Guest v1images Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Since our last League penalty taken by Leroy Lita on the 8th April 2013 in our 3-2 win at home against Blackburn Rovers. Had another shout yesterday turned down, looking like we will pass the 1 year without a penalty at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scottish.Owl Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 what if our cup tie goes to pens would we have to just throw the towel in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesy87shef Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 We obviously should hae had a few I'm that time. The teams higher up in the league will get more as they are attacking in the box more etc. when you take into account how soft some of the penalties teams have got this season it is baffling we haven't somehow even fluked one even if you take all the genuine penalty shouts out of the equation.

BingleyOwl Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 There's a positive correlation between the amount of time spent in the opposition's penalty area and the number of penalties you're awarded. Because we have absolutely nothing up front, and consistently haven't had for a number of years, we don't get awarded many penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last_Great_Hope Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Is there even a decent explanation for it? There is a good reason why we should have less than other teams, but not a good reason why we shouldn't have had any. Most pens are for fouls in the area - in order to get a pen, you have to have a player with the ball at their feet, under control. The more a team is struggling in their general play, the less time you will spend in the opposition box. Its no surprise that Leicester are the outstanding team this year, and they have had loads of pens - plenty of attacking players spending lots of time in the area.

We've had quite a few decent penalty shouts, would have expected at least one though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul G Wisbech Owl Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Haven't we had 4 bookings this season for diving, not bad for a team that haven't been awarded a single penalty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chriss Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Tbh laverly would have had one yesterday if maghoma hadn't dived 2 seconds before. Was thinking that, must have influenced his decision as Maghomas dive was a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
