Sidd10 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 7 minutes ago, Carl Sagan said: Oh gawd. Rooney in his interview saying he asked the players who wanted to take the penalties. And that after we put our best penalty takers first in the shootout. If you follow the science you put your best penalty takers last and you never ever ever ask the players at this stage. Got away with it. Surely we have some sports science people at the club? Onwards and hopefully upwards. What? If you follow science as you say your best penalty taker might not take one... just like Ronaldo for Portugal in a shoot out if i remember... the other time were sprinting forward celebrating and he hadn't taken one.... great science lol r_wilcockson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Sounds like a good match I didn’t see any of it but we have lost games like that in the past. How did Morrison do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 2 minutes ago, Tamworthram said: Not sure about that. I can see the merit in your best penalty taker going first to get off to a good start rather than risk chasing the penalty shoot out. If your best penalty taker goes last, there is always a risk he wouldn’t even get to take one. Obviously we're talking fine margins. There are reasons for putting your best first as you say, but statistically it's better not to. The rationale is of course that the pressure builds through the shootout so you need your most reliable taker at the end. And you're not, for instance, left with a 19 year old rookie taking the decisive penalty in the final of the Euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franks Tanked Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Good bit of entertainment that. Watson and Ebosele had decent games. Just wish Stretton found the net too when he had that chance.

Chester40 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 The 'it will be quiet on here because we won' brigade will be greatly disappointed by the volume of praise coming Derby's way!! We looked weak defensively but grew into the game and deserved to win. Good mentality. Ebosele was a menace, Watson has an eye for a pass, Morrison really took control of the game second half. Williams at full back looked steady. Plenty to be pleased with. Negatives - centre back pairing was really weak and Allsop is not ready for the first team on tonight's showing.

Ghost of Clough Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 6 minutes ago, Collo_DCFC11 said: Festy is a bit of an anomaly and it showed tonight. Frightening pace and direct dribbling ability but his technical ability and decision making is awful. Will still be a very good option to have and will scare teams to death because of the former. I can only assume you're referring to his passing range and end product? Try focusing on a players strengths and nor his weaknesses... his strength is is strength. Someone in another thread a month ago said he'd get bullied by lower league footballers, we certainly didn't see that tonight.
