Gerry Daly was pretty consistent and Deano hit em very well. Can't really remember Hinton's tbh. Read a stat from some German analyst about high and wide were the most likely to be scored. Deano's fit that Bill. But for me, Alan Biley. Straight down the middle about 6 inches under the bar. Loved his pennos. Best for me, just loved the way he 'wacked em'. And an honourable mention to Nathan Ellington as my second fav, the first time I'd seen anyone wait for the keeper and then pea roll it into the other corner. Stoke away in the QF of the league Cup was awesome- never looked nervous and I never thought he was going to miss- utter confidence.

superfit Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Talking about ‘the duke’ Ellington I actually met him in the car park of Sainsbury’s of all places during the time he was at Derby and asked him about his penalty technique. He said he would keep his eyes on the goalkeepers legs in the slow run up and watch which leg the keeper shifted his weight on and simply stroke the ball into the opposite corner. And if the keeper waited until the very last moment he would simply put some pace on the ball because at the stage it’s too late for the keeper to get across. Made it sound so simple !

Hinton and Rioch were good, but Alan missing that one against Juve still hurts him and us. So many players had early success for us blasting unstoppable pens into the to corner (the perfect spot) only to stop doing that for some reason. Chris Martin and Darren Bent were culprits. I was embarrassed by Lawrence's against non-league County. Felt it was disrespectful and he shouldn't be doing that in a league game so why do it in pre-season? Mentioning Cooper I recall Derby missing 3 penalties (one twice taken) v Ipswich. Cooper saved all 3. It was on match of the day and finished 1-1.

brady1993 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 16 hours ago, cannable said: I always thought he was average save for having, genuinely, one of the best strikes in all of football. I sort of agree when he was played out wide, he seemed easy to isolate and lacked a yard of pace. Personally thought he looked a more complete player when playing as one of three in a midfield where he could pick up pockets of space and get more involved in the interplay in midfield. I suspect long term that's where it will click for him but perhaps needs to physically mature a bit more and for someone to chance on him playing there long term.

I was there right behind the goal at Maine Road. My mate turned around to me as Quinn saved and said ” We are down then”! Thoroughly miserable season all round.
