Worst in the EFL - the team with a penalty problem

While fans would normally celebrate their team earning a penalty, Newport County supporters could be forgiven for putting their heads in their hands.

With three-quarters of penalties successfully converted, on average, earning a spot kick would normally be reason to celebrate.

Not so for Newport where anticipation has been replaced by apprehension.

Across the past two seasons, they have converted just two of nine penalties in all competitions - and only one of six in League Two.

Their 16.7% conversion rate is the worst in the entire English Football League (EFL).

And for a team just two points off the play-offs, missed penalties could prove costly.
