2023/24 Ben Godfrey

[samcdavies94]

He's come in, done a job, reminded us he's a useful squad member.

But it really is ridiculous to have him playing right back with Coleman, Patterson and Young all on the bench. Does nothing for the balance of the team.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

I honestly think patto and seami offer more in a combined rb sense
Take his athleticism away and he’s terrible at rb

 

[blueconverse]

Should prob learn how to head a ball if you want to do that. Him and Holgate should have been sat down years ago and told "you will never make it as a pl centre half so you need to develop other parts of your game"

Heading is a massive weakness of his, I've got serious doubts about his capability as a centre half due to his heading ability. I've mentioned it previously but he seems to duck under the ball unintentionally when trying to stretch and head a ball.

 

[Terrarian]

There's just no place at centre half for players who cannot head the ball, it's mental. Holgate is another one. he's not great on the ball either, we have too many who aren't technically proficient.

 

[mikel_88]

Think he is ok but it we can get a decent offer for him i would take it never going to be a starter at cb, would prefer better at rb

 

[Kantareller]

Outjumped? Once again? Oh, no....

 

[mistuhp]

Normal service resumed

 

[maccavennie]

A centre half (who can't jump) playing right back when you have 2 got right backs on the bench.

Sound, so he must be playing him fkr his defensive solidity yeah? Oh wait, he can't actually fkin jump

 

[pedro789]

Been done 2 weeks running.
Why can't he jump?

He is not a CB. Maybe in League 1 but not PL

 

[ah11984]

Why is he suddenly a fixture in the team. He’s terrible.

 

[mistuhp]

Before it's totally forgotten: His complete lack of any attempt to block that cross on the second goal was very similar to the Newcastle game last year where he just repeatedly let guys go by him without even attempting to get in the way.

 

[Paulie]

Sell the rugby player in the summer please. Just not a footballer.

 

[ToffeeTim]

A very poor defender
