Only seen it once, but it looked pretty tame
Good save, or bad penalty?

Lazy penalty and an easy save.

Definition of a poor penalty.
No power.
Keepers right.
Perfect height.

On the Chadwick-Higginbotham scale I’d say it was about a 5.......

Total shite. He didn’t even try to deceive the keeper. Hit it waist height to his favoured right hand side. Keeper clean caught it. Practically the kind of kick the under 14 coach gives to warm up the keeper before junior matches.

If the keeper dives the other way it’s a good pen. I’m no Vokes fan. He’s toss, and it’s cost us tonight, but as I’ve said earlier these things are fine margins.
The lump tucks it away and, as our only current standing forward, he’s got a bit of confidence for the next few games.

It was bloody awful.
Do we have designated penalty takers ?
Do they practice them ?
Penalties at both ends of the pitch have been a nightmare at Stoke for years.

Practically the kind of kick the under 14 coach gives to warm up the keeper before junior matches. Exactly the type of penalty an out of form/low on confidence striker takes. I still say Powell should take some responsibility, as a senior player and a damn good penalty taker no one should have been getting that ball off him..... |

Sorry for the language but it’s a fucking appalling penalty!!
Just look at the pitch, it’s not stop rain, the ball is sliding along the floor easily. On that surface you slot it hard and low in the corner. No need lift the bastard thing!! That’s a professional footballer doing that! If I did that at 5 a side I would get a boot up my arse and called wank!!

It was horrendous but the worst thing of all is that it was near identical to his two previous misses v Hull and Crawley.

As he was stood waiting to take it my wife was getting excited shouting my little lad down to watch. I told her not to bother, that Vokes would miss and we'd go on to lose 2-1. She said I was a miserable twat and that she was sick of me. She's not spoke to me since she saw the final score!  |

Terrible penalty and okay the rebound flies past him but his complete lack of reaction to it, where he doesn't even flinch, tells you all you need to know about him. Stick a fork in him, he's done. Another just here for his pension and to achieve fuck all.

It was so bad, it needed to be a hell of a lot better to be awful.
It was totally in keeping with the value for money fat Sam has represented since his arrival at SCSFC.

Every single outfield player should be scoring a penalty the level they play at. If the keeper makes a great save that's the only exception. I'd be disappointed missing a peno playing with my mates never mind being paid huge sums of money to play at a high level. |

I guess no1 penalty taker is Campbell. Sadly he wasn't on the pitch. Presumably Fletcher and Joe Allen would be high up the pecking order. Neither were on the pitch. I guess Clucas may well have had some say. Sadly he wasn't on the pitch. Shawcross scored in a shootout, easily, away at Birmingham. Sadly he wasn't on the pitch. I was thinking Powell would have taken it but had he wanted to, surely he wouldn't have let anyone else near that ball. What's O'Neil said? |

BM Professional penalty takers would master taking penalties that are not possible to save. Shearer famously had a technique that he swore by because if he nailed it, he knew a keeper standing in the middle would not reach it. Bruno Fernandes, for all his arseing about, has an established effective technique. Vokes, on the face of it, has no such intelligence to formulate such a technique. |
