Bent Has No Spotkick Fear - Ipswich Town News
Town striker Darren Bent says he has no fear of taking another penalty for Town, despite missing from the spot in the dying minutes of last Sunday's derby with Norwich.
Bent, backed as a regular scorer from the spot by George Burley, says if asked he'll step-up again: "I want to take the next penalty we get. It was a bit of bad luck to hit the post but if another one comes up I'm ready to take it.
"Fortunately my mate Darren Ambrose was there to follow up and Pablo got the chance to knock in the equaliser which we deserved."
