He’s got what the others haven’t RAW PACE

 

[larry_david]

I mean, godden scored a hatrick and came straight in.
Vik scores two last season in u23s and came back in the team.
You could argue fabio can't do much more at the moment

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

He’s for what the others haven’t RAW PACE

Yes but you still have to get yourself into positions. Using that pace against an 18yo is a bit different to a brute in Ryan Bennett tonight

We don’t know as robins won’t use him

 

[covboy9]

Bit early probably

Balls in behind for godden ? Tavares is rapid I’ve seen him a few times 10 min to go in games like tonight possibly worth a look

 

[SBT]

Yeah nevermind his complete lack of experience, or whether he’s capable of playing our style of football, get Fabio McBean on. Teams won’t know what to do when they see a player who can run fast, what could possibly go wrong.

You’ve not read what I put so this conversation is pointless

Ah but what could go right!!!

They won’t catch Tavares

With waghorn seemingly out and o’hare and gyok knackered , I don’t see why not give him a try off the bench

 

[Warthog]

Proven goal scorer. Has to be a better option than Walker given their respective records

Such as this record from Tavares - could be an apt title too

Tavares has scored four goals in 39 league games.

12 in 10 pal and his work rate is superb. Walker only scores tap ins

I don't know if Tavares is the answer but we were crying out for some pace up front last night, they were pushed up on the half way line when they pressed. A couple of decent balls went over the top but Godden is always coming second in a foot race.

The entire stadium seen this bar 2 men

Robins should know better than panicking and letting a young player get slaughtered. He will play him when he thinks he can make a contribution

 

[shmmeee]

Let’s not pretend the issue last night was we didn’t have pace. Györkeres was fine, we just never tried the ball over the top. The problem was in defence and midfield not up front really.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I wanna see Tavares get some minutes off the bench, also so quicker players signed in January possibly not ones that could go straight into the starting 11 but certainly ones that can make an impact

 

[Esoterica]

The new Ponticelli!

 

[fernandopartridge]

It wasn't the pace we were missing it was the players looking to play an early ball. Hyam is one example here of a player not being brave enough to try anything other than a square pass.

 

[stevefloyd]

I was severely disappointed with Godden last night, not his fault but he/we were handicapped with his lack of pace, his speed of thought was brilliant but his lack of pace let him down on at least 2 occasions, if we happened to get promoted it would be even more evident in the prem

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Godden gets in good positions but I always wish it was Gyo and not him when he looks to break clear. He's never going to win a foot race

 

[larry_david]

For every one step forward Godden takes, their defenders were taking two. It's not his game, but his pace at this level is alarming. Looks like he's got cement in his boots

Maybe the new contract was weighing him down still surprised we extended him

 

[edgy]

It's a shame (for Tav) that we haven't got the EFL Trophy or early rounds of the Carabao Cup to chuck him in for 30 mins or a start maybe.

We need to either buy someone with pace or develop one.

He was making some decent curved runs and was playing on the shoulder all night...a lot of the time the ball never came or was too late and by the he was off and had to check his run. Surprised Walker didn’t get 15-20 though

Back to Taveres though. Just for pure pace, which we haven’t really got anywhere anywhere in the squad, I’d be tempted to have him on the bench to chuck on for a few mins. Their defence last night would’ve had to have changed their shape and sat deeper, opens up space for Ohare etc. Sometimes worth a punt

At home if he isn’t going to pick Sheaf or Kelly you can only really have one of them on the bench in case you would have to chase the game, Tavares will be a bit of an unknown player (if any player is nowadays) and his confidence must be sky high.

Godden doesn’t have the explosive pace to get him away from defenders at this level that is why he is playing right in the lines of offside to steal a yard to get away.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

I'm a huge fan of Godden, but I thought he was anonymous last night. Not sure whether that was because Swansea made sure he was quiet, or he was just off his game, but he probably needed to be replaced by someone who offered something different for the last 30 mins, whether that be Tavares, Walker or A.N.Other. The thing is, Godden can just pop up with a goal even when he's not playing well, so it's a gamble to either leave him on OR replace him.

 

[Sick Boy]

Godden is a decent squad player at this level but not a regular starter, IMO.

 

[Bertola]

After the amazing success of the likes of Ponticelli and Bremang t's clear we're missing a trick by not throwing Tavares in at the deep end
