OTT Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Yep. 3 in a row is too many. Then again, Shanks is probably the best finisher we have. Tough one really because if you accept someone else has to take them... who? I'd maybe back Grant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlimOzturk Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Still say no. He would go another 15 in a row once he bangs in another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halks has basically opted out of them. Missed one or something at Livi and has shat the bed since so won't take them. Annoying because I think he'd put them away Steven Pressley style AND he was a striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brawlad74 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 No real competition. Defo no Kingsley after cup final. Like Vargas but he ballooned his one on one the night. Midfield no settled enough. CB's nah. Wonder what Zander's like.. Dexter outside shout? Shanks still got the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started a thread on this last time he missed and got slagged. He needs a break from them, or he gets the next one if we're 3+ goals up. It will be in his head now, if it wasn't last time.

Disagree reference confidence. He hit it well and with power, as he did the hibs one. Not accurate enough, but not sure it's confidence.

Pans Jambo Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Not for me. He took a perfect penalty but the keeper’s timing and speed was excellent. Think tonights penalty was just unlucky. Will still be playing on his mind though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campbell Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Fraser took them when he was at MK scored 10 out of 11 so maybe him if we get him through the door, really though I think keep shanks on them for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db211833 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 You don't do that to a striker like Shanks, you show faith. He will score the next one and 14 after that. Geez only last season people were saying he only scores pens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungry hippo Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I think Vargas will take the next one. He's got that Jamie Walker confidence and will to take it. I'm not promising he'll score though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS98 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 If it’s a pressure pen I’d be changing for the next one. If we’re winning at the time then Shanks can take it with less pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Its a dilemma . Not let him take the next penalty and he cant prove he can score them or take the risk and he blows it again. ?

McNelly15 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Surly would be Kingsley since he's a free kick specialist. Guaranteed starter. I'd give shanks another one though before stepping aside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innerjambo Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Boyce when back, otherwise give Vargas a shot. My only problem with Kenny, is he blutters it over the bar. Edited January 23 by innerjambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longmalx Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Grant is an expert penalty taker. If Shankland gives up the responsibility I expect Grant will be a shoe-in for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTJ Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Best in penalty shoot outs would be Haring - but he's unlikely to be playing! Shanks gets the right to decide if he himself takes the next one. With Cup Ties around, I guess all the players will practice & Naismith may have a say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
