Just thinking about how many spot kicks we’d been awarded this season as I sat on the bog this morning.

Google turned up the LEP article from yesterday.

8 scored already and just 1 off our record tally for a whole season.

They’ve all been pretty good shouts iirc. A just reward for some attacking footy.

COYW!
 
At this rate we’ll finish the season with 23, 8 more than the previous record for a season which was 15, held by City
 
Someone posted a video of how we'd won them all on twitter over the weekend and for me the DJ one vs Bristol City was a bit dubious but probably because of his jump in the air but the rest are all 100% nailed on penalties. Reward for getting the ball and runners into the box.
 
There's only the Browne one against Blackburn where I think our player has been clever and looked for the contract.

The rest are blatant handballs or impediments, the fouls on Maguire were just pure clumsiness.

Adarabioyo was stupid, even if Browne does get to the ball first, by the time he's picked it up he's on the touchline and there is no shot to get away. Naive to say the least from Adarabioyo but cleverly played by Browne.

Only two years apart in age and Adarabioyo has a big future in the game but for me that's the difference in making 180+ first team appearances in the Football League vs playing at u-23 level. Street smarts.
 
The increase probably has some correlation to creating more chances in the box this season, putting ourselves in those dangerous situations to be fouled

Just realised it wasn't Adarabioyo who made the foul, ignore that.

Still, cleverly played by Browne and naive from the Blackburn defender.
