Question Penalties - Who should take them

[AndyT]

Apologies if this has been covered on any of the other threads, but heaven forbid it should come to it, but who should take them?

I'm guessing maybe :

Worrall, McLaughlin, Timlin, Leonard, Coker

Tough one, as obviously it depends whose on the pitch at the end of extra time.

 

[Jcd]

Can Corr take all 5?

Corr should be top of that list.

 

[AndyT]

I thought about that, but having missed the other night and at Burton, would he be confident enough to take the responsibility?

Yes, I think he would.

 

[IloveShrimp]

Anyone who would put his laces through it and break the net!

 

[fredheim_holm]

Coker should be first for me. He's got the most cultured strike out of our team in my opinion. After him I'd want Timlin & Worral, Leonard/Piggott and then maybe a random shout for Bolger. No idea why on that last one, just a wildcard.

 

[Mark Stevart]

our mascot can take one please not bbc after Thursday night

Did Brown say in the post match interview that Payne is one of the better penalty takers at the club?

 

[Juggler90]

Corr, Coker, Timlin, Lenny, Worrall

 

[OldBlueLady]

Hasn't Barrett taken them before as one of the nominated 5 or am I mis-remembering?

 

[blueveined]

Did Brown say in the post match interview that Payne is one of the better penalty takers at the club?

Yes he did.

 

[RHB]

Coker, Timlin, Lenny, Worrall, Corr or Payne dependant who is still on the pitch. During the game - Lenny.

Not sure why I haven't included the Pig in here, maybe instead of Coker.

 

[GBJ]

Slightly off topic, (but relevant nonetheless)I'd have Leonard as full time taker. That lad can smash a dead ball, as powerful & accurate, as well as anyone.

Corr has missed three this season hasn't he? Love the guy but not sure he should still be on pens.

If Weston's on the pitch he'll surely take one, he took one or two earlier in the season I think.

Totally agree mate.

That would be Leonard surely, I've always thought he would be an ideal penalty taker.

 

[GBJ]

Totally agree mate.

Total no-brainer for me. I've always thought penalties should just be smashed at goal, Julian Dicks style & Lenny definitely has the power & accuracy to replicate such penalties. I distinctly remember Beckham's pen against the Argies back in the 2002 WC, and even though he smashed it straight down the middle, it simply had far too much power & pace for their keeper to even react. In fact, IIRC, the ball was already in the back of the net, before he'd managed to react?

Phil Brown said in the post-match interview on Sky that Jack Payne was out best penalty taker.

According to Transfermarkt website, our best penalty takers are:

Lee Barnard - 100% (9 out of 9)
Conor Clifford - 100% (2 out of 2)
Joe Pigott - 100% (1 out of 1)
Jake Cassidy - 100% (1 out of 1)
Barry Corr - 69% (9 out of 13)
Myles Weston - 67% (2 out of 3)

That doesn't include penalty shootouts.

I reckon BBBC would be out to prove a point of he got another chance from the spot, so the opposite of it knocking his confidence. My 5 would be ....

corr, Lenny, timlin, worrall, Coker
