Goodwin, is not going to be chosen ahead of Carney as a left sided midfielder and it would be foolish to play him as a left back when Gallaway is a better defender.
Unfortunately for Goodwin, he either has to become a more defensive type player and spend less time developing his attacking game, or he can try and progress his attacking style with very little if any game time.
I like Goodwin and wouldn't like to see him go but for his career a move to where he gets more game time in his preferred position might be what's best for him. [Assuming he prefers to play a more attacking role]
I don't think Gallaway has the potential to be as good as Goodwin but as a dependable no frills left back he's already proven - regardless of what many say.
