Proudlock had a glorious chance to hand his side their first win in 19 matches after Andy Sandell handled in the box, only to blaze the kick over the crossbar with four minutes remaining.[LNB]But Woods - still searching for his first win as his side desperately battle to avoid the drop - refused to criticise the front man despite the miss.[LNB]"You have to pick people who want to take a penalty and Adam is our designated penalty taker and he wanted it," said Woods. "I have never seen him miss one but that is the way it goes. He is confident with them so it was a surprise.[LNB]"When something like that happens you worry about letting one in down the other end but it is disappointing because if the penalty went in we are five minutes from full time and a win.[LNB]"We definitely should have won the game and when you get a penalty with five minutes to go you expect to win."[LNB][LNB]
