No pressure on it either. If the keeper dives the right way it looks like an easy save to me. We don't seem to be great at pens generally, I wonder if they're something we practice much. |  |

But the keeper didn’t dive the right way and often the penalty taker sends the keeper the wrong way with body shape, etc.
So it’s a good pen. |  |

If that's what Ladapo did then it's a fantastic pen. | |

Ladapo either saw or sensed the keeper was diving right and just rolled it in to the left. Can't say that was definitely the case but was how I saw it. |  | | |

A great pen usually results in a goal.
A goal was scored.
Therefore it was a great pen. |  |

Rather misses the point though. We're generally poor on pens. If he's 'done him with the eyes' or similar, then great. If he just got lucky then it's something we ought to look at, given how poor some of our others have been. Reasonable thing to look at for the future, rather than hoping for the best? | |

There were 3 potential penalty takers that had already left the field at that point. My personal preference to take them would probably be Broadhead if he's on the pitch, based on the power he packed in THAT freekick. | |

I think you're calling this one wrong mate.
Watch it again.
See how Freddie shapes to go right. You can clearly see the keeper start to move to his left. Freddie rolls a simple ball to the keeper's right.
A calm, well taken penalty.
Really nothing to see here. |  |

I’ve never been so desperate for a penalty to be scored at 3-0 up. There was a thread about unlucky players earlier in the week but I think Ladapo has been the unluckiest of the lot. 16 goals scored across all competitions and can’t even get a start? | |

Lots of our potential pen takers were off the field
Hirst
Chappers
Burns
Broadhead
Luongo
All possible takers, just glad kayden left it aline, he never looks confident on penalties |  | | |

I would have given Edwards a go as he won the penalty and as he proved from his FK against Accy, he is a good striker of the ball.
However, it was great that Freddie did convert the penalty. |  |

It's impossible to know for sure, but it had that look to me too. It looked like a confident 'pass' of the ball into the side of the net which Freddie had (possibly subconsciously) seen or sensed that the keeper was diving away from.
Actually, after writing the above, I've watched it again and I hadn't realised just how well Freddie had sold the keeper. It was actually a brilliant penalty if you watch the deceptive twist in Freddie's action just before he hits the ball. Superbly done. |  |

It was a very good pen. He sent the keeper the wrong way. If the keeper had dived that way, he would have put it the other side. |  |

Definitely churlish, it's a 1 v 1 battle which Ladapo one. Far more convincing and confident looking than Chaplin's have been. | |

So if I trip my run up, fall over and smash my face on the ball causing it to pop up and over the keeper, who's also fallen over, that's a good pen? | |

I think that would be disallowed:
Law 14 'The player taking the penalty kick must kick the ball forward; backheeling is permitted provided the ball moves forward.
When the ball is kicked, the defending goalkeeper must have at least part of one foot touching, in line with, or behind, the goal line.
The ball is in play when it is kicked and clearly moves.
The kicker must not play the ball again until it has touched another player.
The penalty kick is completed when the ball stops moving, goes out of play or the referee stops play for any offence.'
You see, it is called a penalty kick and not a penalty header... |  |

I think it ought to be clear I was making a ridiculous suggestion to make a point. So if I must elaborate, remove the head bit and just say I fell on the ball and accidentally kicked it. Would that be a good pen? | |

OK, you would have to be falling in a strange enough way to only hit the ball with your foot in such a way as to establish that a kick had taken place. But what if the ball was struck so weakly that the keeper had no problem casually walking forward and gathering the ball in his (or her) arms. That would be a bad penalty - and you are Bruno Fernandes... | |
