Penalties
Thu Apr 22, 2010 2:52 pm
Really hope that the play off semi final ( or even the final) does not go down to penalties but with all the potential play off matches being quite tight affairs usually, I hope our boys are doing some practising already.
I would have Whitts, Chopra, Burke, McCormack and Bothroyd as my five penalty takers. With Marshall being such a good shot stopper I would be confident of him saving a few opposition penalties also.
I know it's impossible to recreate in training the pressure of the match situation but surely the more practise the players get beforehand the more confident they should be if they have to take one for real.
As long as Bothroyd doesn't repeat his first effort in the League Cup (was it Dagenham or Bristol Rovers - where him and chops were then fighting for the ball to retake it?).
Just blast it Jay!
