Once your found out they'll stand up to you and start saving them. Whitts to be fair was fantastic. Ralls needs to strike the ball to beat the keeper and not rely on finding an empty net. Ralls had warning last night, with the first the goalie waited and nearly saved but it just about crept into the corner. He should have realised if he hits down the middle, this goalie saves it.

What are you on about? The keeper definitely didn't wait to see where he went on his first penalty, he dived before Ralls shot and Ralls still beat him, great pen. Whitts went down the middle a lot, and I can't remember a keeper ever saving one when he did, can't blame Ralls for that.

The keeper had already seen where Ralls put the first penalty, so I thought the keeper would either dive the same way, or think Ralls would put it in the opposite corner and dive the other way. I never expected the keeper to stand up and I still think it was the correct decision from Ralls to go down the middle.
Unfortunately, the keeper stood up and caught it. But 9 out of 10 keepers would have dived, it was just one of those things. I don't blame Ralls at all as he put the penalty exactly where I would have. It took a lot of balls for Ralls to be brave and go down the middle and it's one of those where if the keeper dived out the way, we would all be saying what a clever penalty it was. I don't blame Ralls at all and I definitely wouldn't take him off penalties because of it.
