “best finisher at the club” line needs addressing.

Agreed. And it seems that you can remember!I think Godden is at his best when CoH plays - I can't remember who it was against but there was a goal against Derby that was sensational.
Terrific pen too first up.People digging him out over the Wembley miss must have a bias, no?
No other striker we have would've been capable of getting that shot in.
Lightning quick thinking and execution that missed by an inch or two.
Let's hope so then we're pushing for the automatics...If we sigh Simms I think we will be playing 2 up front next season. Godden is probably more suited to playing in a partnership with Simms than he was with Gyokores and will probably score more as a result. If are to regularly play 2 up front though we need more depth so signing at least one more forward is a necessity and a certainty.
I reckon a fully fit squad means Palmer and O’hare start. One up top.If we sigh Simms I think we will be playing 2 up front next season.

Agree. Other option is to move to a back four, so O'Hare and Palmer behind two strikers. That would potentially be interesting to watch.I reckon a fully fit squad means Palmer and O’hare start. One up top.

A good option. I thought Palmers link up play with Vik was a joy to watch last season. Shame it was cut short.Agree. Other option is to move to a back four, so O'Hare and Palmer behind two strikers. That would potentially be interesting to watch.
I'll have what you're having.I'm really looking forward to starting the season with a fit Palmer - let's see what he can really do. 10+ goals? 10 assists?
You don’t think he’s capable of that?I'll have what you're having.
Well he wasn't fit for the first half of the season and still got 3 goals in the end. He's clearly the most talented player at the club ability-wiseI'll have what you're having.
