2023/24 Ben Godfrey

[The Hibbert Agenda]

Very good performance , could be in line for a run till the end of the season

With Mykolenko likely out for at least one game, I imagine he'll continue at RB with Young left.

after a bad injury and long covid hes getting back to his best

Ben was immense last night. That goal line clearance sent us up a gear....when most of us thought it was on its way in. Made up for him showing what hes capable of on a rare night when our pieces fitted perfectly.

He's got that in his locker, has done it a few times this season, and an honest pro who'd run through a brick wall for you.
If only he had any ability on the ball

He's done well this season people have got on his back for not a lot but he's looked a lot more like the player he was in his first season than he has for the last couple of years I don't think he's ever going to be great but theres much bigger problems in the squad than him.

Was winding VVD (rip) up no end at set pieces too, looked like he’d been told to be his blocker, which he seems to be well suited to as I think he has a bit or (controlled) nark about him.

He did it very well. VD has gone down the nick and, like all bullies, is a coward when bullied himself.

Ben Godfrey rose to the occasion yesterday and put in an excellent performance. Top marks to the lad.

His problem is that he can put together good defensive performances like yesterday, but he offers even less than nothing going forward and he is a liability defending crosses in our box. For a team that doesn't score, when his man scores on a header, it magnifies the scrutiny on him. Unfortunately, I just don't think there is a clear position for him to thrive.

His runs forward with the ball can be effective going forward he's fast and strong he's probably better than anyone else we have at carrying the ball 60 yards forward which is a start. I agree he isn't really a full back or a centre half but for a team like us having someone who can fill in in both every now and again isn't a bad thing.

Was too strong to just be shoved aside by van dijk for set pieces, while getting the balance right and giving VAR an excuse to call a foul

Brilliant Brilliant Ben...I'm so happy that he is showing what I have hoping he would from the time he came back from that injury.

 

[maccavennie]

Excellent today.

 

[Clarky cat]

Very good defensively since he has had to come back in, excellent in the derby and another solid display again today. Well done Ben
