There have been a few insights into this.


 * In Volume 1's fourth chapter, a goblin was left out of his group's spoils because he was on guard duty and didn't participate in killing the invading adventurers. You can see this visually in Chapter 4 of the main manga.
 * In Volume 4, a goblin had to wait his turn because he was currently on sentry duty. You can see this visually in Chapter 4 of Goblin Slayer: Brand New Day.

Though they are weak monsters, they aren't dumb enough not to know their own roles.
