2020/21 Ben Godfrey

Watched the game now, lol, understandably a bit nervous when he came on but settled really well 2nd half. Played well for his debut under the circumstances and looks a good buy.
Absolute unit though.

...I think he’ll cope. Big powerful lad but probably doesn’t have the upper body bulk of Lescott or Distin. I reckon he’s a better runner than those two.

Watch the you tube of him boxing training. Plenty of upper body strength. He's an absolute unit.

Him coming on was actually a major help because the long ball outlet to Mane was very effective and Godfrey bullied him out of those in a way Coleman couldn't.

...I’ve seen that, Tom, i reckon Duncan Ferguson is no longer ‘cock of USM FF’.

Yeah the height difference and pace difference was noticeable. Mane disappeared once Godfrey came on.

I liked what I saw. Will be a boss CB. Reminds me of a Jagielkaesque defender

Be a proper dog fight that.
Wouldn't try split them up either. lol

From guardian mbm
“45 min +1: In the first of four added minutes, the free kick is half cleared, then pearled back goalwards by Thiago. It’s a screamer, but one blocked magnificently by Godfrey, improvising bravely, flinging his chest in the taking-one-for-the-president style. Magnificent play all round!“

Loved it when Hendo ran into him and he just dropped him.

The lad did very well, he looks another decent buy. This has been a good window.....

 

[stamullenblue]

Did really well and bonus he can play right back. Very promising start !

 

[Bullens Rd]

He should be made up with his debut. Really solid against the best front three in the division.

 

[ElGato]

Came on and was rubbish for twenty seconds.

Allan gave him a bollocking for not being touch tight

Man marked Mané out of the game thereafter

Great debut for him

Loved the block where the ball cannoned off his chest like it hit a steel wall. He's a CB though and shouldn't be relying on him as a RB while Coleman is out.
