If (IF!) this was to go to penalties on Sunday...

...will somebody please staple Ulloa's feet to the half way line?

Come to think of it, who on earth would- confidently- take our five? :ohmy:

Based on the team that finished up on the pitch vs Forest, this would be my 5 (based on nothing but gut feeling)

Hardly an inspiring list TBH!

1)Calde
2)Ward
3)CMS
4)Andrews
5)Ulloa

It would be a worry. I think our best chance would be subbing Brezovan on with 1 or 2 minutes left on the clock. At least he has a fairly decent penalty saving record. I cannot recall Kuszczak saving a penalty since signing for us.

In terms of penalty takers, I would trust Spanish Dave, Ward and Calderon. After that, I would be worried.

Not sure after that.

Also Brez on in goal. Imagine the psychological blow that would do to the other team, knowing we were bringing a HUGE penalty specialist on.

Havnt we had this one already?

Ward, Lopez, Calderon, Bruno would all take a decent one, although probably wont all be on the pitch.

Who took them for the Wrexham FA Cup game?

This is PIVOTAL.

Bringing on a keeper for a shoot out doesn't happen anywhere near often enough, and Brezovan has a very enviable record with penalties.

Imagine if we bring him on right at the death and he flaps at a cross causing us to concede though!

Yes but imagine if he spooks a Derby player making them miss and then saves one, he'd be approaching legend status in my eyes and I don't use the term often.

I'd GENUINELY be annoyed if we had a sub left with a couple of mins to go and DIDN'T bring Brez on.

He's like the Fran Sandaza of goalkeepers, he knows and we know that he hasn't got a huge amount of talent but when it comes down to the wire, you can rely on him to stand up and be counted.
