Should McSheff take the penalties now that he is back form injury?
He has better composure in front of goal than Juke I would say.

Macca has scored alot of pens, but if I'm not mistaken that was Jukes first pen miss ! Not just for cov either!! Macca has also missed pens, Leeds away is one I remember!
Didn't Macca miss one in a friendly the other week?
I'd like Sheffers to take them, not because Juke missed but because I've wanted him to take them since he returned, he is a penalty king! He is a much more composed finisher, Juke scored all his pens before this one but I still never had full confidence when he steps up to take it.
Penalty King who has also missed penalties in the past? I dont think there is such a thing as a penalty king. Even Lampard who could probably come close to such a title misses them now and again!
To be fair Lampard is an awful penalty taker. Sheffers scored some cracking pens into the top corners. I don't ever remember McSheffrey missing the target from a pen although if someone can point out a time that he did.. I know he has had a couple saved. And I'm talking about in a competitive match not a friendly!
About the same as G alexander ,iknow its not the same division but you'd want him to take one in a playoff finalMcAllister was great at them unless Uri Geller made the spot move..
I guess Le Tiss goes back into pre-Prem days. He was certainly playing well before Shearer, and I'm sure he has the best conversion rate. I think he only missed one ever.
I would have given them to Clingan, I think before he came to us he was penalty taker for Norwich. I remember he missed his first one for us against Swansea at home and he never took another one again. I just think Clingan is not the type of player to lose his head in a pressure situation and is technically one of the best players and has a very clean strike.
To be fair, he was the first name who came into my head when thinking of someone who is pretty consistant when it comes to penalty's. He may not be the best in some peoples opinions, which is fine, but he has got a pretty good conversion rate if memory serves me correct (im sure one of the football shows ananlysed his conversion rate once).
McSheffrey missed one in the 6-1 win over Wallsall, as I already mentioned in this thread (I think it was this one). Im sure there are others, but this one is remembered as he inisted on having the ball to attempt to get his hat trick, even though Morrell also had a brace himself.
He miscued the ball and dragged it wide, I wouldn't say he lost his head he just made poor contact with the ball. unlike Juke who struck it cleanly but just completely lost his head and put it about 20 feet over the cross bar.Errrm, but he did lose his head and snatched it well wide.
Pressure. Clutch plays, as the Yanks say. We don't have many players like that, haven't for a long time. Which is why they play at our level.So juke misses one and that's it, time to change taker! I just found it strange that he blasted it, he normally places them.
