How does that work? The strikers that “terrorised” Championship defences last year went for £10m, £12m and £20m.

I think you’ll find you were the one kicking off at the mere suggestion Godden should be benched 🤣 It’s been an ok start all considered. Still think we’ll improve and a midfield addition in Jan could make us a real contender.

He’s not shit at all. One of the best finishers I’ve seen at the club, and deserves to be playing at this level. I’m just not sure he’s the striker that will get us promoted.

It is possible to simultaneously be fans of and respect Robins and Godden while disagreeing with some aspects of their tactics/play…

godden is gud cuz he run around a lot - this forum

Actually I will continue because you’ve just compared Matt Godden to Mo Salah 😂😂😂 Never mind the fact Liverpool play a completely different tactical system to us, or that we’re clearly playing slightly different to last year, it must be good for everyone because Salah does it!

Robins clearly thinks it adds something which is why he keeps playing, but I don’t think it does. Not gonna bother continuing trying to explain.

I'm actually confused at why you think that's so funny. Pressing for pressing's sake is pointless.

It really isn't. Intelligent pressing gains you an advantage through winning the ball or forcing an opponent into a disadvantageous pass (going long or playing to a teammate under pressure). When the opposition can play to another player in space and reset the press we don't gain anything...

?????????????

Bingo Godden's "pressing" is mostly running to within 5 yards of a player who then passes it on to an unmarked teammate. Might get a clap from the gammons but it isn't actually benefitting us on the pitch.

Could have been emotion, the lack of goal seemed to be weighing quite heavy on him in previous appearances.

The shot at the end was very disappointing, especially in front of 20,000 people who watched us concede at the death last week. If you are going to take the shot on at least hammer it so there’s no way the keeper is holding it.

I don’t, but when he’s playing as a wing back I’ll rate his performance accordingly.

He didn’t put any crosses in. His “1-2s” were negative, going backwards not forwards. Multiple times he received it around their box and passed it back to Eccles/Allen rather than taking his man on or whipping it in.

Strange choice imo

He got the ball in offensive positions and always played the safe option back inside. Don’t think he even made a cross.

Latibeaudiere? I haven’t at all, he’s changed my opinion and is a good option at CB. Just too defensive to play at wing back.

I would probably have given Ayari a 5 without his involvement in the goal. Lati was poor going forward, didn’t use the width or offer anything offensively. Hard to rate Kelly in that limited time so I gave him the average.

Wilson Thomas Fadz Binks Lati Allen Eccles Dasilva Ayari Wright Simms I know he won’t do it but I’d like to see Wright and Simms in from the start. Norwich will play higher and their pace would be useful.
