Grant is no Penalty taker
To me, he is no Penalty Taker.
Yet, the best Pen ive seen us take this season is Fosu at Luton - i think he was on the pitch today when the Pen was awarded?

He literally smashed one home 7 days ago30

Were you not there last week?!
He's being sold anyway1 -
No mate, Penalty awarded 77 minute, Fosu came on in the 82 minute.1

Am sorry but have no faith in Fosu at the moment
Not making him a scapegoat today but apart from 30mins at Gillingham he's been shocking this season and can start to understand why Reading didnt put more of an effort to keep him when we signed him - Not sure if he completed a pass today and certainly didnt beat a man; honestly think we should be loaning him out and not Clarke1 -

Difficult to get into the game so late on but gotta say Fosu wound me up in those last12 minutes (four minutes stoppage time) getting caught in possessiion.ForeverAddickted said:Am sorry but have no faith in Fosu at the moment

Hate all the negativity towards grant. ‘He can’t finish’ ‘He can’t take penalties’. Scored 14 in the league this season and is our top scorer as well as one of the top scorers in the whole of the league. Has taken 3 pens and scored 2, confidently put all of them away except today’s. He’s leaving, but be grateful for what he done for us this season. He won’t be easy to replace19

Compare and contrast with the attitude towards Taylor.2 -
Not to worry, he'll be taking no more pens for us this season or ever againThe_President said:All of Grants Penalties so far have been weak with the goalie stopping or nearly stopping them.

Exactly. Taylor has missed penalties too, and also has less goals than grant in the league. I love them both and I think they’re easily the best strike partnership in league 1. People on here expect them both to be perfect. If they were they wouldn’t be playing in league 1, and Grant won’t be this time next weekLenGlover said:

Its the comment: "He only scores tap in's" that gets me ... Breakdown of his goals this season that I remember:JoshAddick said:Hate all the negativity towards grant. ‘He can’t finish’ ‘He can’t take penalties’.

Shrewsbury; Got in front of the goalkeeper and headed in from a tight angle
Accrington: Well placed Header
Bradford: Put through by Cullen, cut back the defender and smashed it into the far corner of the net
Plymouth: Yup two tap ins; they actually happened
Barnsley: Put through on goal, had a lot to do to beat the 'keeper plus a fortunate header
Doncaster: Well placed header
Bristol Rovers: Empty net
Burton: Penalty
Walsall: Similar to the Barnsley goal without having to run at goal
Shrewsbury: Penalty
Accrington: Penalty
So out of his fourteen goals, he's had three put on a plate for him!!5 -
Taylor’s scores one more though he’s also scored and missed more penalties than Grant.JoshAddick said:Hate all the negativity towards grant. ‘He can’t finish’ ‘He can’t take penalties’.

It’s like some don’t want to be proven wrong after they wrote him off before this season so insist he’s not that good and any success is because of Taylor.
Amazing how badly we’ve struggled to find goalscoring strikers over the years considering how easy it apparently is.
I have more faith in Bowyer and Gallen than most previous set ups but good strikers aren’t easy to find and aren’t usually cheap.
As we’ve seen with Ajose it’s not as simple as just signing one of the leagues top goalscorers.5 -
And have a look at the other two - both powder puff side foots nearly got by the oppo keeper- like todays , except the keeper got it this time.ValleyGary said:

‘Nearly’ being the key word. He had the accuracy to score. Some of the best players in the world are guilty of taking a shit penalty like Grant did today.The_President said:

There shall be a lot of revisionism like this going on now he’s leaving. Whatever helps soften the blow I suppose.3

Have to admit I had to look up reports for the Plymouth and Doncaster goals so may even be wrong about those finishesBriston_Addick said:

Certainly remember the rest though1 -
Was there one year where we had a 100 per cent records on pens? ie we scored everyone we got and saved everyone given against - was that Buyens and Henderson?0

Yup... Wasnt it the only time it has happened in our history?The_President said:Was there one year where we had a 100 per cent records on pens? ie we scored everyone we got and saved everyone given against - was that Buyens and Henderson?
I think its proof that there will always be penalties missed by Strikers and those that cant be saved by our Goalkeepers1
