It's more like 4-5-1, with Odubajo left back and Clucas right wing, it was almost pantomime for the first twenty minutes.

We might be winning, but we've been all over place.

Swanny and Burnsy think it has been the best first half of the season.

Not at the game so have no idea myself.
 
I used to love taking pens me, always surprised when pros miss especially the nominated takers- the easiest way to get on the scoresheet and half the time the keepers do the work for you if you delay slightly

I am the gaolkeeper, the full line up is back row L to R, Dave Lill, Geordie Knutson, Don Beardsley, Trevor Mcmillan,Myself, Paddy Greenwood, Ray Pettit, Fred Smith(Trainer). Front row L to R Trialist, Trialist, Ian Davidson, John Staniforth, Martin Perry, Graham Gelder, John Hart.
If Ian Davidson came from the Goole area I played with him for Goole BRSA.
 
It's not like it's a free effort on goal, there's still a goalkeeper there and if they manage to save it then it's decent on their part. The Marshall one that Proschwitz took was a good save. It sounds like today's was a combination of a soft shot and a decent save.
If you are right footed you shouldn't hit the ball to the right unless you blast it with your instep. Proschwitz side footed the ball which means you have to open up your body and the goalkeeper knows which way to dive.
Some players wait until they see which way the goalkeeper is diving and tap it to the other side. It means you have to be good at making a last fraction of a second decision.
Lambert blasted the ball - usually very near the post to the left.
Whatever technique you have you should take a lot of penalties every week so you are confident of being able to do what you want.

As a goalkeeper, you're taught to make a decision and go for it. You don't have time to work out which way the striker is going. If you go one way and still extend your legs and keep it out, it's a good save. A striker opening their body up doesn't mean anything, what if they're feigning? How high are they going to hit it? Low and hard or high into the roof?

I'd have expected Hernandez to be using the delay technique (last fraction of a second) with his record, I used to retract my foot slightly and send it in another direction, often fell over doing it but always worked
