jimbobram Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Sammon should take them. We wont go down this season, we wont go up this season. Its got to go in sooner or later for him, let him have it hopefully he scores and gets some confidence back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanterburyRam Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I can see the logic in Hendrick but I'd go with Ben Davies. His set piece ability always poses a threat for us so I would suggest that his ball-striking ability could come in handy from the spot. Ward is normally reliable but I'd like to see what Davies can do. As for Sammon. I hope that he can become our regular taker and a successful one too but for now I don't think its sensible him taking them. I love the fact that he still wants to take them and atone for errors but at the moment the fans are already on his back. He's in a bit of a 'no-win situation' because if he scores people will say "well he should be scoring" but if he misses fans get on his back even more and at this moment in time I wouldn't call it sensible to open himself up for that. Concentrate on getting into form then we'll see about penos. He never fills me with confidence - v Palace and v Leeds I was certain he would miss. I hope he finds form but for now I'd prefer to see Davies, in good form, taking them. Just my opinion though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weston-super Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Martin for me. He can strike a ball clean and true and knows where the angles are. Other than that then Hendrick. Can't really believe we are struggling to name players in our team who can't even strike a ball cleanly,and Sammon does seem to have real issues with his timing and striking technique in general.

North_Stand_Ram Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 So Wardy misses his first peno for Derby after scoring every single one and we should change that? 1. Ward 2. Martin 3. Davies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 So Wardy misses his first peno for Derby after scoring every single one and we should change that? 1. Ward 2. Martin 3. Davies No - of course that's not what I'm saying but if you hadn't noticed - he's injured (and when he does play he only lasts 60 mins) - so it's a valid question.

Leicester Ram Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Clough will know his best penalty taker from training. My guess is: 1. Ward 2. Sammon 3. Bavies 4. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Not being funny as I never am but unless we've seen the full team take a few penalties how can we say who should take them? You would hope that every player in the team including Fielding could smash a ball in from the spot but as Ward and Sammon have shown its never that easy. I'm sure they do a bit of work in training on penalties and have a list of takers. Ward was first choice, Sammon second. When Ward comes back I'm sure he will continue and look to add to his goal tally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I think Sammon should be wanting to take them, like he did at Leeds, even though he has missed before. Shows desire in a striker to want to get more goals and end the dry spell, when Torres hadnt scored in ages and he was offered a penalty he turned it down because he didnt have the belief for it and ended up looking even worse than if he had missed.

No rush with your apology mate He hasn't pulled anything, it was only tight. Should be OK to play Ipswich as he did travel to Leeds before being assessed and deemed not fit. I can understand what you're saying, but you did make out that because of his miss that he shouldn't take one. But i do apologize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Not being funny as I never am but unless we've seen the full team take a few penalties how can we say who should take them? Can't remember how many we took against Ssausagehorpe but it was almost the whole team by the end! Bucko's was the best by miles! The question was only a bit of fun really but it's weird how bad strikers can be at penalties (even some of Wardy's that he has scored have only just squirmed in). You'd like to think that the strikers take them because they are the best, but in reality it's actually just a cheap way to get your goal tally up ain't it?

randombc Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I would of gone for Hendrick, if he'd scored the 3 penalties in the last few games we've had, he'd be in double figures for his goal season tally, and would increase his value if a team comes in for him in the summer, which is likely.

BorneoRam Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Ward should stay number 1, I would think Martin could take a good pen - as Daveo says they should know as they take them in training but after missing 2 on the trot Sammon should stand down whether he wants to or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Ben Davies Experienced, took them at Notts and a "set piece specialist". That would require Bavies to be a starter - which isn't all that likely unless Ward is out (or if Jacobs starts again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex W Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 So he wasn't aiming for the corner then? He scuffed it, it wasn't even a perfect strike of the ball as he intended. I realise folk are trying to praise him where they can but that was nowhere near the perfect penalty, even if it had gone in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
