Now up to joint 3rd top scorer in league one for the season, 1 behind the 15m man.Do play off goals count towards season tally? I assume not.0

Genuinely think sniffer dog is an offensive name for him, he's so much more than that.
Only downside is his age, what a player.4 -
The two goals he scored today were top class.16

With that age comes his experience, I think alot of that has helped TC this year. Leads the press from the front, real quality signing2 -
Where might we have been if we started the season with Godden up front instead of Ahadme! Godden may have even won the golden boot!9

Great player at this level.
Shame he's not 5 years younger he could go on to be an absolute legend for us.2 -
2nd goal was very Mendonca-esque.21

I don't mean his age in his performance now, just more so his longevity with us.fenlandaddick said:Braziliance said:Genuinely think sniffer dog is an offensive name for him, he's so much more than that.

If he performed to this level I'd be happy with him for another 5 years, just a shame that's unlikely.0 -
Wish we’d signed him 5 years ago, class finish and composure for his 2nd goal, gutted for him, he didn’t get a hat trick, hope he’s saving it for the playoffs / final.8

Not sure he would have done so well under other systems and managers. The perfect NJ type of player1

Although given his age I wonder if being eased in helped.CAFC_boi said:Where might we have been if we started the season with Godden up front instead of Ahadme! Godden may have even won the golden boot!0 -
Wasn't it that he wasn't fully fit?North Lower Neil said:

Did he pick up any injuries in preseason?3 -

A quality striker - so clever and such a great first touch and finish - just give him the ball in the final third and he will deliver3

And of those 21 goals i'd say most of those have come from open play as well?3

All things that were said about Alfie May, to be fair, albeit May was a bit quicker than Godden (although Godden is also a bit quicker than he maybe looks at first glance). Godden does most of the things May did, some of them better than May. He also does more than May could - he wins more in the air than his height entitles him to and some of his link up play and layoffs are a clear step up on May. He also leads the press very well and with more discipline than May would’ve done. You can see the extra class he has that has allowed him to play in the Championship compared to May having never done so yet.Scoham said:Such an intelligent player. We’ve had bigger, stronger, quicker and trickier strikers, but he anticipates so well, makes the right decisions, shows good movement, is so composed etc it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t stop him scoring goals.I was very disappointed when we sold May, as much as anything because of what it said about the level of out ambition. NJ was completely correct about this one though and I’m not sure we could’ve got a better fitting replacement for the way NJ wanted to play.
It’s a close run thing between him and Taylor for the second best striker we’ve had in League One (after Yann). He also has to be one of the best strikers that will be appearing in the playoffs and I can’t see the occasion of those games fazing him.6 -
What a striker. Man love for this geezer.6

He’s a class act , him and Berry get my juices flowing , intelligence and class oozing out of them and affect the game in a positive manner.
Them and TC are the ones who can win us the play offs , the rest may get us to a penalty shoot out with some shut outs .You’d want no one else stepping up to take our first penalty in the shootout than Godden12 -

I voted for Godden as POTY when the vote opened. Big fan of him on and off the pitch, and like how he talks about the club.Cant deny that Lloyd Jones did deserve the final trophy, but would have liked to see Godden make third behind him and TC (not that Coventry hasn't been good. Nice to have a proper battle for the top 3 unlike past seasons when it's obvious who it will be)6

Quality goals yesterday. Let’s hope his age puts off any other clubs but look what Vardy achieved over 30 years old ..2

Right now he still looks fit and strong and has a burst of acceleration about him that makes it look more likely he can play on a few more years rather than being one age is catching up with.Valleysarr said:Quality goals yesterday.

he looked frustrated at times yesterday once he'd scored a couple - he was so bang on form that all he needed was to be given the ball and he would have scored and there was at least 3 occasions when he should have been fed in but our players just weren't as a live to it as he was - he's a class act and we are lucky to have him10

Just a class professional on and off the pitch0

His career has never been about pace. It's about taking up good positions, and clinical finishing.Exiled_Addick said:

I reckon he's still got a good couple of years.5 -
He reminds me a lot of Kevin Phillips, whose game was very similar and who also played until he was 40

A bit like fox in the box Francis Jeffers with the added bonus of goals.SteveACS said:

One of those where he hasn't got speed in the sense of he can run a sub-11 second 100m or anything like that, but in terms of quick 2 of 3 metre adjustments in the box keeping on his toes and his speed of thought, he's a real handful. Like a reverse Josh Magennis.1
