How time and hindsight improves the rose tint on those specs. Godden, Wootton & Goode had plenty of chances here and did little to impress. Arguably both Godden & Wootton were lucky to get the contract extensions they did. Godden eventually found his touch and Wootton his level. Goode has improved from donkey to passable L1 CB. No doubt those calling for the moving on of Hallam, KDT, Green, O’Neil et al will be claiming we made a big mistake letting them go in the unlikely event that they come good elsewhere.
Exactly.
Wootton in particularly had a good opportunity here whilst in League 1. He just wasn’t good enough, at the time. He also failed to impress at numerous loan spells in non league.
Luckily for him, it’s clicked at Notts County and he may well be ready for another crack at league football.
The Charlie Goode story truly baffles me though. Couldn’t believe it when I saw him On MOTD the other night.
