i know I'll get everyone and his uncle down on me for this, but the penalty taking responsibility isn't just down to a player (see Guardiolas response to Haarlands honourable but misplaced decision), its down to what is, or is likely to benefit the team/club. Whoever (Allardyce, or anyone else NOT on the pitch at the time), who thought that giving Bamford that kind of responsibility for that kind of kick in that kind of match, needs taking out and giving one hell of a kicking.

Agree 100% about where we might have been with a 2 - nil lead.
