Yes he`s scored a couple of goals in open play but he`s also fluffed far more when he can see the whites of the goalkeepers eyes.
I get why Bamford wanted to take it as he needed to rid those demons.
But in a game that was evenly balanced I personally think there was too much pressure.
Had we been 2 up then let him take it but not to decide the 3 points imo.
Agree bud.
For me we need to make sure when Piroe is not on the field we know exactly who will take pens. Summerville, Rutter, Gnonto, Bamford need to all be sorted out, they need to get well drilled with pens. Bamford needs to stay well clear unless the pressure is off. We need him to do well and get his confidence back, he can be an asset in this league. But, I think he's in last chance saloon this season. He has to start getting a goal or two.
Not sure any of the mid or James can take pens. Unsure on Jaydon Anthony also. Archie Gray perhaps also could be one? Looks to strike ball pretty well.
Huddersfield game huge now, they are poor but will raise their game for a local derby no doubt. For me Rutter needs to start at 10, his creativity will be needed to break their bus parking down.
