Title: Should Newy have taken it ?
Post by: Seenbetter on January 05, 2014, 11:27:29 PM

Yesterday I couldn't hear what Rossy actually said to the Newsh but I got the impression he was giving him the opportunity to take the penalty. Newsh obviously didn't want to take it because he turned down the offers. Perhaps Newsh was concerned that if he missed again support for him could wain or maybe he was frightened another miss so close to his last one would be bad for his own confidence. I personally think the Telford miss played on his mind and he didn't want to risk missing again. Rossy took it well and I still have confidence in Newsh scoring from the spot. I know Telfords miss was crucial but hey, nobodys perfect, he'll be back to scoring penalties for us.
In answer to my own question, I think he made the right decision for himself, if he had taken it and missed it his confidence would have been damaged. Excellent the way Rossy offered him the chance though.

think back to stuart pearce and england. he could have bottled another big penalty...but didn't.  if it was nerves ( which i don't think it was, i more think he wanted to get three goals from open play) then banging in a penalty would erase those fears just like that if that was the case.   would have been nice to see him get the hat trick though so i say yes he should have took it. but at the end of the day, who cares.  we bagged the points and that's all that matters !

Both players had decided before kick off.

Penalties only become an issue when missed...

Newsh has never looked the most natural penalty taker to me.  He's scored some good ones, but has also missed a few (Bradford and Telford away, both in injury time, cost us points), and other times keepers get a hand to his penalties but they squeeze in.
Ross is our dead ball expert and I'm happy to see him take them, but not sure we've got anyone you'd bank on to take a penalty for your life!

Couldn't put his penalty tonight any further in the corner...
