If you have a German in your side then that German should take the pens. At least Walters did not score an own goal today

Why is Adam not taking penalties for us? Much better than Walters.

The problem is his lack of variation in his technique (the Chelsea miss aside). A good peno taker should keep the keeper guessing which way he will go.

Quite simply a RUBBISH penalty taker, i can't remember a worst one ! Management would be failing in their duties if they allowed this to continue.

Like most amateurs JW will knock em in all week in practice & then its a lottery on the big stage
50% success rate is crap for a designated peno taker
Ask Ricky Lambert ............. 32 scored from the last 32 taken!!!!

Fuller and Lawrence always used to go for one side as well, but the difference was that they put the ball in the corner so the keeper could never reach it. Walters just hits it as hard as he can without it getting anywhere near the corner of the net.

Symptomatic of his all-round failings.

Pathetic we are still having to talk about it if he had been sent off 6 times he would be gone and yet the damage is worse , hits disgraceful professional conduct to the detriment of the team for him to even consider taking one .
Drop him and hold him accountable are the very minimum actions none of this work hard shit , do you homework bowen the man has broken the code of professional conduct and put himself before the team .

KJ definitely offered to take the peno yesterday and Walters just ignored him.
Not sure what hes trying to prove. Surely he should admit hes not a natural penalty taker and give up the duties.
Everyone says what a great TEAM player he is. If that was really the case he would give up the penalty taking for the benefit of the team as a whole.
Adam has got to be the best choice

Not sure about code of conduct mate, but 4 out of 11 is shite by any standards?

If he takes the next one he next it will be more management, if he picks up the ball for the next one, Shawcross and other senior players should take it off him.

His technique might work in the lower leagues but it patently doesn't in the top division. A lucky point away would have done wonders for the club at the start of what will be a difficult season. As it is some on here are congratulating him for being keen.

There's a thread further down for this man, don't think it needs another.
For the record, somewhat controversially, I'd say Wilson.

These are the people I'd rather have taking a penalty: Begovic Shawcross Huth Pieters Muniesa Edu Cuvelier Crouch Adam N'Zonzi Whelan Wilson Etherington Pennant Shea Cameron Sorensen Alabi Kightly Jerome Jones Wilko Mark Hughes Peter Coates
Johnathan Walters

I'm sure when he missed against Chelsea last year whelan was going to take the next one that came round but as Walters won it he took it himself - have I imagined this?
I would rather see anyone but Walters take one now

I would rather see anyone but Walters take one now I will be available for home games. A quick substitution and Bob's your uncle. The funny thing is that this thread has reminded me of the phantom penalty taker of Meadow Lane. What a great day that was !
