ITSD Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Given the playoffs are almost upon us, and the dreaded 'kicks from the penalty mark' are a possibility, who would be your five? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Christie or Olsson will take one, a full back always seems to take a penalty for some reason. Penalty shoot-outs are where you find out who of your technically gifted players don't actually have any balls. My choice 5 though would be same as above. Of course, it depends who's on the field and I don't think Weimann, Butterfield or Johnson would be out of place taking a penalty. Bent I'd be nervous as **** (more so than others) but he'd probably score. Wouldn't trust Russell, Hendrick or anyone else for that matter really, despite many others probably being capable. I'd be scared if anyone else stepped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Anyone who is willing to just run up and smack it. Anyone skipping about to dink it or gently side-foot it either side of the keeper can go to the back of the queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 The 5 that really want one. No use sending up players that don't have the gonads to take one and if any of them try anything fancy leave them out the next trip to Dubai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over thinking it is how you **** it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over thinking it is how you **** it up. It annoys me when a player will stroll up and just stroke it a foot or two either side of the centre, gently along the floor. The commentator always says "what a cool penalty!" Yes but it wouldn't be if the keeper dived that way. The keeper will always dive. Just hit it hard and down the middle and the only way you'll miss is if you blaze it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Bryson, Martin (just), Hughes,Keogh, Thorne. Johnson ID give one if Hes on. JR and Ince I'm not sure. Keogh just because the haters would love to have a whole summers worth out of him missing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 The keepers will be studying videos of the last however many pens a team and their players have taken, which does make it extra hard. They also need to stand tall for some of them and not simply dive and guess. At different times Martin, Bent and Russell have been our "official" penalty takers so they should be safer bets than others if on the pitch, but there's more video of their technique. One question is, do you bring Bent on with a minute of extra time left in order for him to take one? I would say yes if there's still a substitute spot to use. My top 5 would be: Martin Russell Bent Bryson Ince with Thorne, Hughes, Butterfield, Keogh in reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If either the second leg or the final (fingers crossed) went to penos, I'll be praying for Carson to bail us out I agree. I would say when Martin and Bent have lashed it high into the top left corner (as they face the goal) it's been unstoppable, but when they've gone for something different more often than not it's been saved. Bryson's hattrick penalty against the gumps was very fortunate (I can say that as I've got his boots from the day!) and Russell was pretty hit and miss. In Carson we have a brilliant keeper. But there are some who are much better than others when it comes to spot kicks and I have no idea if he is or isn't one of them. But I really hope him and Zub (and Mitchell) are busy watching the videos and having players practise against them in the style of the Hull penalty takers.

valleyram Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 don't really care as long as they hit it hard and low , the placed efforts are easily saved if keeper guesses right way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Martin bent Johnson ince butterfield. If they are all on the pitch at the end, we would have been losing tho. As for the keeper I am convinced if a keeper just stands up and doesn't dive he is more likely to save a few with either hands or feet. Can't do it for all five tho or gets too predictable. Ideal for when a defender is taking , as they tend to go more power than placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
