2023/24 Ben Godfrey

[Vintage]

Thought he defended fairly ok tonight but going forward he is shocking. Time after time attacks break down the right hand side because he cannot link up with the RW and can't get the ball into the air with a cross the rare times he attempts it

 

[The Hibbert Agenda]

Dyche really hates Patterson to keep playing this guy every game

Basically puts out the message to the opposition that absolutely nothing will come from the fullbacks going forward. Nothing. Must be dream for the other managers when they get the teamsheets
Oh for a baines/pienaar again.

I thought Ben Godfrey did well enough yesterday; wasn't brilliant but wasn't a disaster either.

 

[Lloydystark]

I think he'll do well as a 3 with jarrad and tarks. Not sure if it's been tried with those 2 next to him

Brighton, where he was responsible for the equaliser because he misjudged a ball in the air....

 

[Bedfordblue]

Strange he couldn’t get near the team until the last transfer window and the were rumours of a move on the cards, now he’s become a fixture…

 

[roy vernon]

He is nowhere near a premier league level player, not even in his correct position as a centre back.

 

[knowing your history]

It's hard to get worked up much in these player threads as pretty much guaranteed with the financial situation that in 12 months he'll be still there putting in similar performances in the same position he is now under the same manager.

Especially in his correct position as centre back.
In fact I bet he doesn’t know his best position himself considering he is positionally hopeless.
( also a centre back who can’t head the ball is a liability)

 

[RomanReigns]

i thought he was terrible

but you know i just have standards

 

[GoldenToffee]

Every time he was in the opposition half and received the ball in acres of space...

 

[Swartzy]

Remember we still own and pay Holgate..

 

[maccavennie]

You need to be looking like a professional footballer tonight, not some rash kid going in to win balls that can't be won and looking like a lost little boy when the balls at your feet.

Stand up, be counted and make yourself a hero.

 

[GoldenToffee]

If he can smash Diaz a few times early doors he might have a chance. As long as he doesn't get two yellows I'm sure we'll end up seeing him taken off for Young before he's sent off, which might be good for us if he's lumped a few of them in the process.
