Ah so do you not add the times you put the ball in the net from the spot onto the score in a match then?
Not this again... Billy’s a great player but do we really need to be linked with him every transfer window.

It’s no indication of the ability of a striker though so when judging one they only distort the facts. As we ( I ) was judging Sharp it’s not worth including them.

So you don't need any ability to put the ball into the goal. That's why every single player is exactly as good at taking penalties as every other player then, I take it? or is that not the case?...
The greatest Doncaster Rovers goal of all time? 28 pass sequence under manager Paul Dickov.....https://youtu.be/Pji7zllUgk0

Just completely irrelevant when judging a strikers ability. Open play goals on the other hand are a much better barometer.
You wonder about the merits of a striker who shys away from taking penalties. It should be their bread and butter. You want your striker to be confident and step up.As there are so many exceptions (Marquis included) you shouldn't discount penalties from a strikers haul as clearly they're not that easy.I don't think Billy has ever shirked the responsibility and his conversation rate must be very good.
It was my quote so I can set my barometer up how I want! Put it another way, if he had scored 10 penalties but no goals from open play in 30 odd games it wouldn’t be a good season for him would it. My point was to emphasise that he’s not as good as he was anyway and he can’t even get a game now so that says it all.
