Not just based on tonights poor showing, as it's unfair to judge anyone in a friendly, but i just don't think he is good enough if we want to move beyond a relegation scrap each year.
He's poor on the ball and positionally unaware. I don't know how many of the goals we conceded over the last 2 seasons had him 1 yard and 1 second behind the play, but from memory quite a few. It's those margins that matter at that level.
His pace to recover gets him out of alot of situations that his poor decision making and positional awareness puts him into.
But lets keep him at cb this season, no more filling in at left and right back, and if he hasn't improved by the end of the season get rid while we could get our money back.
I hope I'm wrong and the lad kicks on as he has shown potential in glimpses and seems like a good lad.

I think there's a player there but he's got a lot of work to do.
Mark my words, teams will allow him to have the ball and press JT because they know Godfrey cannot pass. He's really got to improve on that.
Holgate broke his toe in the pre season friendly so he was out till the November so probably one of the reasons they went and got Godfrey

Would be a nightmare to play next to as a centre back - positionally not switched on, marking poor in the box, weak in the air, distribution ain’t great. Has attributes but overall a weak link and looks like a relegated Norwich player from a team that shipped goals for fun.
People have tried to blame playing next to Keane for his erratic displays, I’d say it’s the other way around. The reality is he’s just not as good as a lot of people wish he was.
Really big season for him and needs to show improvement and consistency. With three centre backs he’ll have lots of chances to play.

Still learning the trade. Not sure he's been helped by being shunted all over the backline or not having settled partners.

He’s mid twenties. He’s never gonna be a particularly good CB I’m afraid.
