dunsteral Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Who will our 5 (or more) penalty takers be? Given that we have only scored 4 penalties in 2017 (presumably because that is all we have been awarded), and none of the takers are still with us (abraham x 2, tomlin and cotterill), we are not exactly blessed with penalty takers in form. Who do you think will step up to the plate? Flint who walks on water will probably be willing, patterson (if he is on the pitch), pack, reid,wright would be my choices but with little confidence. Hope we dont need them (be positive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryans Left Peg Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Pack, Paterson, Wright, Brownhill & Bryan would probably be my first 5, if they were all on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynriley Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Reid has scored a penalty this season. As has fammy but he won't be playing of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Or...who do we see as most likely to miss one? Korey? Pack? Baker? Who decided Baker would take one?!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Pato, Josh, Joe, Bobby and Marlon for me. Edit. Taylor if he`s on the pitch instead of Marlon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED4LIFE Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Although I'm personally not a big fan of left footers taking penalties (yeah, I'm aware it's irrational) I would pick JB before anyone else Great technique and mentality. After him, I would go with whoever feels confident as, to me, that's more important than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that as a percentage or less misses by left footers? Obviously, more penalties are taken by right footers than left so the chances of one being missed is higher. Not arguing at all, just interested as how that stat is reached. I do suspect that it is as a percentage so you are probably right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would be the most composed man on the pitch. Nerves of steel in situations like these. If he was confident and willing, he'd be in my top 5.
