Tyler Durden Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Pretty inevitable conclusion tbf. Quite disappointed to have battled so hard to get to this point then we meekly throw it away. Penalties aren't a lottery despite all the esteemed opinions of the Radio Derby commentators to the contrary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Don't really get why we make two subs at the death for them then not to feature in the penos. Otherwise a sterling effort in the circumstances dabber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jourdan Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Given how small and stretched the squad is and given we lost 6-0 on our last visit, that’s a very creditable performance. We have to take encouragement. Any version of Liverpool at Anfield should beat a top half League 1 side in 90 minutes. The fact they didn’t speaks volumes. A win v MK Dons and things are looking up.

Best penalty taker I’ve seen at the Rams and I include Gladys and Bruce in that. Steady on?. I would have given Wildsmith the 5th pen, sliced into the top left at high speed.

Carl Sagan Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 7 minutes ago, Reggie Greenwood said: Lad stepped up we don’t know if the others didn’t The science of taking penalties decrees you pick your penalty takers in advance and stick to that. You do statistically worse if you you ask people "who fancies it?" and then go with whoever steps up. I hope and expect Warne will know that. And despite Dobbin being such a poor finisher in open play, maybe he's excellent at taking pens in training? jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstaRam Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Penalties just isn't our thing I guess. Had a season with Wilson when one could be quite confident but now we are back to our usual selfs. Great overal performance though and not the worst way to exit this cup I guess.

I feel like if you had a scale of great to awful penalties, ranked 1-10, those 3 we had saved would be a 4.5 I mean they atleast hit the target.

Kernow Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 It seems like it was a great day out and a honourable performance. With the Torquay replay, not having another game isn’t the worst thing. We’re also going to set a record for the most penalties faced in one season, surely. Two shootouts and about 65 conceded in the league, we must be close already.

For example, England’s Euro final penalties were bad. The two we missed the other week were bad. Tonight’s were better than those. A penalty is a an awful one if you miss the target, or whether the keeper can actually wait for the player to shoot and still save it. Firmino’s penalty was the worst of the night. But ultimately, from 12 yards, it’s a poor penalty if the keeper saves it by guess the right way. Either it hasn’t been hit accurate enough in terms of of the corner, or it hasn’t been hit hard enough. If a player can pass the ball to feet from 12 yards without any problem, it’s clearly a mental issue if they can’t hit it within two yards of the post when aiming for a corner. Id rather just see players hit it high. Yeah one might balloon over. But how many high penalties are actually saved by the goalkeeper? Not many at all. Even if it’s down the middle, anywhere near head height is going in. sage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SillyBilly Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) Fair play to Fozzy for stepping up again but 2 misses in 2 suggests someone else needs to have bigger balls next time around. Can't blame Dobbin either, if there are better peno takers than him then they bottled it. Really encouraging night overall, the fact it hurts to lose is a credit to the lads.

Magicman Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 11 minutes ago, Caerphilly Ram said: Why am I not surprised?! ? Dobbin, Forsyth and Hourihane all had their penalties SAVED. How do you know it was a case of “letting” him take one? Maybe he was best in training, maybe he put his hand up when the others didn’t. Lay off the kid. He misses chances every game and does not add anything but pace . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
