I believe Martin took them for Derby. Presumably as there was no arguing or discussion the penalty taker was decided before the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll get 15-20 by the end of the season as he usually does in this league. All good strikers have poor runs and he's in a bit of one now. Really. Because he's 30 years old, and hit more than fifteen goals in the Championship ONCE in that time, in 2015-16. From what I can see quickly, Wells has made 236 Championship appearances and scored 73 goals - or 1 goal in 3.2 games. Fam has played 114, and scored 38 - or 1 in 3 games. So a better record in fact, Fam is 3 years younger and as we know he offers a fair bit Wells doesn't in other areas of the pitch. I'm not saying Wells is a bad player at all, I think he's decent, but his goal scoring record is often slightly misrepresented in my opinion. I think Wells could probably be more clinical than Fam in the right team, but I'm not sure that's us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need the left Back to take em, reckon Jay would have stroked it into the bottom hand right corner. Micky Bell took a good one, Tinman, how about Martin Scott did he take many? can't remember. Anyway get a full back on the job right or left, Phil Neal,Ray Stewart Leighton Baines all tucked em away nicely. I know Tinman wasn't a left back!!

luke_bristol Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Doing a panenka at 3-1 down is nothing to do with form or talent though. That sort of idiocy should have been coached out of him when he was about 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine once asked Martin if he was ever worried that a keeper would save his penalties as he always went bottom right (I think). He simply said, ‘No’. Reminds me of Gary Lineaker once being asked if he felt pressure taking a penalty as he only ever missed one. Again, he simply replied ‘No’. He went on to say no striker should ever miss a free kick at goal from only 12 yards, where the the goal keeper has stay on his line.

Simple Lineker was asked at what point he decided where he’d put his penalty. Expecting his answer to be something along the lines of “when I place the ball” or “I wait to see what the keeper does”, his reply was as soon as a game was over in which he’d taken a penalty he started preparing for the next one, 10 a day after training, all in the same place, until the next penalty came up. He would then have total confidence of putting it where he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I was really excited about the Wells signing and I was willing to give him time to impress, but I've been really surprised at how many sketchy performances he's put in. I'm not sure what the problem is but he needs to show his class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepton red Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 This thread is typical OTIB nonsense. NW is a quality CF who will score goals for fun in any side playing to his strengths; QPR for example. Yes the penalty was poor, but do not make him the latest boo boy target, he is a quality CF, get behind him. After all, what are the alternatives, DF?????

TomThumb84 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Fact is this. The kid had a nightmare today. Anyone who has played the game to a decent standard has one. The bottom line with Wells is that he is a proper professional and the only sharp edge we have. Semenyo despite his promise has no league goals for us, Chrissy Martin is the best non-goalscoring centre forward of all time and big Fam is off as he would have signed his contract by now if he wasn’t. What bothers me more, is that before Swansea Wells had missed 5 from 7 pens and there isn’t anyone in the club savvy or strong enough to tell him he is not on them anymore. Says loads that does.

Lew-T Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 He was not the issue today but he’s a stupid knob end doing that 1-3 down... I’ve been pretty disappointed by his performances.

TomThumb84 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 By the way I am a big fan of Nahki Wells, and a bit perplexed about Ashton Gate being a graveyard for good strikers!

You’re more likely thinking of our previous number 7 - Gordon Owen. In the space of a couple of weeks, missed a penalty vs Swindon to get us in the playoffs and vs Mansfield in the FRT final shootout (Moyes also missed). In the litany of great/shit penalties, at least Wells’ wasn’t a deliberate miss a la Tomlin vs Burton, nor as high as the legendary David Rennie effort which is still orbiting South Bristol to this day.
