Woodcote Royal notably the best penalty taken by a Reading player this season and against one of the best penalty savers in the Prem..
Reina guesses the other way and he saves Hunt's pen pretty easily. A penalty isn't a "good penalty" just because it goes in (although I'd settle for it). A good penalty is one that'd almost certainly go in even if the keeper guesses the right way.
He might have saved it, he might not. but Hunt's confidence, body language and approach shouldn't be discounted. In part, at least, Reina goes the wrong way because Hunt sends him the wrong way.
Unlike with gunn, who I believe is more effective as an occasional starter (not a spot starter, okay), Hunt has shown he can thrive week in, week out, and, based on this weekend, it looks as if convey can as well. What I'd suggest, however, is that Hunt is every bit as influential on the right as on the left, while convey is much better on the left.
Which, if they're equal and a wonderful, little-esque right come in, probably means Convey starts, as Hunt is much more useful on the bench, being able to sub either side (and, I'd agree, I don't see why his style wouldn't work centrally).

HIt a penalty like van persie did the other week and you don't save it.....ever.
90 mph in the top corner is unsavable....literally.
