Nathan Jones: “Matty Godden is a top, top frontman. We talk about Alfie May - and Alfie was brilliant for us - but Matty Godden has got some pedigree and I felt, at times, it was disrespectful to him." #cafc
NJ continued: "The guy is a class act and today it is as good a centre-forward linkman and performance that you’ve seen here for a while. He had everything today." #cafc
In addition to the most recent posts on this thread re his finishing and movement, I was particularly impressed by his aerial ability today. He times his jumps so well and his spatial awareness is so good. Did those headers sometimes go nowhere? Yes, but often after an out-ball where the extra few seconds bought by winning the flick on to no one allowed us to regroup, too.
He leads the line excellently. It is lovely to see.
He plays about 5 steps ahead of any defenders he comes up against, his experience and hold up play up top makes us look so much more dangerous, and the ability to seemingly flick anything that falls to him in the box into the back of the net is great
Reminds me of Deon Burton in a way, except he's a poacher rather than link player. Does well in his role because he's an intelligent player, despite not being the biggest or most physical.
Always feels a sign of us having a good team when we don't rely on a big physical target man. So often in the past we're only effective when we have that type of player up front.
Great that we have Leaburn as alternative, both have had good runs of scoring this season. On paper they should play together, but we have such a good balance with TC drifting left to add width and pace, allowing Edwards to sit (but still get forward at times) and Small to get forward with cover from Ramsay.

Tim Cahill was, equally, superb in the air and yet was barely 5' 10'' whereas it was said about Peter Crouch that he was never as good as he should have been because, from a young age, he never had to jump in order to win the ball in the air. I do wonder whether that is the reason that Myles doesn't win as many flick-ons as he should given his size?

Two good League 1 players that I'm glad we signed.
I expected him to do well for us, he was a decent player for Coventry, so down a division his football intelligence is a real asset
Would have preferred his former strike partner, but Viktor Gyökeres is probably out of our price range

his touches in the lead up to the goal were Prem quality .
I also like the much maligned Luke Berry , he’s too clever for half our space cadets , players who go forward will potentially win us the play offs
