    It's a difficult one to start blaming one person, especially the manager.

    There was an occasion this year when, I think it was benteke for palace, grabbed the ball off the nominated penalty taker and missed.

    Hodgson was fuming but what could he do?

    These players have big egos and if the 'regular' taker is not there or the 'nominated' one doesn't fancy it or is bullied by someone who does fancy it (Madine in our case) is it better to have a stand up argument about it or let the confident one carry on?

    Not blaming Warnock or any individual but it's a little strange there appeared to be no concrete plan about being awarded a penalty?

    I'd like to believe the coaching and playing staff might have run through a penalty scenario during training sometime during the season. Perhaps it's timetabled for next week?

    On the pitch, this should be the captain's decision.
