Coming in for a lot of stick for refusing to take a penalty last night? £12m striker you think he would have wanted to take one against his old team.

I thought for one awful minute this was a let's sign him thread

I know a striker who wouldn't take them - Willie Irvine. Having said that, he was never in that position in a shoot out.

Being a striker has nothing to do with it. It's all about mental strength. Lots of fullbacks over the years have been their teams penalty taker.
If you are worried that you're going to miss, the odds are you probably will.

Like when Ings bottled it.... Some just aren't cut out for it and its better they own up as bottle jobs instead of stepping up.

Hasn't he been a regular pen taker during his career?

What? Like allowing free kick and penalty specialist Matt Taylor to take it instead? righto

To be fair, Taylor slipped.

He slipped and it hit the post but this was a player with an outstanding penalty record who had the confidence, desire and bottle to pick the ball up and take it.

Some players prefer a moving ball and don't like striking a "dead ball"

Sure I read that Ade had to be persuaded to take the penalty for his hat trick at Luton as he didn't like to take penalties

Yes, I had no problem with Taylor taking it at the time, I agreed he should. It was the inference that ings bottled taking it I didn't agree with

But surely, according to our friends down the M65 at least, "he scores when he wants" ? Very odd then that he didn't want to score in such a crucial situation....nowt so queer as folk I suppose.

He'd have hit the post.

I guess he would also have been under extra scrutiny / pressure because of his history with Huddersfield.

Fretters · Post by **Fretters** » Thu May 18, 2017 10:40 pm

He's scored 3 in 20 for them whilst on loan. I wonder if they're regretting the £10 million deal that is in place for the summer.
