Those of you who keep the stats might be able to say how many penalties we've conceded so far this season. I would say that it's too many.

I think that a few training sessions on how not to foul in the box might be in order. It didn't matter against Bristol Rovers, but it did against Carlisle. If we keep on giving away needless penalties, how many points might be dropped?

Might help if we score when we get one too.

I think I heard Dulcet Dave agree with Joe Gallen it was four conceded.

Agree re scoring Dohnut. I’m also wondering when we last scored an EFL penalty. Pretty sure I heard it quoted we were the only L2 team last season not to score one, those we had we missed, so we’re on a run of misses too!

At home to Exeter Vigs bought down an attacker in the box - stupid mistake
Away to Carlisle Beckles was adjudged to have hand balled in the box - imo very harsh decision as he was so close to the player he wouldn’t of had the time to react and move.
Away to Newport. Clay brings down his man in the box - Can’t really argue it Clay just didn’t know the player was there.
Away to Bristol Rovers Ogie brings down his man, again can’t really argue the pen just another stupid decision by a defender to cut across the back of an experienced striker who would obviously go down under contact.

So far this season the 2 pens at Newport and Carlisle have cost us 4 points which would see us joint top. If we can cut out these mistakes, imo we can comfortably finish in the top 3.

We last scored a penalty in a league game on 21 January 2020.

Josh Wright scored it, in a 1-1 draw v Northampton.
