Fucking hell mate - bit harsh, he’s declining a little but the guy has played a massive part in getting us where we are now.
he deserves a little respect
Fucking hell mate - bit harsh, he’s declining a little but the guy has played a massive part in getting us where we are now.Never want to see the sulking twat in a City shirt again. Seems to think we as fans owe him something. Fuck off.
Too hard?
I made one comment which clearly states it’s debatable, rather than definitive.
Thanks for debating but I’m curious about why you think that’s “too hard” and what you think my motivation might be.
Well edited.That your trying too hard to excuse goddens miss.
@Terry_dactyl nothing more sinister than the above
Are you living in my dreams?Because you want Godden to drive you to B&M and hold his hand while he buys you paint and rollers and then decorate your house together and then go for a walk in the park followed by a nice meal and a bottle of Prosecco.

Not that I am defending MG's form, but didn't he become a dad for the first time late last year? Some will know of the domestic turmoil that will cause and perhaps its catching him up. He's been a good player for us and until recently, many would have been distraught if he wasn't on the team sheet. how times change quickly.....
We have only 3 strikers if you exclude u-21s.
It's a problem area for sure in the team as none of them really are doing well in the games I've seen.
Looking at Matt Godden two misses on highlights were shocking. First half chance, what can you say about it. Could have trapped it and shot, volleyed it in or placed a simple header into goal.
Second half chance almost as bad. On left of goal and decided to shoot with right foot. Left foot across goal would have gone in as Simms had right hand side of goal covered from defender. I never have understood why professional footballers use the wrong foot to shoot with. I'm right footed too but will use my left when it's it appropriate.
I thought he was lucky to play so many games last year. I don't see he would get games in another championship team. No choice but to keep him as an option but he is really struggling to make a positive impact.
With better strikers and an extra couple of squad players , we would coast to a play off spot.
You edited your first post to ask so I edited mine to make sure you are aware of exactly what I meant.Well edited.
He's lost that half a yard of pace , he's been poor and I'm sure he won't be at the club next season.We have only 3 strikers if you exclude u-21s.

Is the rest being left to the imagination?Because you want Godden to drive you to B&M and hold his hand while he buys you paint and rollers and then decorate your house together and then go for a walk in the park followed by a nice meal and a bottle of Prosecco.
A bigger question for me is why we awarded him a new contract last summer ?!???He's lost that half a yard of pace , he's been poor and I'm sure he won't be at the club next season.
It’s a shame he’s being a moody git, yes. Never heard him get any stick at the games so unless he’s scrolling here/twitter (where there’s always going to be criticism) I’m not sure what he’s sulking about.It will be a real shame if he finishes his time here on a negative note. He seems fed up.
Barely made an effort to clap the fans yesterday. First down the tunnel. It's a proper shame.

Exactly. Said it before but if they want to seek out places like this to look at what people think then that's on them, we're allowed our opinions no matter how batshit and its basically what forums like this are for. Tagging them on places like Twitter just makes you a piece of shit.Twitter is different for me. People were tagging players into abuse. Players have to actively come here and click on threads. They’ve got a right to have social media and not have it flooded with direct abuse.
Maybe but with the way things are right now I think every player will see negative comments on twitter, no matter how they’re performing. So best ignored.Twitter is different for me.

He's been given chances but isn't taking them. What does he want?It will be a real shame if he finishes his time here on a negative note. He seems fed up.

High profile players do, they can afford it. There should be some decency involved for players at our level.If I was a pro I’d hand my accounts over to a social media management team.

I think we're in Dabo territory now. People cling to the fact he did well for us for a while and use that to justify him still being around. He should have been replaced.
We've had many players crucial to our rise, McNulty for example was absolutely vital, but I wouldn't want to still be watching him waddle around the pitch either.

We should be able to find takers. I’d like him to leave on a good note.Poor decision to give him a new deal, we will need to offload in the summer.
Who? Robins?It will be a real shame if he finishes his time here on a negative note. He seems fed up.

I just call it is I see it mate, I takes a while for me to write a player off and I don't do it very often I don't think. I think we have an exceptional group of players currently and if we don't go up this season, with one or two additions we may well go up next.In principle you are right. Although Dabo had one good season and about three others that became dreadful. Godden has had about three that were decent, and one now that is becoming dreadful. I think it's probably therefore a bit insulting to compare the two players outright, but I know what you are trying to get at.
The frustrating thing is that injuries have held him back in terms of hitting big numbers in the past, but this year he's been injury free and the goals have dried up. He looks to have regressed significantly and the miss yesterday is a bit of a proverbial nail in the coffin potentially.
Lost his man really well for the chance he missed - every cloud etc
Agree with some of the views, this years style and definitely a wider winger formation is not suited to his style as much, he has scored a lot from slotting through from the middle. 50+ goals for us is amazing, still think he has a few in him this year which would be crucial but I wouldn't be starting him right now ahead of others other than for injury or players getting leggy.
Don't get the hatred from some towards a guy who helped us get promoted twice and still trying every game, its not like he is picking up a wage and doing nothing, he is just not executing as well has he has done before.
Yea agree with this, I particularly didn't like how he was berating new team mates early this season whilst he was scoring and they struggled.I don’t hate him, but this season (and a bit last with the rumours about him and Vik) his attitude has pissed me off. Which is probably the difference for a lot. If he was banging them in he’d get support (and did at the start of the season), but you can’t be an arse and not deliver.
