Penalty takers

Probably ended up being Doc on Tuesday night because there was no Kelman on the pitch but I’m a little bemused why we didn’t opt for one of:
Leaburn, Carey, TC, Gillesphey, Bree, Coventry, even Hernandez instead.
Love Docherty but the last thing you’d say he’s known for is being able to get a clean strike on the ball. The only players I would’ve wanted to take it less are Kaminski, Ramsay or Jones.

Bree has scored 4 goals in his entire career...0

Solly had 3 for us yet he twated one into the top bins against Doncaster. For a penalty taker you want either someone who’s a good finisher, has technical ability, or hits the ball hard Docherty has none of those, he’s incredible off the ball but on the ball he’s not even top half L1 level, there’s minimum 6 players who should have took that pen before himsam3110 said:Bree has scored 4 goals in his entire career...4 -

As captain, no-one else stepped up to take it, so it was Docherty's responsibility, clearly none of the "strikers" on the pitch wanted to take it.
For someone who has "none of those" qualities, Docherty's scored quite a few long distance shots with power... Or does it only count if you're a full back who scores once every 4 years on average?0 -
Oh for a Yoni Buyens2

He’s also shown he can put a dead ball on a postage stamp.sam3110 said:Bree has scored 4 goals in his entire career...0 -
Philately will get you nowhere.2

Felt like the entire ground knew we were going to miss that penalty on Tuesday. I’m not sure why but the idea of Leaburn taking a penalty makes me even less confident!0

With Godden being out since the Play Off Final, sense tells you that there would have been a designated penalty taker in his absence.
A Mendonca, Hales, Bent type of striker would have all over that. Leaburn should have been demanding that ball. Failing that someone who can put there foot through it and not telegraphing their run up.
