I'm really annoyed about this. CH talked about showing the FA Cup respect for the first match, but it's as if he doesn't want us to progress...

[Albion] Good chance of penalty shoot-out and Ryan not on the bench

There is no way he would sub the keeper unless he was injured anyway.
Have I been whooshed?

How many pens has he saved anyway ? Can only recall one (Stoke).
I think there are two points here:
1) We have the same goalkeeping coach for all our keepers. Button got close to the penalties he faced in Ryan's absence. I wouldn't write him off.
2) Are you surprised? Hughton has always (at least since joining us) been focused on the league and treated the cup as a distraction, always made wholesale changes. Any significant cup runs have been largely due to the luck of the draw.

Wasn't it three he saved at the Asia Cup ?

This was a major reason for my concerns. Another was that in the event of injury to Button, we only had the fourth choice keeper on hand.
What a strange reply. An outfield player is sometimes replaced for one more appropriate in a penalty shootout, so why not a goalkeeper?what a strange thread...………. Because you always change the keeper just before a penalty shoot out
Good news, we won. Penalties not required.
