2020/21 Ben Godfrey

[Drumblue]

I keep reading that he played RB

He didn't. He played in a back line of 3. He needs time but let's not use that as an excuse

Holgate would have been a better option today at RB with Godfrey and Keane as 2 CBs.

 

[AussieToffee11]

Thought he was solid, but thought the back three as a unit was all over the place.

benefit of the doubt that they’ve played in a new system together for the first time after being able to train it once.

Expect a big improvement next week.

Feel a bit for him at the moment. He’s had a big move to a bigger club and he’s being played in positions he’s not used to. Doesn’t quite look comfortable yet but I’d like to see him as part of a centre back pairing for a few games.

 

[Cameron Manning]

Keane is our most inform defender

the question is who partners him

holgate - we got murdered by man utd with the crosses but it was hit first game back

mina - looked solid at first but crumbling faster than a cadbury flake

godfrey - haven't really seen them as a duo yet

branthwaite - looked solid at the end of last season as a pairing

Keane is our most in form defender? He’s one of the reasons we concede two goals every week and he hasn’t missed a game this season, still plays like a choir boy, nowhere near aggressive enough.

I’m baffled as to how highly some of our fans rate Keane. He’s such a passive cb and his passing is dreadful. Constantly just plays it to Pickford. His positional sense is absolutely awful. Good centre backs have a habit of being in the right place at the right time, the old magnet head phrase. He never is....

I don’t recall any of the goals being Keane’s fault

Against man Utd it was holgate’s positioning that was poor

Keane has always managed to be in the right place at the right time and hasn’t made a mistake that has led directly to a goal

He also contributes at the other end with goals

 

[Groucho]

So.

Thoughts.

 

[Leylo]

Looks a bit suspect on the ball ,time needed probably

 

[maccavennie]

So.

Thoughts.

I think he'll be fine mate, he'll settle down and by the end of this season I expect him to be one of the main centre backs.

We've got good options at the back and of I was Mina I'd be very worried about my position in the team after some indifferent displays.

 

[nsno-chris]

Thoughts??

He’s a kid who has played one season in the PL but should be sold and burnt at the stake because he hasn’t looked like maldini

 

[PhilRegan]

There's a player in there

 

[Caolam]

I think that when he settles in he will be fine either in a three with Keane and Holgate or as a partner to Holgate or Keane and maybe Braithwaite.

 

[Brownie]

Started the move for our third goal by contesting a high ball rather than sitting off and watching, which was nice. BUT his shoulders are dead weird and hunched up 24/7 so it's swings and roundabouts really.

 

[blue61]

I'd play him instead of Mina, who's playing like his sister Dolly.

 

[Joey66]

Not a right back imo -
