Brilliant playerNot many players like him in this league , quite a unique individual In modern football , there were plenty of viks in the 90s and 00s , not so much anymore
He’s always been an offside merchant, Bakayoko had a song about being offside when Godden was caught offside more than him.
As a striker though, people are expecting him to put in the same shift as Gyokeres but he is simply not that player. Give him chances, he will score them. The return of COH will see Godden score more.
Give Walker a go at Bristol up front with Gyokeres. Godden looking like he needs a rest
hes missed a fair few he doesn’t have pace anymore
Watch when CoH is back how much it changes for God. He is that striker who thrives on the cute through ball, splitting the defence, one touch finish. We aren’t playing like that at the moment because of personnel, godden is dropping in which is why time after time Vik has the chance to run in behind.
He’s doing a fantastic job for the team.
Walker is woeful and should be nowhere near the team, couldn’t cut it for us, dropped down a division and couldn’t cut it.

So palmer is rubbish then?
Not at all, just plays a different role to o’hare. Weird take from my post

Not sure the people who come up with those songs actually carry out any statistical analysis before cobbling together their inane lyrics mate.
Well if you play both you have one striker? So you drop Gyokeres?
Or they both play a role within the same game but not necessarily at the same time…? Like maybe o’hare starts and palmer comes on. It’s called a substitution mate, give it a google

I was watching Godden a lot today. He works bloody hard, not just the clinical finisher. He hasn’t got blistering pace, but he never did. I don’t think it works with Vik as a partnership. Godden needs to be fed, and without O’Hare, Hamer and Palmer (up until today) he’s not going to get those passes. Vik is great, and makes chances on his own, but he’s not passing when he’s anywhere near the box.Watch when CoH is back how much it changes for God.

That's my interest actually to see if they play together ,they do different jobs so if given a chance think it will work as Palmer will hopefully take the pressure off COH.Interested to see how Palmer and COH will work together, even if we do change to the box. Not sure I’d go for it.
Don’t think Godden has been up to scratch yet. But if it was the final second of the match and you could pick one player to be bearing down on goal, one on one with the keeper. Who would you pick ?
I think we may end up only playing one of the strikers when O'Hare is fit again, partnering either Allen or Palmer.
With less creativity in the midfield and Gyo tending to hold the ball up and run at defenders to create his own chances, Gidden's scoring opportunities have been more limited this season. Maybe he does unseen work (whereas with Gyo could can see him fighting for the ball etc.) but the effective thing he brings to the team is scoring chances, and he's not really getting opportunities to do that.
So I could see him being used as an impact sub (if MR ever decides to use any).
Exactly this as Hobo has also suggested above.
Both Matty and Vik in my view are best in the lone striker role - and I can't wait to have the box formation back with Vik starting and Matty rotating.
Some on here have a weird obsession in completely writing players off after a couple of performances.

You’ve just admitted that he’d end up being back up in that formation - Vik is light years ahead of him ability wise and as a lone striker.Exactly this as Hobo has also suggested above.

Who would you drop from the 11 to enable Kelly to play a big role?Going to be brilliant to see them play together this season; I also think that Kelly is going to play a big role for us this season.
On a completely different note - good to see Robins far more upbeat post match - as he says - the season starts here.
