    Agreed Tricky. But I've seen more than 1 of our players miss the entire pitch with simple passes. If Randolph got his head over it and thumped it it would take some saving the way he hits them.

    I was disappointed by the presale. Long gone by the time I got there.

    Don't worry, I'm sure you can go back and pick up McGoldrick or Maguire.

    Some injury updates on Coleman, Walters, Duffy and Maguire from O'Neill yesterday: http://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/socc...onder-11359467

    ...

    But in Zurich last night, O’Neill said of Duffy: “I spoke to Shane and he was concerned about it but the pain was lessening by the evening.

    “I watched young Maguire in his game and he was excellent for half an hour, so I’m hoping that it’s going to be two weeks but we’ll see.

    Especially if it goes over the bar!

    On the plus side Darren has never missed a penalty, however he has never scored one either as, as far as I know he has never taken one.

    This would seem to confirm.

    https://www.transfermarkt.com/darren...wettbewerb_id=

    So he is an unknown quantity as far as penalties go.

    When I was thinking about penalty takers the name Jeff Hendrick sprang to mind, he is an unknown quality too though.

    I think he would be pretty good at them, as to why well I think could offer this as evidence, he beats two defenders and the keeper at 1.17.



    Not the same as a penalty though but he looks a pretty cool customer there under pressure.

    I could be massively wrong of course, they need to sort out the penalty takers in practice, to at least weed out the ones
    who are hopeless in practices. We will find out who are hopeless as the real thing should it come to penalties.

    Perhaps of more importance as far as Randolph is concern is his penalty saved record is, which is according to this
    8 in 39. That is 20.5%

    What however is of significance is Colin Doyle record of 6 save in 19 that is 31.5% saved.



    Some impressive bouncing on the line there!!

    Hence something to consider there if it looks like it is headed for penalties is whether to sub Doyle at some point.

    V Jaun Mata, Mata is not very good at penalties, missed 4 in 14.

    Mind you 2 of those 4 were v Doyle! So more or a credit to Doyle than a discredit to Mata perhaps?

    Is that the rate that he saved them or the rate the other player missed? In either case, 20.5% is around the average or slightly above.

    That is the percent he saved, which will be the rate the other player missed now I have thought about it lol.

    Yea I thought it seemed about average, however Colin Doyle record of 6 save in 19 is 31.5% saved which is quite impressive
    so I think it should be a consideration as to whether we can sub Doyle on if the opportunity arises, some keeper tend to have
    a knack of stopping penalties, it is a bit of a specialised skill I think, more mind games than anything else perhaps?

    Doyle is nearly 1 in 3 so he might do 2 in 5 perhaps. Randolph looks more of a 1 in 5 man.

    Well not all missed penalties are saved - I think about 4% are off-target (I can look it up tomorrow).

    It's certainly something a manager could do before a shoot out. Paul Cook did it in the FAI Cup final in 2010 when he brought Ciaran Kelly on for Brendan Clarke a minute from the end and Shamrock Rovers missed all four penalties. Louis Van Gaal did the same and brought on Tim Krul for Jasper Cillessen in the World Cup semi in 2014.

    According to this, bookings will be carried into the play-offs.

    Happy to see Eriksen is on a booking there. So, how can we go about ensuring he gets another one in the first leg?

    Is there a list of our players who are on bookings?

    Think it was the quarters against Costa Rica where he did that. LvG had used all three subs a little way into extra time so couldn't repeat the trick in the semi final. Incidentally the Dutch had a big advantage in the Costa Rica game, as the Costa Rican's had gone to penalties in their R16 match vs Greece and 4 out of the 5 takers for them that day also took penalties against the Dutch. The Dutch then had this happen to them as 3 of the 4 takers vs Argentina had taken PKs vs Costa Rica.

    Hopefully someone somewhere in the FAI is taking a look at where the likely Danish players put their penalties, and seeing if there are any clues on placement in the run-ups of the takers. Kasper Schmeichel has saved 17 and not saved 48, maybe they could take a look at if he biases a certain side, or say always dives (leaving the top middle of the goal as an option) - if we have a very technical player (Hoolahan or Brady) they could then try and go for the other side (or down the middle).

  24. Thanks From:
