With ten men again JDL. BJT was exceptional, I can see why you all liked him so much. As for yourselves, pens must be made to count, sounds like three points dropped to me. It happens to the best of us, you just hope it doesn't come back to haunt you at the end of the season. Best of luck next week. BJT was a great player. He was but with our bail out fund we'll be lucky to afford a BLT let alone BJT

Article on KO with Hak saying they never practice penalties but they will start now. I’m surprised they don’t already find a few minutes of a training session to at least find out who is good at them (surely someone must be!)

I hear it works well enough in training, confuses our defenders well enough.

No point slamming the individual players in private or public for the missed penalties. Needs some serious work to be done but at least we can't get any worse.

Concord grapevine suggests they can wipe out our attackers in the penalty area with impunity. Sounds like we might want to shoot from distance next Saturday. Nobody will want to take a penalty. I can just hear Hak shouting "play on, play on" to the ref.

It doesn’t need practice. It’s one of those things. Just crack on and score the next one or it’ll become a mental block.

Having seen the highlights, first thing to note is we did play some football, though the first half clearly was as dire as I imagined, given Stonestv only show about thirty seconds. Secondly, never a penalty for them, George wasn't challenging at all and their player fell over. However, the penalty itself should be compulsory viewing for budding takers in black and amber. Both our penalties correct, but we need to find someone new to take them. Overall, Chelmsford got lucky and on another day could easily have lost 4-0. More than a bit of a bugger really and made worse by the terrible live feed on the day. If this is the best other clubs can offer (H&W similarly awful remember), please can we have Stoneslive radio commentary on all future away games.

This season we do look like we can win every game..just need to smooth off those rough edges when it comes to finishing.

It is the silver lining steve. Hak has def impoved the squad from last season. Not perfect, but better. Still think there is enough promise on show to achieve play off positions with a bit to spare.

It's not often I agree with you deadly but this time I think you could be right providing the season actually makes it past xmas which is still very debatable at the moment .

It doesn’t need practice. It’s one of those things. Just crack on and score the next one or it’ll become a mental block. I'm sorry but I don't agree. Doing nothing is no longer an option. Amaluzor has missed two, Rendell has missed two. if you are going to toss the ball to someone else, how do you know if they're any good at it if they haven't even had a go in training? In my view you have to build the confidence to take them and that comes through practice. If you're banging them past one of our keepers for ten minutes at the Gallagher, you are well set to do the same in a match. If we do nothing, the next time we win a pen there will be immediate tension in the side, they won't have a clue who is going to attempt to take it and, if it's one of the players who have already missed a couple, they are going to be short of the confidence needed to get a better outcome. If you practice them you can develop a small portfolio of different penalties that work. I play competitive table tennis and I would say taking penalties is a bit like serving. As a TT player you develop different serves that can go either side of the table or straight down the middle, with different speeds and spins. If you do the same serve all the time, your opponent soon starts to read it and knows how to return it easily so you have to mix it up. A good penalty taker will have at least three different variants and work on them in training. They can also vary their run-up because good goalkeepers often study their opponent's penalty taker on video before a match to see what they do in relation to their run-up. This might sound a bit over the top, but is it when missing the darn things keeps costing you points, and sees you dumped out of the FA Cup? Let's face it, when the shoot-out came along in the cup we had absolutely no plan. Hak ended up tossing the ball to those players who were brave enough to attempt it - unfortunately that included our two centre-backs! It's not good, is it.

In addition I would suggest that it's a dual learning curve as the goalkeepers can not only get some practice in too but can perhaps offer advice about anything that our penalty takers do that gives the keeper an advantage. Do they have a tell about where they're going to put it for example.

Why in heaven's name would you NOT practice them? Especially if you are as bad at taking them as we obviously are!
