Inch Hearts Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Bad loss if so imo, I rate him very highly but he’s not getting much of a look in behind an exceptional Michael Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Agent Dale Cooper Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Seems fair enough. He's a reasonable player, and works hard but we can/should do better. Suits both parties to be honest, and he shouldn't have trouble finding a decent championship side or equivalent. He can then have the game time he needs.

Finlay James Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Marcus is a decent player but I'm not sure he's at our level. I can see him heading back to Canada/USA this summer. Smith is obviously our established right back and the club seem to prefer Brandon over Godinho. IMO, we have better right backs in the reserves and U-18's that could provide cover for Smith. Jay Sandison and Cammy Logan are very highly regarded at the club. Logan in particular, is very comfortable on the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnking123 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Understandably he want to play. Let him move on for a small fee and a sell on clause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkbam Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 He's very average, Brandon looks more of a prospect to me, Hickey able to cover at RB as well, I'd not miss him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David McCaig Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I have my doubts over whether Godinho is going to make it or not. It has to be a huge concern that even at 21 his ongoing knee problem means his training schedule and game time has to be carefully managed. One thing for certain is that he is no Hickey, Paterson or Cochrane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Boy Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 It’s a shame. I like him as a player. I think he could go on to become a good player over time. Obviously doesn’t want to sit on the bench and wait for Smith to get injured or suspended though. Maybe the management told him Brandon is ahead of him too?

Mike Tyson Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Both he and Brandon are miles away from the quality we need in the squad. Both have had their share of injury issues, but they are never going to make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Bit disappointed, hasn't really worked out for any of our Canadian lads, Paton - gone, Godinho - likely to go, Zanatta - last chance saloon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Loblaw Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I think he's far better than Brandon personally, but neither one are likely to shift Smith. If he wants to play more that's fair enough, good luck to the laddie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscjambo Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 1 minute ago, Ari Gold said: Neither Godinho or Brandon will be good enough. I've said this before. Not a popular opinion but I'm not sure defensively he will be at the level we need. He's an honest lad and does a job, but if we do let him go get a sell on clause in there. Don't forget young Cammy Logan played lots of reserve team football, Scotland at age group and started in the reserve cup final win. Godinho and Brandon for me are not miles ahead of him. I think letting him explore moves away is fair enough. But if he stayed fair enough as well. Long term will he be our right back I don't think so.

Alan_R Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Wish the guy all the best but should probably move on while his stock is high (getting into Canada u21 squad) should land him a decent move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1986 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Best for both worlds if he leaves imo. He did ok in the few games he played but I suspect he’s behind Brandon in CL’s eyes and we don’t need three right backs for the first team squad.

Absolute Scenes Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I'd have Godhinio ahead of Brandon, but having said that if Smith was out and Godhinio stepped in, for say, a derby game - I'd have the utter fear Good footballer but someone like Dundee United would be a good level for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upgotheheads Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 He is the kind of player we seem to produce a lot of, quite good but unlikely to be more than an average SPL player. It might be that the coaching team don't think he has much more development in him, and with Brandon available and others coming through it might be time for him to move on. He wont have any trouble finding another club at a decent level, Dundee United maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Parmesan Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Given the choice I'd want Godinho over Brandon every time, but in truth neither looks likely to be better than back-up. Hope Godinho can find a club where he can play and flourish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMFC86 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 As a few have said, really don’t think either are good enough. A lot of similarities to McHattie. Both are half decent going forward, but poor defensively and both look a lot worse after injury, which happened with McHattie too. Personally I’d let both go and bring in one right back.

Brighton Jambo Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 1 hour ago, Ari Gold said: Neither Godinho or Brandon will be good enough. Totally agree, both bang average and Godinho has had enough opportunities to show he has the opportunity to kick on and hasn't. Neither leaving would be a loss. Before people start claiming we should support young players I totally agree but only if they show they have what it takes when given a chance (i.e. Cochrane and McDonald and hopefully now Smith Irving and Hickey).

kila Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Was beginning to look good before his previous injury, hasn't really found the form again (though hasn't had a run in the team either).
