Taz Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Having heard a few comments about him from last weekends game, I was looking forward to witnessing how good he was first hand. One statement I heard today was that he could beat Murray for pace!! Didn't believe it. Until of course I saw it with my own eyes. He's fast. At times during the game especially in the second half, the ball was being passed out from defence, given to Goodfellow who would then run at pace up the pitch. Something that we have been missing since Mr Murray left for Reading. He was also on the receiving end of a couple of tough challenges. Did he stay down and roll around? No. He picked himself up and carried on. My only major concern, is that he seemed to cut in on his left foot quite a bit (well you have to expect that from a player that is prodominantly left footed I suppose!!) Looked very lively though, and perhaps would have had more of the ball in the opening 10-15 minutes if Carey could have got his passing sorted out earlier!! If during the summer we were able to bring a good right footed midfielder in, then I think that Goodfellow will take over from Aaron on the left hand side, and cause opposition sides a lot of damage. First impressions - very impressed. Scored his second goal in his second game for the club, and as already said looked very impressive. If he can carry on playing like that, and scoring a few along the way, then ladies and gentleman we've got ourselves a bargain. Still early days yet, but the signs are very encouraging.

myoudale Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 i think he looks to be a realy good player needs to get familier with our play and our boys need to read what he is going to do with the ball ie through ball i think when wilkshire comes back they will link up well and with balls from tins across the park will do nicely i did see an incling of a young scott murray today with pace (real quick off the mark) and running at defenders at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gater2 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I thaught he did really well, he's got real pace and he'll ask questions of a lot of defences. He's a bit like Scott Murray, but cuts inside a bit earlier and more often than Scott ever did. He should end up with quite a few goals this season.

England Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 In truth - disappointed - he has pace, knows where the goal is, but his crossing and passing(apart from once) was woeful. But two goals in two games can't be sniffed at, Murray NOT, but maybe a decent replacement but only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I disagree with a lot of you by the looks of it. Id class him as only about the 3rd or 4th best player for us today. He has a lot of pace and is good at dribbling, but was cutting inside a lot, as he doesn't appear to have a right foot. If he were to play on the left though....

Ashcott Boy Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 He looked good today. I thought in the second half he laid off good balls to Peacock who held it up well. I think we will get the best out of him when he is on the left because he cut in nearly everytime he got the ball. But this could take Danny along time to figure out. Overall a very good home debut capped off with a well taken goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WestburyRed Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I was a bit concerned after reading all the comments about him dissapearing after taking a heavy challenge, but he just wouldn't stay down today! Took some fairly hefty whacks and challenges and just got up and ran off ready for the free kick. Was impressed with him generally, playing on the wrong bloody wing though!

Guest BCFC Matt Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 He seems a decent player with a very direct and attacking minded game which, we, the fans love to see! 2 goals in to games lets hope his run continues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc seattle Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 so played for two clubs and scored for both in first apperence and first start. Hope he does better here than at stoke, so far so good. I'd like to plug him in one of the wings for the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cider gliders Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 What a player, he ran rings around that Chesterfield defence! and capped it off with another good goal! City are on a roll now! Keep it up lads! UP THE CITY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest city slicker 71 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 just the ticket, and when Wilkshire comes back, who knows? Also, it could make Aaron play to his full potential. I smell success! COWSHEDDER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider head Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 just the ticket, and when Wilkshire comes back, who knows? Also, it could make Aaron play to his full potential. I smell success! COWSHEDDER he was very, very fast down that flank today oh it remined me of scott murray.. LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A NEW RIGHT WING IDOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lockerman Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I must say that I was well pleased with what I saw but I just wonder why Carey had to wait until the second half before he decided to start passing to him,Carey didthe same when Wilkshire started playing for us he for some reason seems to have a new player phobia. And as previously posted I can't wait to see him playing with Wilkshire, Exciting times ahead, I also think that in time he will prove to be a better player than Murray, (Hope that's not the kiss of death) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bs3 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 In truth - disappointed - he has pace, knows where the goal is, but his crossing and passing(apart from once) was woeful. But two goals in two games can't be sniffed at, Murray NOT, but maybe a decent replacement but only time will tell. I have to disgree with you England. I thought he passed the ball very well. What he did well was to pass the ball to feet. He got pace but he also got a football brain. Some people are comparing to Murray for me he is a bit more like Tinion whan he first came to the club. But he does seem a little light weight at time up against a phsical Chesterfield team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thetruecitytillidiefan Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Looks a good buy so far. Scored to good goals and his work rate is very good. As some of you have already said, he did tend to cut in on his left foot, but surley that good, if needed it gives us another string to our bow. Aaron Brown I thought had a terrible game. In that circumstance we can pull Goodfellow to the left and play Roberts on the right. With such a big squad and players who can play in lots of positions will do us the world of good.

DolmanDudess Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Do agree with the left foot Taz and i would really like to see him on the left infront of Aaron with Roberts on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedUn Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Murray NOT, but maybe a decent replacement but only time will tell. He's two years younger than Murray was when he signed for us and he's a darned sight better player now than Scoot was then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
