Part of being a well run club is having a squad depth sufficient for the requirements of the season. Zero reason to rush him back as we have the depth to cover his injury. Would have a fit Godden starting but worth waiting for him to be fully fit.
We aren't lacking attacking options in the squad and things seem to be slowly clicking into place. Luckily have goals coming from all over the pitch at the moment. No sense in rushing Godden back, just for him to break down again. He'll help with our push for the playoffs when fully fit.

The thing is, Godden is 34 now. And he's had what is evidently a more serious injury than originally thought (or originally made public, take your pick).
As much as we all hope he will come back into the team at whatever point this season and start firing on all cylinders and carry on from where he left off, I think we also have to be a bit more realistic. Unfortunately I can remember what happened to Clive Mendonca and Andy Hunt after both of their standout seasons for us. Hopefully history doesn't repeat itself here.
I find it a bit odd that Godden didn’t have the op immediately after the play off final - seems it wasn’t until after the start of pre-season. Disappointing to hear he’s still struggling with it - knees are complicated joints. GWS.

This will culminate in Godden after 6 months being taken to the vets to be put down.
