Yeah Zat, it's not like everybody has been in the Godfrey party since day 1 or nothing.

Read the thread...

Absolutely brilliant today.

With a full squad available he is currently my first choice at CB, him and Keane or Mina

Said it last week him and Keane would be my first choice CBs he's just had to wait for his opportunity, and he's took it.
He has a massive future ahead of him and hopefully he is with us for a long time.

If he has a good reading of the game and positional sense as a CB (which i know is his natural position) we have some 'kin player on our hands.

For a young black English CB there are few people more awesome to get hyped up by than Rio Ferdinand. Fully warranted too.

I read that too . Godfrey must brilliant if Rio has kept tabs on him. He usually ignores players unless they wear red or claret and blue .
High praise indeed.

Typified exactly what we were missing against Newcastle.

Ben Godfrey first half ....

I feel more reassured with Godfrey and Olsen at the back, Mina and Keane are good together as well but the recovery pace is brilliant on Godfrey. Going to be a top top CB this kid.

Ha. I'm sure Rio is Godfrey's and Holgates sports manager

He hyped him up loads when we first signed him too.

@JLW what's so funny about my post I'm confused?

 

[jazzy]

Kudos to Brands for this excellent signing....and I'm not a fan of the Architect

.....I noticed little differences in our play that I think we’re down to having him in central defence: the keeper taking free kicks out wide in the middle of our half; the keeper launching the ball from our area and Mina/Godfrey immediately sprinting upfield: not nearly as much deep possession play.

For those who saw him as full back & support CB behind Holgate in the queue, you will soon get used to him being our first choice CB. The one weakness is that he’s not as aerially strong as Keane or Mina but neither was Kevin Ratcliffe. Whether we sit deep or play a high line, he has the engine to protect the space behind, just shepherding the ball out might not seem significant but if he’s not there then an opposition forward will be.

He’ll need to bed-in but Godfrey is the future at CB, I’ve never had a moments doubt about that.

Ferdinand constantly bigged up Ashley Williams, he’s a bellend.


Godfrey is good though
