Can anyone remember the last time a Charlton keeper made a penalty save? Hamer never gives me the impression hes going to save one,did he make any last season? Oh,and this isnt a thread knocking Hamer
The pont is, shouldn't Ben Hamer do better at stopping penalty kicks? I think he is becoming a good keeper but he didn't look remotely like stopping that one yesterday. I thought the guy telegraphed that it was going to Hamer's right, it wasn't right in the corner and it wasn't hit very hard - some lesser keepers might have got it IMO.
On the flip side of it Jackson has missed 3 this season, hasn't been costly overall in terms of points, but perhaps switch our pen taker to Ricardo Fuller? We want who is supposed to be our main threat of a striker hitting the back of the net.

Eh? Sorry, but I don't get that. A lesser keeper than Hamer may have guessed right and saved it, and a better keeper than Hamer may have guessed wrong and not got it.

Not sure what that proves to be honest.
I didn't express myself very clearly then. Just saying that I think a keeper of Hamer's quality should do better with pens, and that he should have done better yesterday.

A penalty kick is a penalty kick among professional players. You see the likes of Rooney missing them surprisingly often. Petr Cech/Joe Hart don't have a very good record of penalty saves as you would have expected.
We are more likely to conceed pens this season so I'm sure Hamer will get used to them and make at least one save this season from the spot.

Unfortunately Makelele scored the rebound.
Never a pen. Foul was definitely outside the area.
