ChudSaint Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 Ok, obviously if Rickie plays this question becomes null and void but what happens if he doesn't? Does Billy have another go and see his confidence rocket when he bangs it in or has the batten been passed on? Who fills you with the confidence to bang in that last minute winner when the scores are tied and the ref points to the spot??? I'm going Danny Fox, dunno why cos I'll be bricking it whichever way but he's known to hit a good dead ball and what better time to see it than from 12 yards away on Saturday...

Window Cleaner Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 Billy. You can be sure hes been practising burying them in the corners all week. Nope,practising doesn't count for very much at all,it's match conditions that count.Depends if we're ahead or not. If Rickie isn't on the pitch and we're 0-0 or worse it will be Fox or Morgan.If we're 2 up it will be Billy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHITEE1987 Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 Morgan all the way! Hes got a hell of a boot on him and not bad accuracy. He would bury it in the net. Much respect to Rickie but i think he just hammers it and hopes lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much respect to Rickie but i think he just hammers it and hopes lol! Probably the only Saint to have scored 3 penalties in "international" matches. Takes nice free kicks as well but doesn't ever get the nod for us, the pecking order seems to be Rickie,Foxy,Morgan,Guly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcjwills Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 King Kelv No No No and No, because god forbid he missed the ball would still be in play and he would be out of position and a lucky log lobbed ball could be scored against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint.tom.clancy Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 Sharp or Fox. Perfect time for Sharp to make up for his dreadful one last week. Of course all this doesn't matter and lambert will be fit anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 :rolleyes:Morgan can shoot...you are having a larf mate....No chance..

Window Cleaner Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 (edited) Like Jason Dodd? Or David Peach, great penalty taker, preferred to Channon,Holmes,Osgood and McCalliog. Accuracy is paramount,which is why Billy didn't score on Saturday.If you're going where he did you've got to get it inside the post otherwise it's a gimme for the keepr.He was about a yard shy so that's inaccurate.Some place,some blast but to score you've got to put it where you want it to be not a full yard away.

Colinjb Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 Sharp's biggest problem is that if he steps up to take one, every saints fan in that ground will expect him to miss. I like to call that the 'pass back to Kelvin Davis' reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry hurlock Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 Fox all day long. He's accurate and can probably hit a ball just as quick as Rickie. Helps an awful lot if the ball is past the gk before he even gets near it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedelldays Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 Anyway, the real key isn't who is the best striker of the ball, it's who wants to be a hero by scoring against pompey. The players that relish taking pens and just see a great opportunity to score are always better pen takers. I hate seeing players not look confident taking on. They're rich professionals and it's a free shot in front of goal. As MLT said, it's simple! he did...he always says that you are a professional footballer with a free shot at goal from 12 years....getting it on target is the bare minimum has charlies adams penalty landed yet..?

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 Billy definitely. Was Donny's penalty taker, missed some there but scored plenty of them too.

paulwantsapint Posted 5 April, 2012 Share Posted 5 April, 2012 Lallana imho would be a pen placer the best MLT Rickie have the ball on the way back out of the net before the keeper has even landed Sharp didn't miss had the keeper dived the other way BS would have scored a modern pen ( no risk of missing target ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted 5 April, 2012 Share Posted 5 April, 2012 Sharp to take it. Every player misses one every now and again. Yes his pen wasn't as accurate as it should of been but it was on target but unfortunately the keeper chose the right way, I get more annoyed at ones that miss the goal completely. Incidentally Sharps pen miss was a carbon copy of MLT's miss against Crossley..I wonder if a thread about MLT taking the next one would of appeared after that?...

LatvianTolix Posted 5 April, 2012 Share Posted 5 April, 2012 I was really surprised Lallana was not stepping in to take it against Blackpool! He is confident and is not nerveous. He should be shooting those penalties if Lambo is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
