That was his 4th at least... His previous two league ones were top draw ... players miss pens. The great god Kane missed a massive one for England that cost us the game in the WC
Trandfermarkt lists 2 that he scored in regular play/ Doesn't include shootouts.
I remember the one from the shootout in the Carabao last season. Can't think of another one.
Sorry but a CB/defender should not be a designated penalty taker IMO. And don't come back at me with Phil Neil or Mel Sterland because they were exceptions to the rule (and there are probably more). But if as a squad cannot find 2/3/4 designated penalty takers out of the attckers we have: we are in trouble. Attackers are paid to score goals whether set pieces or otherwise...

Stuart Pearce, Steve Bruce.
Messing with you
Honestly though. Strujik has shown himself to be decent from the spot. In my memory, he was 3/3 before that. The one he scored against Salford last year was a cracker. And, he's shown more composure in the box than most of our attacking players. But I do agree that we should have 2 or 3 better penalty takers - Piroe would have taken it. But you'd think Aaronson, Gnonto, Ramazani, Joseph, Gruev should all take a decent penalty.

Not replacing Rutter will cost us dearly. And Farkes tactics are p1551ng me off. We are not playing to our strengths. Oh and PIROE must start next match...
I said we needed a Georginio earlier Victor. No doubt the powers that be did disagree...

I take your point though, I’m not keen either.
Don’t cry because you said goodbye to your pet, smile because you said hello

It sends you nuts watching it Leon.
What happened to taking the game by the scruff of the neck?
Forget promotion with Farke in charge.
We are so predictable it's not funny.
It does drive us nuts, James.
We need to be more incisive & direct with our passing. Twice today, Dorigo said we can catch them on the break now with a man advantage, what do we do? took the wrong option by playing a pass sideways. meanwhile, Cardiff have time to get their defence in shape before we attack again.
Btw, I'll nominate the current Cardiff side, as one of the worst championship teams I've seen in a long time. The bluebirds are known for their physicality & fight, today they were meek as a mouse!

We win and everyone moans what do you guys want?
we played nearly 80 minutes against a team so lacking in character I can't recall a single player worthy of mention. Today was like eating fish and chips without salt and vinegar. It does a job, but leaves you wanting. And the lack of bite in attack is getting a bit repetitive.

We want to see football that instils belief in us to think we have a realistic chance of going up with this team/squad. How could you not know that?
PS: Thank my wife for encouraging me to change my previous sentence in the above paragraph where, after some deliberation, I made it a question. My original text was a shade more unbecoming of a man of faith. Have a good day sir

I am happy with the win and 3 points.
But this is probably the easiest away game we will have all season, they could barely lay a glove on us. We should have had a hatful and the camera panning to Farke clearly showed his frustration.
It was for the most part lacklustre by quite a few players.
