The Club is pleased to announce that winger Martial Godo has been nominated for the PL2 Player of the Month Award for August.
The 20-year-old made an incredible start to the youth campaign before earning himself a loan move to Wigan Athletic for the 2023/24 season.
Martial won us our opening game of the season, scoring a superb goal in the 96th minute to help our 21s to a 3-2 win at Wolves. He was also on target from the spot earlier in the game, calmly slotting home after winning the penalty himself with his skilful dribbling.
Martial was giving reigning PL2 champions Manchester City all sorts of problems in game two and once again, he scored what proved to be the winning goal for Hayden Mullins' lads. After a scramble in the area, he showed a different side to his game, using his physicality to rise highest and nod the ball in from close-range.
Martial then scored his second brace of the season in our third and final game in August. His first goal was a thing of beauty, skipping past a Crystal Palace man before coolly slotting home from the tightest of angles.
Later in the game, he tucked home from the spot and again, it was his tricky footwork that won us the penalty in the first place.
That's an impressive five goals from three PL2 games for Martial, who is more than deserving of his nomination.
Martial will be competing for the award alongside Yago Alonso (Tottenham Hotspur), Dominic Ballard (Southampton), Jamie Donley (Tottenham Hotspur), Mark O'Mahoney (Brighton and Hove Albion), Sam Paul (Reading), Ronnie Stutter (Chelsea) and Jayden Wareham (Reading)
