I know it's pre-decided who takes pens - but surprised Dicko didn't get the chance.
His pen up at West Brom in the cup last year was dispatched in true Andy Gray/Mendonca style.
Bailey looked nervous, and hit his pen with more power than any idea of accuracy, at ideal diving keeper height.
Didn't strike me that he really has that ice cool certainty that you need to take a pen under pressure.

he is awful ... ... that first was a classic ... swipe swipe swipe then eventually a scuffed goal.... they can keep him....i'd rather have our free scoring forwards whoever they might be!!
[cite]Posted By: March51[/cite]Charlie MacDonald also put another one away. If we should come up against the Bees next season what's the betting he'll score against us?
And someone would say we shouldn't have let him go.

There seemed to be a bit of a wait for him to actually be able to take the penalty, with one plmouth player in particular making sure he took as long as possible to get out the area. That didn't help, but you have to be able to deal with that sort of thing.
[cite]Posted By: Plaaayer[/cite]I'm sure that he turned down a contract with us rather than us just releasing him, because he wanted more money.
Used to knock about with him around the time he was still with us.
I heard from somewhere fairly reliable MacDonald got fed up with his lack of opportunities and said (privately) that he wasn't going to play for us again.

Shame Burton wasn't on the pitch, he'd have scored it.

A certain Luke Varney against a certain team from South Norwood if I am not mistaken

Maybe ..... but you still have get yourself in the right place, to be there to get the chance.
