Most of them are relatively young lads mate and as I just posted in reply to someone else, Arma and Ben have taken all of our pens for 2+ seasons now.

I think I can remember Dack taking a penalty for us before. 

I don't think anyone else has. 

Maybe Pickering did for Crewe I don't know. Maybe Khadra can take them but I don't think most have taking penalty in game before

Of course you are.  I would question your loyalty & fan credentials if it were otherwise.  I, on the other hand, have other priorities....

I bet his first game back will be Reading on the 19th March then goes away with Chile straight after.

How could anyone else in the squad ‘stand out’ to take pens when Arma and Ben have taken all of them for the past 2+ seasons. Seems a strange thing to be negative about. I’m sure most of them are perfectly capable of taking a decent penalty. 

I'm talking about nobody stands out in the fans thinking straight away because we have few confident  to who can take over,look at the guesses do you see a player that all the fans are thinking could strike a ball from the spot? You don't have to have seen a player take a pen to think he could do a job but theres few in our team spring to mind.

Lenihan, Ayala, Van Hecke, Giles, Pickering, Khadra, Rothwell, Hedges. Just off the top of my head I would have no qualms about any of these stepping up.

Glass half full matey. We have enough legitimate things to complain about without creating extra ones. I suppose if whoever does step up misses the next Rovers penalty you’ll be on here saying “I told you so”!?

Why would i do that,i'm not a child.

He was on crutches and in the boot at the boxing last night too, so it’s not just window dressing for Ewood / Brockhall. Sickener this - just when we had to hit some form again.

This is looking more and more like a few weeks until he's good to go again which could mean a standoff with Chile and Rovers as its 5 weeks until the last  2 World Cup Qualifiers.He could be getting called up before he's played for us again.

So a professional keeper should save only 3/10 ?

[Mattyblue]

Yes. It’s a free shot from 12 yards.

If they're lucky. A good penalty taker should be scoring at least 9

Don’t think you’d find a professional keeper with a save % anywhere near that. If you did I’d be impressed. And they certainly won’t be a championship goalkeeper!

The boot and crutches could be just for total safety precautions and he might be taking it off next week to see how it is. Until it's officially confirmed either way, I'm not taking anything as a given
