Will Goodwin end of 2023 season 12 appearances 0 goals (24 appearances and 6 goals for Torquay in the National league) aged 20.I think the majority think the same, he simply isn’t cutting the mustard and hasn’t done so for a while, easy to blame other things but he needs to take a long hard look at himself.
Freddie Ladapo first season in league football aged 23. 32 appearances and 6 goals
Ivan Toney first two seasons in league football 60 appearances 9 goals
J C-H first two seasons in league football 33 appearances, 2 goals
No-one is saying he should be at Oxford now but 12 months ago he was one of the most highly thought of 18 year old strikers in the country (not a good bell weather but he was also obviously showing more in training than Sonny Perkins) and until he plays 90 minutes week in week out at NL or League 2 for at least one season it is extremely premature to write him off. Like most teenagers he also needs to be in an environment where he feels trusted and valued, particularly as a striker.
Give the lad a chance to go off and shine and we might just have a number 9 for the future
