Bunney injured presumably. Back to the back three again. [Post edited 9 Dec 2017 14:30]

From the warm-up it looks like a back 4 with Raff shielding them. McGahey at RB. |  | | |

Aye. Never been a fan of Rafferty there. We've come up with something that suits the players we have, would be strange to deviate away from it again. That would mean Done, Henderson and Andrew in a front three. Both Calvin and Done have been playing better centrally recently. | |

that's how we warmed up v Posh but Raff actually played wing-back - threw me then, will it be same today? | |

We could have 37 at the back but still not be able to defend set pieces. It's a psychological thing.
Pen to Dale... | |

Which Henderson missed. Again.
He needs to actually start thinking about the team when we get penalties. So does his manager. | |

Always looks worse when you try one of those stutter steps in the run up and then don't score. He's missed a few now. Good save but not the best strike
Poor marking for their goal as pointed out. Free header across goal and free header into the net |  | | |

Think he's scored around 18 and missed around 8? Someone posted the stats after his last miss. |  |

Not now. Caught if his line by a looping header. Partly at fault but another weakly contested header from a free kick | | | |

A mathematical study of penalties at Liverpool's John Moores University puts the death nail into the "blast-it-and-hope" approach.
The perfect penalty, it found, is a ball that is struck high, targeted precisely to the right or left of the goalie, and fast, travelling at 25-29 metres per second (90-104 kilometers or 56-65 miles per hour).
Anything faster than this boosts the chance of a miss because of inaccuracy, while anything slower helps the goalie to intercept it.
Moving swiftly to take the penalty (less than three seconds after the whistle is blown) gives the striker the element of surprise, while delaying the strike by more than 13 seconds makes the keeper unsettled, according to the researchers, who looked at decades of international matches involving England.
Waiting for the goalkeeper to move also boosted chances. However, waiting longer than 0.41 milliseconds caused a scoring chance to be halved. A runup of four to six steps was the most successful approach, while a long runup of 10 metres (yards) was the least.
Seen only through the prism of statistics, the balance in penalties is tilted massively in favour of the taker: between two-thirds and three-quarters of strikes result in a goal, according to various analyses in top-flight European club soccer.
