2022/23 Ben Godfrey

[EGWToffee]

Had a shocker, but apparently been ill all week

 

[Zatara]

Itd

It’s help if he could defend like; most capable defenders can handle on 1v1

Antony is class though and the passes were pinpoint.

Made some good recoveries but positionally weak but i think its mitigated by Dyche's setup.

Hopefully he gets well for the Fulham game.

 

[Clarky cat]

He played just like “Hippy Keith” who used to do a bong before our 5 a side matches. Get well soon Ben.

 

[TommyDavo]

If any left back is left 1 v 1 5 or 6 times in the first half then its not the players fault...its poor tactics.

Not said anything about Godfrey only that its harsh to blame him for the poor setup.

He is poor at this level. That’s not his fault

 

[Sea Moose]

He is poor at this level. That’s not his fault

Yes it is.

Really regressed from that first season. Was hoping he'd come in and be an asset to the team with a bit more power and pace down the flank but he was absolutely dreadful today.

 

[Blast_of_Cannock]

Had a bad game today, but then, he isn't a leftback. I think he would have suited today's high line more than both Tarks & Keane at CB.

Or he's terrible at positioning and reading the game

 

[TommyDavo]

Yes it is.

He doesn’t pick himself ffs

He was 5-10 yds off the player each time and long balls deceived him each time. You have to read the long balls to be able to recover the space but he was just watching and jogging. Naturally he was 1 on 1 because we couldn't have McNeil helping him when we were on the attack. Godfrey simply just allowed too much space and obviously misjudged long balls. Should have had enough time to get close whilst the ball was in the air

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Centre back playing at left wing back for the high press, will.always be a problem....

He ain't a CB either. Would rather him at left back or right back than CB

Surprised we didn’t see a dip from his usual level then

 

[chippy1722]

He’s not good enough to be a right or left back, and definitely not good enough to play in the unnatural position of LB.

Even as a CB he is bad, always losses his man and has that mistake in him. Only thing he has going for him is pace.
