Matt Godden insists that there is more to come from him after the striker opened up his Sky Blues account in Coventry City’s 4-1 win over Exeter City in the Carabao Cup.

Godden proved to be a constant menace for the Exeter backline and was rewarded for his hard-work when he notched in his first goal with a sublime header to double City’s advantage.

After joining from Peterborough United last week, the 28-year-old hopes that he can add another dimension to City’s attacking play.

“I’m delighted to get my first start for the club and my first goal as well, which is always pleasing.

“To get into the next round was the objective at the start of the night and that’s what we’ve done.

 “I try and bring a bit of everything to the team and work hard, and I’m delighted with getting on the scoresheet and being heavily involved with the third goal.”

Jordy Hiwula put City ahead within two minutes and Godden claimed that the Sky Blues’ electrifying start came as no surprise to him.

“I wasn’t really surprised no, because that’s what we’re capable of.

“We can be devastating at times going forward with the pace and the ability we’ve got as a team and the way we pass the ball around we’re going to create a lot of chances.

“It’s up to the front three, slash front five, to put the ball in the back of the net.

“That’s what I’ve come in for – to add competition to the boys that are already here.

“It’s up to me when I get the start and get the nod from the gaffer that I get my name in his mind for Saturday’s game and upcoming games.

“It’s good to get on the scoresheet tonight, especially on my full debut and hopefully that’s the first of many.

City boss Mark Robins was delighted with the impact Godden made on his first full start and believes that his experience will prove to be invaluable for the younger players.

“I don’t think he needs to prove anything to me; his record is there for all to see and I also think that he is going to improve.

“His work rate is there and he gets himself in between the posts, but when he gets the chance you can see that he takes it.

“He hit the target with a great left-footed strike that came over his shoulder – not many players that we’ve got would have attempted it I don’t think.

“Hopefully they can see these things and learn from them.”

Godden described Robins as being a ‘major pull’ in his decision to join the Sky Blues, stating: “It was really pleasing for me when I heard on the Saturday (that there was interest) and it was a no-brainer, obviously the deal was done late on the Monday night.

“With the gaffer being a striker for one of the best clubs in the world, if not the best club in the world, it was a massive pull for me.

“I had a chat with him on the Monday or the Tuesday when I first come up.

“But the boys have helped me settle really well. It’s great banter with a young bunch and it’s up to me to obviously help the younger players as well and develop them further and make them have good careers.”
