Does anyone know what happened to Ben Godrey?

He's not been mentioned in team selection or any speculation.

I'm just curious.

He has stuff going on in his personal life and is unlikely to feature for some time.

Best wishes to him, hope he's alright.

I hope he’s alright, on a personal level.

I also hope he gets sent back as he’s been properly gash.

Wonder if this 'personal stuff' was going on at the time we signed him, and committed to a massive expense for one season of his services so we could play him out of position?

Bravo to all involved in this transfer

There was a discussion in the shoutbox last night about him, he is having personal trouble and there are rumours going about, but those who know are keeping quiet about the details out of respect.

I wish Ben Godfrey all the best with whatever his personal issues might be and, whatever they may be, I hope that they work out as best they can for the bloke. But, as a club, we seem to have a real knack of signing players and getting them on the payroll who we rarely (in some cases) ever get to see play for their wage. Admittedly, a few of these have been down to injury (but even then in some instances the injury record was known at the time we jumped in to sign them).... I can think of a a few who made me wonder if they ever really existed in the first place - John Ebbrell, Ryan France, Justin Haber, that lad we signed from Tranmere (under Clough), more recently we've had Jamie Shackleton and Tom Davies (although we have seen TD a few times). But it seems like we have a real penchant for signings who don't or can't deliver anything near VFM....

No it started about 5 seconds afterwards

Whatever the personal reasons are, can only hope that he and those connected are ok and that he's able to get back as soon as he can. Whenever and Wherever that may be.

Everybody but me seems to apparently...

Send him back!

Health reasons apparently. He did have long covid, so I am not sure if it is related (and no I’m not some anti-vax conspiracist).

Someone mentioned rehab on blades ramble last night in the comments asking if it was true but jimmy shot it down quickly and moved on .

Who knows. All we know is personal issues which suggest something serious but well "personal".

I wouldn't at all be surprised if he is sent back in January. I wouldn't have been surprised if he had still been available.
But to give him some benefit, he hasn't really featured for Wilder so he's not yet had a fair crack.

Well that will explain why both are shit for us. Moonlighting as jockeys on the side.

First race ever where the jockeys pulled up lame

James Wallace was the mf from Tranmere. We can also add, for varying reasons, Danny Cullip, Panos Retsos, Geoff Horsfield...
