John Smith I remember Matej Vydra missed 2 penalties last season. He also missed an open goal at Middlesbrough.
Man am I happy that carthorse is nowhere near my club anymore. Dark, dark days.

And shockingly enough Derby fans are starting to think they've been robbed for the £8 million they spent on him..

The carthorse comment made me think of Tim Dellor's comment and subsequent apology...
Poor Vydra. Unlike Nick Blackman, I actually thought he genuinely ran himself into the ground for us, more than any other loanee including Hector. The amount of easy chances he missed beggars belief though
Like Nick Blackman, I think he is a talented footballer but not a natural, instinctive, finisher. Both are luxury players that you can't afford in the ferocious 4-5-1 era in the championship.
Whilst I want Derby to struggle as they have spent so much, I can't bring myself to want Vydra to fail. But I'm looking forward to celebrating "Nick Blackman Day" at the "iPro" when he has gone over a full year without a goal!

If you include the 4 out of 5 scored in the shoot out v MK Dons we're 7.5 scored out of 9 so far this season.

Which you don't because they don't count, otherwise whoever scored them would get acredited with the goals.
That being said it's still a nice change to see us scoring penalties as opposed to our seemingly poor conversion rate in recent seasons.

Nameless You can't play the ball twice from any deadball situation so same rule has to apply to a penalty (which is only a particular type of free kick)
I think we're getting carried away with the penalty conversion, as long as we are tucking the ball away we are scoring from penalties. Shows players are aware and reacting quicker than the defenders, although would be more economic to do the job first time ! As a positive all our misses are shots on target, we aren't blasting the ball over the bar of dragging it wide...
