[JEFF]

Our first five penalty takers - Roberts, Craney, Boco, Todd and Proctor smashed the ball into the back of the net, brilliant penalties. When Cav stepped up he chose to tap it and try to place it - easy save for the goalie, then Mully stepped up (I thought he said that he was never going to take another penalty after his miss against Exeter last season) and he decided to do the same thing, tap it - another easy save for the goalie. Why oh why didn't they just do as the first five had done and try to beat the goalie with force. I agree with Coley on this, it was a wasted opportunity. O.K. somebody has to miss a penalty sometime, but at least don't try to be clever and side foot the ball. Cav isn't having a very good season so far, his passes are going astray, he is being found out of position, he is often late with his tackles, he takes every throw in on his side of the pitch and seldom finds a Stanley player. I would prefer it if we reverted to Edwards at full back and Welch back in the centre of defense like last season. Anyway, on to victory on Saturday.
