  • So is it tightness or is he actually injured?
    I understand @ElfsborgAddick suffers badly with tightness so hopefully he might be able to educate us…
    My arms are like our bodies, short.  Consequently they fail to reach my pockets, it is purely a physical thing by going home with the same amount of money as I went out with.
  • Back on topic, it is incredible how we have bought another player who has got an injury so quickly.
  • He's got some form.
    Reckon he'll be more out than in.
  • Looked decent in today's run out, he's got plenty of running in him and timed a very good run to split the CBs and meet the cross (which was spectacular in its own right to be fair.)

    Hopefully he can stay fit now as he looks a really good option to bring on against frayed or tired defenders.
  • Don’t think Godden was brought in to be the ‘finisher’. Think he would have started the first game of the season if fit.
    Maybe. But if he's shown that actually the better option is actually to have him as a bench option then so be it, plans change and hopefully for the better.

    Personally considering where they are in their careers and the sort of players and skill sets they have. 65-70 minutes of Godden and 25-20 minutes of TC at fatigued defences sounds like it would be good to me.

    Thats before even Leaburn is back!

    And doesn't include Dixon either(once up to condition.) Honestly I'm just glad we have these options to debate instead of the recent past of having two strikers to choose from in total. Now we get to argue about which combination is best. Feels a bit weird, but in a good way.

    And Kanu
  • Lovely technique for the goal. You’ll see plenty of players be confused as to whether to volley or header that low cross. Godden committed earlier for the diving header and made a difficult skill looked easy.

    Godden a charlton fan?
    He's a Kent boy so potentially... Remember there were suggestions he possibly was when he almost signed for us when he was playing for Stevenage, but Roland scuppered that deal.

    I believe he came a few times when he was a kid 
  • He said when he signed about going on our summer schemes etc, so attending a few games too makes sense.

  • I thought he meant he wasn't on the bench but watching the game from the AC Stand. 😃

    YOU WOULD, then you could complain how long it took him to get ready to come on, and had he been quicker he might of scored more goals and we would'nt of missed out on automatic promotion  after 3 matches.

    It's the Curbs stand fella! ;)
    Might have been the East Stand still when he sat there.
  • So why does our manager barely play him?

    If he played more often his goal/minutes ratio would be worse  :)

    Godden was injured early on and seems to have missed out because NJ wanted a big man/fast man combo.

    With Ahadme out of form and injured he played Godden with Kanu which worked well against Birmingham but I suspect NJ will want some height and muscle up top in other games.

    Regardless, Godden is a proven goal scorer at this level and above, something you can't say about any of our other strikers, expect the perhaps Aneke.
