Very good game from Cardiff. It was one of those games that nobody deserved to lose.

Quite a few missed penalties missed 5 out of ten a conversion rate of 50%.
Google tells me the average conversion rate is 80%-90%

I expect the conversion rate drops in penalty shoot outs, one because players are tired two because none specialist penalty takers are also used, perhaps thirdly there is more pressure on the players.

Maybe one reason so many were missed was because the first penalty (a good one) was
saved causing players to put their penalties that extra bit higher and wider, but over doing it.

Forced both own goals in Cardiff's 2-1 defeat of Bristol City today

never underestimate the value of good harrying!

Another goal for Joe-Ma this season. Having a great run with Cardiff. Would like to see him given a call up at some stage in the near future.

another goal for Mason for Cardiff. A tap in this time after Kenny Miller hit the post. Puts Cardiff one up on Derby County. Another young Irish lad who has had a great season in the championship.

He has been completely unexpected i woodsay. Did not pull up trees at underage level for us

Scores again, if Cardiff win this, then a play-off place is assured.

**SkStu** · 25/08/2012, 3:38 PM

Mason grabbed one for Cardiff in their loss today.

**SkStu** · 27/10/2012, 2:48 PM

Scores for Cardiff again after 3 mins. Only his second goal this season but he's only had 4 starts.

Do you think Il Duce Trap will be thinking about Joe any time soon?

**SkStu** · 29/10/2012, 8:49 PM

The short answer is no. I dont think he is on the radar of Trappatoni and he probably doesnt even know he exists.

I thought he should have had a look in for a friendly last season (not with a view to the Euros) or a friendly post Euros. If he keeps this form up he is a realistic option and still very young. I have hopes for him though admittedly, i have seen only his goals. But goals are a strikers currency, right?

Joe Mason nabbed another for Cardiff in their 5-4 defeat to Charlton on Tuesday. A tap-in. Seems to be quite predatory going on discussion about him, a bit of a John Aldridge. Anyway, 3 goals in 5 starts now.

Goal Mason. Long ball, Helguson flicks it son. Mason runs on to it, flicks it past Dann with his head to get in behind. Cool finish in to the far corner past Robinson from twelve yards out to make it 3-1.
