2022/23 Ben Godfrey

[blueblood]

Thought he did well against a tricky opponent today. His pace is a massive asset. Was reassuring to see him on the half way line when we had a corner rather than Coleman, much better protection against a counter attack. I’d keep him in over Mykolenko.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Pleased to see he kept his place and think he should for the next few.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

He’s not the most savvy of defenders, but his athleticism is clear. Will have the occasional shocker. It is what it is

Was decent today though

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Plays of front foot attacks the ball in the face of his opponent. The kind of player and probably person who has your back, (mentality) reckon he will become invaluable to Dyche and our back line.

 

[Goodisongang]

Infinity times better than mykolenko

 

[pedro789]

Did well + glad he's back.
He's aggressive. Every side needs that.
Good for morale.

Myko just hasn’t shown to me that he has any traits that stand out apart from maybe the occasional strike (when he actually gets into attacking positions which is never). His attacking awareness is bad. He isn’t very athletic and has started to become inconsistent on the defensive side.

Godfrey has game changing athleticism which is at least something we can use. Sorry Myko nothing personal. Get better kid

He can't control a football though which is a slight issue, poor with the ball at feet, not a CB but not a FB either imo.

He can defend better and stronger than Myko. He should stay at LB.

What?! myko is a solid defender. He does have brain farts but so do the rest of them. Godfrey is a better athlete, I’ll concede that. Godfrey has more pace, I’ll concede that. Godfrey has more of an attacking mind, I’ll concede that.

Myko is a better defender.

I don’t agree. I think he’s crap. Just look at the goals we conceded vs Arsenal. Dreadful positioning. And Godfrey is more dominant in the air than Myko.

God Ben is better than Mikey O'Lenko.

Ben won’t get bullied by opposition. Being aggressive and has the pace to recover are his strength.

Maybe but we have more chance to get points if Godfrey stays at LB. I think Myko is Championship level player.
