Yea, he made some great runs, and his movement was excellent. Palmer and Hamer looked to pick him out, but that may be because they are more used to playing with him and new where he'd be.

I thought the back 3 looked quite good considering they only just met, Palmer and Hamer were different class, Sakomoto could be a handful if played further forward, Sheaf grew into the game and took his goal well. Desilva got forward well and looked quite good, Simms wasn't at his best and Collins was very suspect at times.

No injuries was a good result.
I said yesterday that we don't look ready for the big kick off next weekend, and I stand by that.

We look like we'd benefit from a couple more weeks and another friendly against top class opponents.

Godden did change the game in the POF

but I still think that robins thinks we need better

and I agree

Well if we are playing 2 up front, we need more than 2 options-we'll being at least 1 more forward in.

Everyone likes to talk about how I rate godden , but nobody ever comes up with a solid argument as to why they think he's shit whilst the manager clearly rates him .. you aren't just disagreeing with me are you , its the manager who consistently picks him too

I thought Simms just looked like he needs minutes, and that seemed validated by him playing the full match. His positional play and instincts seemed sharp, but it felt like he was just slow to get moving and his short passes not quite dialled in.

I didn’t realise before seeing him in the flesh just how big he is, I think he’ll be a much more physical presence than anyone else in the team - maybe we’ll even score from the occasional corner.

Im not worried about him. I’m too busy being worried about the new keeper and the angle of the checkerboard on the away kit.

Robins ofcourse would like better , but don't make out Robins doesnt rate matty highly , because he's always on the teamsheet and being praised even when our fans are saying he's played shit

No fair comment he does like him, hope he bangs them in and shuts me up

godden is a player that divides opinion on his role, I see your point of view but sometimes for me he Doesn’t do enough

I don't get the criticism of Godden. I criticised him for his lack of involvement in the game last season, he's involved now and getting on the end of things. The goals will come.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that it improved before next weekend.
At least he worked hard and got into the right positions

You have to agree that there were times in games back end of last year where he completely wasn't involved at all.

If the rumours around us wanting knew forwards are true, like you said it seems that Robins thinks he can do better.

He's the only player I can remember with such a good goal to minute ratio that gets talked about like he's wank all the time , literally scored the goals to fire us up etc .. whilst our fans literally fell over themselves to wank off some terrible strikers over the years

Golden played well and he attempted the most eeforts on goal including 2 great stops from there keeper.
Thought Gus coming on made the world of difference also Palmer good on the ball today backed up by sheaf.
We need Wilson back as Collins distribution wise was rubbish.

I understand , and I reiterate , the manager kept picking him whilst you lot on here said he wasn't good enough , the manager that took us to Wembley.. I'd suggest it's half this forum that knows nothing .. let's be honest that's hardly breaking news either

To be fair in those games who were we going to play over him? Maguire? Wilson-Esbrand?

Walker , the box .. even at Wembley we looked better once godden came on

Point is Robins kept playing him when he didn't have too .. why ? Because we were doing well with him in the team

Why are we criticising players before the seasons even started? None literally none of our players are half fit let alone fully fit, of course they ain’t going to be going balls out.

would you run a marathon without weeks if not months of training?

He's done us well , been worth the fee paid , scored the goals to get us up , always works hard and helps the team in roles that he might not want to play ..

Can't complain

Oh and his kid support city too

Players locked in the changing rooms and told to 'sort it out amongst themselves' apparently. Not looking good.

Robins says another 3 and then take stock of what else is needed.

Sounds like 3 permenants and then a question over whether we need to use our loans.
