Goddard is quality
Agreed - defo something there with him. Flitcroft is often quite complimentary of "Johnny G" and he's been highlighted as the most technically gifted player in the squad. I think when fit, he could be a real option in the new 3412 shape as the 1, but he does need to start impacting games more, and put together a couple of months of good performances.

I've never been sold on him tbh. Thought we missed him earlier in the season but then when he came back from injury, I remembered why I don't rate him. Sent from my SM-G930F

He's certainly technically capable but his end product has been very poor for his whole town career. He's done it in the conference so should be capable in League Two. Needs to show it soon though.

I'm with you on this. Never been impressed with Goddard and he has such feeble upper body strength that it only takes the smallest of nudges to ease him off the ball. I think he's a bit of a shitebag really.

I think Goddard is one of those players most fans have taken to and want to do well but it just hasn't happened and unlikely to do so. He needs to go elsewhere for a fresh start. I don't think we'll miss him too much as we've currently got Anderson who can find blind alleys from free space. Good luck to the lad as and when he goes. I wish him well. Both sides had a crack at it, it hasn't really worked out.

We haven't got Anderson for much longer - last game on Saturday unless it's extended, and no word on that yet.

Isn't Goddard the TEF's player, could someone not ask him why he plays so shit when they get him as their bitch for the day (or however it works)?
I have been surprised we have not seen more of Twine after DF got all unnecessary about him in pre-season??

This. Yes he has talent but seems a little off the pace and a bit weak for league football currently.

DF said that he hoped part of his loan deal with Chippenham could have allowed him to play a part in our EFL games with them being aimed at U21 players etc. I think he rates him and could make the bench more often if several loanees go back.

Goddard is one of those players that needs to be in a like minded team to work. If he was surrounded by other players that create space and can pass first time etc etc i think he would be a good player. Needless to say that is not our team at the moment. Anderson has been the better player because his game is more direct, he picks the ball up and turns and runs at players, he is not about intricate triangles etc.
Will be sad to see Goddard go but he doesn't work with our current set up.
Not a chance Twine will be a Flitcroft player long term. Every other player he has inherited he has talked up to the media and then binned as soon as he can. Thomas/Vigs/Goddard/T Smith.

Weak, slow and little end product. He has moments but they're few and far between. Sent from my SM-G930F

You can see why JG ended up in the Conference, and you can see why someone involved in STFC thought he might be worth a punt. Just not worked out.... it happens.

Goddard reminds me of Anthony MCNAMEE in that he has flashes, and can look quite good on the ball, but when you strip that back and look at end product and there’s not a lot there

Flitcroft reckons we'll have one in by Saturday, maybe two.

They're also trying to make Anderson permanent.
