Tbf I will go down as a SBT legend.
This is just pure speculation that players are going around sullen & pissed off, does the team spirit look lacking, are any players looking demoralised? If we go down that route we’re saying that Robins is a poor man manager, which involves more than just telling people they’re playing/ not playing
And anyway the other argument to it is that they all know they don’t have automatic starts, which is healthy
Imo walker is a better striker than godden. Compare their goal records in l2 and l1 (when walker was at mansfield and lincoln on loan) and I think it’s clear to see who is better. Godden suits our system well but walker is a goalscorer and needs to be given more of a chance
Yes but both haven’t featured regularly for us in the champ for various reasonsAgree Walker is a better long term prospect but wouldn’t it make more sense to compare their Championship records?
We picked up 1 point .
In goddens last 3 games where he scored and played we picked up 7 .
Team game grendel
Godden did win his place back. That's why he started. Also, he's the better strikerIt should have been up to Godden to win his place back in the team - it’s poor man management by Robins.
He didn't win it back, he was brought straight back in despite Walker scoring twice in successive away games.Godden did win his place back. That's why he started. Also, he's the better striker
Thats a really good read, enjoyed that. Was a bit surprised with how low the crossing accuracy and balls into the 6yrd box stats were tho.Horses for courses imo.
All 4 are very decent strikers at this level & offer different things.
Harsh on Walker possibly yes but can understand the Godden selection. He runs the channels better than Walker & also helps defensively when playing against a system that utilises wingers.
Good analysis piece this & highlights how we often ask the strikers to defend against full backs to prevent a 2v1 against our wing-backs. Godden is very good at this.

It is a good read but I disagree that Hyam is more comfortable in possession than McFadzHorses for courses imo.

Have to agree regarding Dabo’s crossing I watched him carefully the last couple of games and he tends to try and arrow his deliveries waist high which get intercepted but in fairness to him we are not blessed with Dion Dublin type forwards who are deadly in air.Our crossing is woeful & was woeful last season too, I remember making a post on it back in March.
It's a major flaw in Dabo's
It’s amazing how sticking up for Walker against the boo boys turns into ‘hating Godden’.
Not remotely similar to the point .

The point is ,Walker doesn't work hard enough which pretty much has a negative impact in the side overall . you already knew that though , and so does Robins... hence benched
We didn’t lose/draw those games because of Walker, you’re being ridiculous.
Robins has a habit of bringing back/keeping in his favourites irrationally. He did it with Kelly, Hyam, and Godden. I’m not sure it proves much, in fact I’d argue it’s that habit that’s cost us more points than a striker who nearly won the game for us single handed vs Blackburn.
2 goals in 2 games says a lot of what he offersHaha , this is insane
Walker doesn't work anywhere near as hard as he needs to , if he did , he would be playing every week
We are obviously struggling with the basic argument of why he isn't playing so tell me why he SHOULD play ? What does the lad offer ?
Hyam is comfortable in possession when he has his RWB in position and the defensive midfielders in position.Yes, I disagreed with that bit too.
Hyam is... Erratic in possession imo. One minute he looks really comfortable, the next like a deer in the headlights.
McFadz is a very capable ball playing defender.
So the rest of his game is irrelevant, this used to work In 19802 goals in 2 games says a lot of what he offers
I agree that Walker has good finishing skills but his hold up play and pressing is not the best by any stretch.So the rest of his game is irrelevant, this used ro worl In 1989

If you were going to look at it in extremes, then you could say what if Walker scored and then did a Yakubu for 89 minutes - would the overall net contribution be positive? No, it wouldn´t.
I am not suggesting Walker does nothing for 89 other minutes, but he does a lot less than any of the other strikers. That has to count for something. Particularly as Gyokeres has 9 goals this season, and Godden has scored in both his last two games too.
I think there is a bit of shoving fingers in ears when it comes to Walker.
Penalties , both of which he earned and took tbhIf you were going to look at it in extremes, then you could say what if Walker scored and then did a Yakubu for 89 minutes - would the overall net contribution be positive? No, it wouldn´t.

@mr_monkey laugh , then explain why he should start ahead of godden and waghorn ? And why does Robins drop him ?
If you want I can show you the stats that show he doesn't recover the ball aswell as godden , doesn't win as many duels as godden .. show me the evidence you have to say I'm wrong...go
