Penalty (did we get one last season?)

[Balham Green]

Am I right in thinking we went the whole 46 games without a pen? Surely can't have happened before

 

[monkeywrench]

I think we had one.

 

[doozer]

Home to Rotherham I think

Didn't Finn Azaz score a pen , don't ask me who against 🤔

 

[Gary S]

One against Rotherham, which I think the referee only gave us
because he thought he should probably have sent one of their
players off.

 

[Rogue]

We did get one.

Azaz scored a penalty Vs Rotherham at home.

Hardie scored one in the cup against Sutton.

Here's how it compared to our competitors:

#	##	Club	Penalties Received	Scored	Missed	Goal rate
1		Leicester City	13	12	1	92.3 %
2		Leeds United	9	7	2	77.8 %
3		Hull City	7	4	3	57.1 %
4		Swansea City	7	4	3	57.1 %
5		Bristol City	7	7	0	100.0 %
6		Sunderland AFC	6	6	0	100.0 %
7		Middlesbrough FC	5	2	3	40.0 %
8		Coventry City	5	3	2	60.0 %
9		Southampton FC	5	4	1	80.0 %
10		West Bromwich Albion	5	5	0	100.0 %
11		Stoke City	4	1	3	25.0 %
12		Ipswich Town	3	2	1	66.7 %
13		Norwich City	3	2	1	66.7 %
14		Birmingham City	3	2	1	66.7 %
15		Preston North End	3	3	0	100.0 %
16		Millwall FC	2	1	1	50.0 %
17		Queens Park Rangers	2	1	1	50.0 %
18		Rotherham United	2	2	0	100.0 %
19		Cardiff City	2	2	0	100.0 %
20		Blackburn Rovers	1	0	1	0.0 %
21		Plymouth Argyle	1	1	0	100.0 %
22		Watford FC	1	1	0	100.0 %
23		Huddersfield Town	1	1	0	100.0

If you're wondering why this is missing a team, it's because Wednesday didn't get a penalty all season.

A lot of our goals have been from long range or have been quick counter attacks, we haven’t really spent much time in the opposition area, the teams who adopt a possession/overload kind of style do tend to win highest number of penalties, so the table above isn’t surprising.

I know the likes of Leicester and Leeds will be playing alot of attacking football so will be around the penalty area more. But the cynic just thinks that this confirms all that has been discussed throughout the season that refs bow to these bigger teams when making decisions in matches?

I can't confirm nor deny your theory, but one extra factor is that the players just know how to go down.

Devine, as just one example, hasn't got a clue how to go down to win a foul.

This in my opinion, is the only downside to building a "nice" squad with our "no knobheads policy".

Compare that to Rutter, Summerville and Dewsbury-Hall, they're the kings of the tumble.

I do agree with this. There’s a big difference between outright diving and just knowing how to draw and subsequently make the most of some contact.

I can’t remember that many stonewall shouts besides Bundu v Ipswich tbf.

 

[Abbotts Ann Green]

We need Lewis Alessandra back playing for us.

Mumba at Elland Road. Tripped by Ampadu.

Now he could gain a penalty from nothing🤣I dont remember many of us complaining with his antics when he won a penalty 😁

I would say when Bazuna wiped out Hardie. Yes Hardie was looking for it, but he had nowhere to go.
