No problem Threefivetwo, but I beg to differ. If it becomes second nature in training, which I am fully behind, then that should transfer into a match scenario. I fully accept that some penalties will be missed or saved, but a 70 % success rate is, or should be achievable and I would urge the manager and squad to be returning that ratio next season.
