Will Dyche beat Cotterill's no penalty record
Garreth O'Connor scored from the penalty spot against Sheffield Wednesday on New Year's Eve 2005. It was our seventh penalty of the season. O'Connor had scored four, both Ade Akinbiyi and Jon Harley had scored from the spot while Gifton put one into orbit.
Suddenly they dried up. We didn't get a solitary penalty in any of the next 63 league games before winning one at Sunderland in April 2007, and that was a poor decision from Trevor Kettle with Andy Gray scoring.
Move on a few years and in April 2017, Sam Vokes scored from the spot at Everton. It was our sixth penalty in 26 Premier League, all scored with two each from Ashley Barnes, Andre Gray and Vokes. Incredibly, all but one of them was away from home all of which were in games we lost.
And then they dried up again. We've now equalled that 2006-2007 record in not winning a single penalty in our last 63 Premier League games. If we don't get one tonight then Dyche has got the record.
The incredible thing is that we were getting more than our fair share up to the last one on both occasions.

Re: Will Dyche beat Cotterill's no penalty record
All things tend to average out so maybe that is the reason for our present situation. However it may also have a lot to do with the fact that we spend a large amount of time in our own half where, unfortunately, you don't win penalties.

2005-2017 is a long stretch without a penalty.

Re: Will Dyche beat Cotterill's no penalty record
It was hardly surprising under Cotterill. He did a decent job for the first 18 months and after the that it was just depressing. I think following that NYE game we only managed about 8 goals in the remaining 19 league games so with that level of threat up top we were lucky to get zero pens

Re: Will Dyche beat Cotterill's no penalty record
That was the worst decision out of the lot of 'should have been pen's' we have had, for me.

I would love us to get one tonight in the 93rd minute to win the game from Barnes doing a ridiculous swan dive. We are owed that.

The worst decision to go against us since Lee Mason bottling it against PNE years ago.

Hardly a coincidence that the two most recent managers favouring long ball, defensive-based tactics have overseen the longest periods without a penalty being awarded.

That and the one we didn't get when Hart hauled down Wood against West Ham are probably the worst two. It was the same in the Cotterill run when some that weren't given were so hard to believe.

Re: Will Dyche beat Cotterill's no penalty record
......whereas Huddersfield’s penalty for handball when Mike Duff didn’t touch the ball and was outside the box anyway was given. The problem for us is that we don’t really run at pace into the box and so don’t catch the odd stray leg and very few are given to the attacking team for the wrestling that goes on at set pieces.

Re: Will Dyche beat Cotterill's no penalty record
Bloody hell, that was a shocker. No handball and not in the box. Worse still, Duff got a yellow for telling the ref he’d got it wrong and then got a second yellow late in the game.RMutt wrote:......whereas Huddersfield’s penalty for handball when Mike Duff didn’t touch the ball and was outside the box anyway was given.

Re: Will Dyche beat Cotterill's no penalty record
When I think of bad penalties given against us, almost all of them end up being us playing Preston. Off the top of my head.
- Ricardo Fuller dive at Turf Moor
- Stephen Elliott dive at Deepdale
- Lee Roche on Eddie Lewis when not even on the playing area let alone the box
- Whaley stopping a goalbound shot on the line from Blake with his hand in about the 2nd minute, penalty and red card not issued.
I know every team could give a list of pens/decisions not given but over the last decade and half we have had some really poor ones.

Re: Will Dyche beat Cotterill's no penalty record
The Eddie Lewis one was the day Steve Cotterill was done for failing to cooperate with the drugs testers. He was in such a mood after the game that when this bloke knocked on the dressing room door he told him to **** off not knowing he was there to test players.jedi_master wrote:When I think of bad penalties given against us, almost all of them end up being us playing Preston.

Dreadful, dreadful decision by Graham Laws I think. Wasn’t a foul and wasn’t even on the pitch.
What about the two joke penalties against us at Deepdale in 2009, one against Jensen and the other Caldwell?

The Stephen Elliott one I mentioned is one of the two in the 2009 game, he was the player who dived over Jensen's arm.

Arguably since then we've been playing more and better quality attacking football (well for spells last season at least).

Re: Will Dyche beat Cotterill's no penalty record
That's what I mean. If we get an unusually high number of penalties in a relatively short period of time it follows that there will have to be a barren spell or two to compensate for that.ClaretTony wrote:But that isn't the case as shown by the over average pens we were winning prior to the two long spells without one
In sales an average sales person (not the particularly good or bad) will convert at an industry standard in terms of presentations per sales (in insurance for instance its about 1 in 3), but it won't be 1in every 3 it will be 1in 3 or 2/6 or 3/9 etc. But it will average out at 1/3. It's the same in many industries, it's actually quite uncanny. I presume the same will work in terms of penalties i.e. the more you get in a short term the less you will get at another time.
You do still have to get in the opposition area though.

Only one since then at Everton which was as obvious a penalty as you can get.

Re: Will Dyche beat Cotterill's no penalty record
Think it was Matt Hill not Simon Whaley that handled on the line but you're right in saying that Lee Mason bottled it. He sent off two Burnley players later in that game and I've never rated Mason.

Who sent off Trippier in a (I think) 1-0 Charlton win at the turf. He was sent off for handball on the line. Looked dubious as all hell at the time, and even more so with the one camera angle replay. Dyche's first season? Or Eddie Howe time?

Re: Will Dyche beat Cotterill's no penalty record
The law of chance, which you are talking about, is not the law of averages. You can toss a coin a million times and the chances of it being heads every time remains constant at 50%. But the law of averages says that you will, over that number of throws (or indeed pretty much any number) wind up with a fairly even spread of heads and tails.Tall Paul wrote:Gambler's fallacy.

One bad penalty decision given against us that springs to mind is Shackell for a perfectly good forward sliding tackle, cleanly taking the ball just outside the box against Derby.

Re: Will Dyche beat Cotterill's no penalty record
So, you don't want to try it out with a bet? Although the law of averages is not an empirical law as such statistics do tend to back up the fact that things do tend to even out over a period of time, like the tossing of a coin. Tossing a coin a hundred times and coming up with the same result every time IS possible and each toss remains 50/50 no matter how many times you do it but the likelihood of it happening in real terms is remote. In fact last I looked some time ago (and mathematics is constant I believe) the chances of flipping only 30 heads in a row out of 100 tosses is roughly 1 in 30 million.Tall Paul wrote:No, unless you can explain how your proposal has any value in proving this law of averages you're talking about.
Re: Will Dyche beat Cotterill's no penalty record
That one really tipped me over the edge - especially after the game when Olsson admitted that BFS had told him that Dean gives a lot of pens so make sure you go down - how was that not bringing the game into disrepute?

Re: Will Dyche beat Cotterill's no penalty record
Second half last night there was an incident where the Huddersfield player handled the ball with both arms. Against his right arm was from close range, and although you have seen them given they are usually for the bigger teams. It then went across his chest and hit his left arm. Seen plenty of those given, clearly not if you are wearing a Burnley shirt though....

How about we flip coins until we've flipped 10 heads in a row then, by your law of averages, do you think that in the next 90 flips there's a higher probability of 60 tails and 40 heads to even it out, or is 45 heads and 45 tails more likely?

How about we flip coins until we've flipped 10 heads in a row then, by your law of averages, do you think that in the next 90 flips there's a higher probability of 60 tails and 40 heads to even it out, or is 45 heads and 45 tails more likely?
