Official Match Thread Halifax Town v Southend United

[Rayleigh boy]

wtf cannot the management sort out penalty taking.....

absolutely amateur hour from Maher - season 2 of penalty pathos

no excuse - disgraceful

 

[Rob1920]

Wonder what our penalty success rate is over the past few years. Can’t be better than 50% surely, which is woeful. I hardly get excited anymore when we get one.

 

[Cricko]

Lets hope that miss does not come back to bite us in the arse.

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

If you have the touch of an Elephant then put your foot and weight behind it ffs.

 

[Ricey]

Yeah, Jake Hyde.

No not Hyde.

 

[Tommy2holes]

You just knew it: that's two misses from Powell, and the keeper has 'guessed' right both times?

Thats the point. Hit right, it makes no difference whether the keeper guesses right or not.

It goes in regardless.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Ralph looks the type that could take penalties, out of those on the pitch tonight.

According to Glen Pennyfather it had no pace and was a good height for the keeper.

 

[RHB]

Regardless of the pen miss, we appear to have started with our tails up and playing the high press well.

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

Powell going for glory again instead of someone who can actually take a penalty!

 

[WickfordShrimper]

They now all over us, lost our momentum since the penalty miss

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

According to Glen Pennyfather it had no pace and was a good height for the keeper.

...again.

 

[jerseyshrimper]

no more pens please Callum

Useless at penalties

 

[Chrisb]

Probably not a popular opinion - Powell gives his all and has worked hard on his fitness but he doesn't pass to team mates enough, seems to be all about him, not a team player imo.

Mooney,Miley as well..anybody but Powell.

 

[Holy Joe]

According to Glen Pennyfather it had no pace and was a good height for the keeper.

Although he also said it was a good save.

 

[Ricey]

Personally I’d rather have Bridge on the pitch than Powell. I see Powell as an impact player when players are getting tired.

 

[flangejackrabbit]

Of the last say 20 penalties we have had. We have probably missed more than half.

There is no excuse for missing that many penalties.

50% of the last 18 it looks like to me, before that we were very good though and had a long run without missing any.

 

[JAL]

Were proper **** at penalties and it hurts.

 

[Holy Joe]

Game sounds wide open
