It’s not ridiculous. I like Godden. Best finisher at the club. The reality is he can’t run in behind, doesn’t hold the ball up, and doesn’t link up with Vik. Teams are putting 2 on Vik as they know Godden can’t hurt them outside the box.The criticism of Godden is ridiculous. Still you lot have to have a target
Utter bolloxEccles and Norton Cuffy embarrassing. Never want to see either in a sky blue shirt again.
Hamer was the only one playing first half, shite second half.
Sheaf has to start Wednesday
He’s doing Allen’s role not as well as Allen because Allen is outThe criticism of Godden is ridiculous. Still you lot have to have a target

There’s no Eccles hate at all - just a view he’s lacking in what we need at this stage of the season
Goddens task is hardly thankless - it’s just mystifying why he’s playing, his role i assume is to support Gyokeres and move defenders away from him which he fails to do
Even when godden had his one chance in the box he had poor first touch and couldn’t execute“I never want to see him in a Coventry shirt again” isnt exactly a glowing endorsement.
As for Godden, he spent the day having to press as though he’s Callum O’Hare and win balls in the air as though he’s a target man (which he didn’t do well, understandably). His game is based on sitting on the last defender, being slipped in behind with clever movement - he shouldn’t be chasing wingers and playing as a 10 but he’s doing an unselfish and imo thankless job. I think he received about 2/3 passes all game. The 5’s and 6’s ratings are completely fair but I don’t think he had the chance to get any higher than that today given the service and positions he had to drop to.
He wasn't good today. How you marked him higher than Hamer is pretty mystifying.The criticism of Godden is ridiculous. Still you lot have to have a target

Way too much negativity. Hamer best player on the pitch followed by their number 8. Wilson did well to put his body on the line when he needed to. No real bad performers against a very good side.

Yeah you're probably right, I'll bump him to a 6. Although i would say it is less crazy than the 8s he has had off a couple of posters.crazy mark for BNC
But the question you have to ask yourself is what service does he require now? He used to be able to latch on to balls in behind, run on and finish, win headers, hold the ball up and of course be a reliable finisher. Now he can do non of the above other than finish and because of his other limitations it has to be put on a plate for him. He looks like he’s towing a trailer all game, yes he attempts to close, but when he gets there he can neither tackle, intercept or really trouble the defender dynamically. I love him and what he’s done for this club, can score the odd goal, but I think he’s mostly ineffective at this level now.Godden had next to no service, and some of our play out from defence was shocking, with simple passes going astray and some of the worst first touches I've seen all season.
For some reason, Hamer started the first half as a third defensive midfielder, and as a result we allowed Borough the freedom of midfield. If the plan was to draw them onto us and hit them with long balls to the front two it didn't work as the passes were shite and the Borough defence had the upper hand.
When we pressed them and looked to actually play football through the midfield, we started to get a foothold in the game.
Hopefully we've learnt from today, and we can cause some problems on Wednesday.
Still the best finisher at the club, and a real handful for defenders. Sometimes struggles to find his role when Vik is taking up the positions he's been used to taking.But the question you have to ask yourself is what service does he require now?

Stu is a fucking idiot when it comes to certain players. He just decides he hates them(for what reason I do not know) and then believes they play poor week in week out no matter how much others disagreecrazy mark for BNC

He's at his best when dragging defenders out of position, but he needs someone like O'hare or Palmer to carry the ball forward.
Today he suffered as Hamer was way too deep, and as I said above, the service was shite.
Only Eccles and Godden who started played worse than BNC according to WhoScored. They must 'hate' him too.Stu is a fucking idiot when it comes to certain players.

He’s just a loose cannon. Even oggy said he’s just frustrating and poor end product . Bidwell had one of his best games for a while. He had to work overtime in tbe first half to keep them at bay and got into good positions moving forward

he’s a striker that relies on service and our wing backs final ball isn’t good enough too often.

What did he say re his kneeConcerns quoted by MR about Hamer’s knee. For me he was our best player today, he seemed to be everywhere in the first half, but tired in the 2nd half. Really hope he’ll be fit for Wednesday, we need him badly
