On the highlights it looked a clear penaltySurprising lack of discussion about the critical importance of VAR on this forum today….
Is it cause he’ll likely leave ?? I don’t get it
Don't get the animosity here. Robins has said no set penalty player do Vik backed himself and scored. He's joint top for assists which puts him fairly high up in the championship standards. He also happens to be our most valuable player but let's keep picking fault yeah...
But if it was the other way round and Vik let Godden take it and he missed you could say exactly the same thing... Godden doesn't have a right to take the Pen and nor does Vik...It's not animosity, it's about removing the chance for a potential issue to develop.
Vik scored and Godden handled it superbly, but if he'd missed and Godden had sulked it could have been a very different afternoon.
Just because that didn't transpire doesn't mean it's a good way of doing things.

That's why the manager should nominate a taker!
Remove the ambiguity!
MR explained why he doesn’t nominate and seemed a reasonable explanation.That's why the manager should nominate a taker!

I did wonder if that was Robins the politician, trying to keep the peace.it’s pretty odd - in the interview robins admitted godden always scored and Gyokeres is so so but said it’s up to them to decide

No , I'd want matty godden taking it who has a 100% conversion ratiowell injury time next Monday and we get one and need it I wouldn’t want them standing arguing over the ball
I guess on the day you'd want the person most up for it to take it rather than Someone have to? What is they have a slight muscle injury that isn't enough to go off etc. I don't like the idea of our own players scrapping for the kick much either!That's why the manager should nominate a taker!

Probably the diplomat's answer for the interviews. Bet his response in private is a little different... and atm we're winning, so he doesn't want everyone to fall out just yet!it’s pretty odd - in the interview robins admitted godden always scored and Gyokeres is so so but said it’s up to them to decide
Yup, never let us down with penalties, should always be first choice until and unless he says otherwise.No , I'd want matty godden taking it who has a 100% conversion ratio

And it does show he has a strong temperament, can handle pressure better than many... was also one of his better penalties for us! Was actually a good one but...I mean if you score it doesn't matter does it , but should you miss and results go against us then starts the inquest .
Vik provably felt he needed the goal , and thankfully he scored
Not sure I believe Robins on this one. I think he’s purposefully playing it down. Has Vik ever taken a penalty when Godden is on the pitch before?Don't get the animosity here. Robins has said no set penalty player do Vik backed himself and scored. He's joint top for assists which puts him fairly high up in the championship standards. He also happens to be our most valuable player but let's keep picking fault yeah...
Not really he didn’t want to make an issue. Thing I took from his answer was he thought godden handked it brilliantlyit’s pretty odd - in the interview robins admitted godden always scored and Gyokeres is so so but said it’s up to them to decide
Bidwell a certainty. McFadzean would put himself forward I reckon, but whether he could actually last 120 minutes at Wembley...I admire Vik's confidence, though unfortunately I don't share his confidence when he's stood over a penalty!
I was wondering if we end up in a playoff shootout who the takers would be.
Godden and Gyokeres. Hamer surely. I reckon Doyle would take a good pen. Bidwell maybe. Walker if he's on the pitch.

Question would be if Allen was fully fit by then, whether Godden would start I guess.Doubt godden could either - you’d hope he can and Gyokeres Walker godden Bidwell hamer I would think

Certainly a logic in bring him on later when the game is more stretched.
Could have demanded itwhat choice did he have? It was poor and shouldn’t be repeated
Could have demanded it
Lol course he could it was assertive and confident as well as poor lolHe can’t demand it can he - Kelly ended up arbitrating - it was poor and that’s it
