Striker
Works hard never hides being used to plug holes left by inadequate recruitment. Needs praise despite his limitations for doing a big job for the team in roles that clearly don’t suit him.Anyone else think this lad is becoming a bit of a scapegoat?
I know he frustrates at times with his decision making but he can play some good football also when in his correct position.
He has taken on a tough role at right back recently and he is clearly out of his depth in that position, but people need to cut him some slack. This position should have been addressed in January and Gooch shouldn’t be playing there.
Yesterday at the match I saw a shocking ball played to him and before the ball even got near him the fans lost it with him. Gooch ironically trapped the ball and played it back to Doyle in what stopped the ball going out for a throw in to Doncaster and the fans around me looked a bit silly.
Gooch has been no worse than most during this bad spell but nobody else gets as much abuse as this lad.
I don’t think people want him to fail and people are right to expect better but people need to cut him slack.
