Godden played in the championship at 19 you idiot

This is hugely disingenuous, he made 5 sub appearances then dropped out of league football and didn’t come back to this level until it was with us.

The same reason we ended up being stuck with Thorn for so long.

I'm joking mate , I hope Simms comes good , still too early to fully make an opinion, there is a concern with his goal return but let's see what happens
Click to expand...
I think Simms has come good.
His assist today was reminiscent of Adebola or Regis in their prime. On top of that performance at Leeds leading the line. The goals will undoubtedly come soon. You have to say that the summer recruitment seems to be spot on.

Yes so it's a semi decent return , one which should improve with time and experience

Yes cos a 3rd of them are in league 1, and he doesn't take penalties.

But Simms is no where near the finished article. Godden wasn't playing championship football at 22.

You’ll be saying the same thing about Simms in 5 years, he will come good lol.

Simms tried to volley past the keeper today when All he had to do was lift it over him

He panicks

Godden is a legend in most fans eyes his stats speak for themselves. 50 goals is amazing achievement at one club.

No ones really criticising him.

We are now a consistent top end championship team with top end players.

You say. "Simms forces keeper into some good saves"

I say "Godden gave keeper no chance"

That sums the situation up for me.

Godden is straight up a better finisher than Gyokeres and probably even players like Wilson, Wright and so on…

Ask yourself why he doesn’t score as many goals as those players.

As for today, great goals the second in particular was a slick finish. However, we we playing a side 4-2 down and chasing the game. Like MR said, the game was calling out for Godden and I don’t think he’d have had the same impact as a starter.

This was my exact post about Godden at the start of the season and I can pretty much just copy paste it here:


‘Glad he got the two goals. Matty Godden has been one of my favourite players of the last few years, and possibly in my top 5 ever, and was sensational in our League One promotion campaign.

Saying that, what’s with the fingers in the ears celebration? If it’s because a couple of bad eggs on twitter (sorry…X) were giving him a bit of abuse for not scoring against Leicester then it’s a shitty way to celebrate in front of 24k fans, the majority of which love him’

Change ‘24k’ for ‘18k’ and ‘fingers in ears’ for ‘being sulky’ and it’s pretty much the exact same situation. If his celebration today was in reaction to a dozen morons on twitter, rather than enjoying the moment with the 18k who paid and turned up to watch him score his 50th goal for the club no less, then again I have to say it’s a shitty way to go about things.

Whilst I don’t want him to go, if his attitude continues to be like this then maybe it is best all round if he looks for a new club, rather than taint the amazing work he’s done here.

Moved the ball on nicely today. Mostly off the pitch to the amusement of his teammates, but even so.

We do have to remember that was Tavares first game in 12 months. O'Hare looked miles off it first 4-5 games back. He still has 18 months on his contract, he's lost a year's worth of development, so worth giving him another 12 months to see if with games he will develop, he is a development player not a bonafide first team player after all. He does need to go and play games else where on loan for the rest of this season though.

I love Godden for all he has done for this football club but his biggest problem at the moment is he thinks he can lead the line for us and he just can't.

He hampers our general build up play as he doesn't have the pace to help set up and then find himself in the box whereas Gjok and Wright are happy to get stuck in and create as well as be in the perfect position in the box to hit the net he'd suit a league 1 team who would set up with him in mind and as today found loads of space against a league one team.

I'd love for Godden and Fadz to go on forever but they can't. I will always look back fondly on them though.

I'll also make a bet that Simms at the end of his career will have more championship goal and assists than Godden.

I hope Godden stays forever - took my daughter for her first game today, and she adores “super Matty Godden”

be a disaster if she sees him score 2, waves in her direction (not necessarily at her - but we told her it was) then gets sold on

I think we would get a bit more than that. And I have held my hand up on him.

He still has his Sunday league moments though lol.

I can't see those figures being true.

I still think there's a player in there, he's just been unlucky.

Simms reminds me of Chaplin. I thought Chaplin was alright but it just didn’t happen for him.

had a lot of chances that were saved, or just hit the post etc

This is the bit I don't get...I understand every player being unhappy about not being in the team. But fir Robins to have to point out to him that mins between the 3 are about the same is a shame. He's always struck me as a team player.

Matty has to realise we are improving every year as a team and squad. He has to respect that and he's Godden not God.

Ultimately that’s the difference and also what worries me about any bid for Langstaff, being a frankly world class finisher as Godden is IMO, isn’t enough on its own at this level where you need to contribute to the team for 90 mins. Is as bad as a showboating AM who doesn’t track back or a CB or GK who can’t pass these days.

Haaland gets away with it to be fair , part of our problem is the deliveries to the CF are neither to feet or any good in general .. today you saw allen give 2 balls to goddens feet in the box and he scores

And btw ,godden works tirelessly , another myth that he contributes nothing
