...did you think we'd win or lose.
I ask because I've neither met nor read any Albion fan who was thinking "we've got this!"

Thought we'd win before the tie.
Abandoned all hope once pens arrives.
We're just not the sort of team that would win a penalty shoot out

Not awoke
Lose as VB doesn’t seem to save penalties (think he did one midweek) …looked at our players still on the pitch…..Forest have had plenty of practice in previous rounds etc
pasty
A different kind of pasty
Zero confidence. Resigned to going out as soon as the final whistle on extra time went.

Lose. We're a Spursy club. Always have been, probably always will be. We failed at 3 playoff campaigns without even reaching 1 final FFS.

Stood next to my mate who kept reassuring me saying we got this and don’t over celebrate if we score or miss

Forest don't lose on penalties. And in recent years we don't tend to win on them.
The only hope I had was that Forest were missing a number of their regular takers, but even that impact was over-estimated.

I think given the age of our squad, our goalkeepers record getting near to penalties and our general penalty shootout history I was expected us to lose.

Not knocking young Jack - he's a good young footballer, had a decent game and had the guts to step up to the plate. But the minute I saw him walking up to take it, maybe it was his body language or something, my first thought was, "He ain't going to score."
Mind you, I really thought Gomez was going to score! What do I know?

Ah! That happens to you too. Desperate, isn’t it?

Matz Sels always looked the more likely of the two keepers to make the difference. Class act

I kinda thought we might do it, but that was based on a gut instinct that we would win the match and get one over on Forest for once rather than any kind of logic.

Where’s the option for “I’m thinking I’m outta here before the pens!” 
Towards the end of extra time, I was already getting anxiety symptoms as we approached a pen shoot out. By the time the whistle blew, I was getting palpitations - I literally couldn’t watch a sudden death decider. Especially as our record is not good in winning shoot outs.
I found out we had lost from a bunch of stewards looking at their phones as I arrived at the station. Glad I didn’t stay tbh - from the highlights, both Gómez and Jack’s spot kicks looked liKe easy saves and glad I didn’t witness the inevitable grief.

His moving around behind the line would put me off for sure. He’s a good keeper.Matz Sels always looked the more likely of the two keepers to make the difference. Class act

Albion and England I am convinced we will lose a shootout, regardless of form and opposition.
There must be fan bases that go into penalties confident but it’s not the Albion way
