I heard Clive Eakin say we missed the last 3 penalties of last season and now of course, we have only scored 1 in 5 this season.


That is shocking. 1 in 5?

Lack of backbone and and mental strength? Or just down to lack of confidence?

Or getting rid of penalty takers like LC and CB. Even Wilson took and scored one IIRC?


Apparently JOB scored our only one this season, but hasn't taken the other 5 we missed?

How can a striker be the wrong person to take a penalty?

Penalty taker

Ronnie Farmer was by far the best penalty taker I have seen, and he was a midfielder. Next season Maddison will be our 'ace' penalty taker.

Based on this season he'd probably struggle to hit the stand.

We have had several different penalty takers.

How many wrong people do we have?

all the great penalty takers have missed a penalty, but they just don't go and give up after that miss. So why do we keep changing our penalty taker?

I suppose you could say that the term 'striker' is being a tad generous to anyone but Domini Samuel this season (well ok, we can stretch that to Tudgay now but only because he scored yesterday :) )

Leaving it to a 'toss a coin at the time of getting a pen' policy can't have helped. Think that was another example of poor management by SP not having an allocated penalty taker

I was astonished when he said this. 'We don't have a designated penalty taker. It's down to whoever feels most confident on the day'. Will never forget that phrase. A clear indication that he should've gone long, long ago.
