Nugent V Phillips

Who is going to be taking our penalties?

 

Both of them, i would guess one would replace the other.

 

Doubt they'll be on the pitch at the same time very often.

 

Whoever is better in training - doesn't matter who puts them away as long as they are put away.

 

I imagine Phillips if he's on the pitch unless Nugent is on for a hat trick or something.

 

Just noticed Nugent is only 3 goals behind the top scorer in the league. Really he should have been at least 2 or 3 ahead not behind but for all the criticism he gets that pretty decent. Regardless of that fact 9 of his goals have come from the spot it still a decent return

 

I'd assume Nugent will continue as our nominated taker, if Phillips is going to be used as an impact sub & has replaced Nuge then he'll take them. If he's on for Vardy we won't be winning any anyway.

 

If Nugent is your nominated taker, keep it that way.

 

He's scored something like 9/11 penalties which is pretty impressive really. I think he's scored about 7 from open play too so he's not doing too badly- that's getting on for his normal average of 15 a season. We're getting goals from all over the pitch- De Laet's wonderful finish against Derby is indicative of this so I'm not too worried if our strikers aren't scoring as many as Burnley, say. Watching some of Nugent and Vardy's misses, and with Knockaet, Dyer and Drinkwater's support, Phillips must be licking his lips at the prospect of sticking a few in the back of the net.
