Possibility of penalties...

[Dancing Sock]

But TK has been up against BETTER penalty takers to be fair, Brezo's have been against League1/Championship players.


I don't think I could handle a penalty shootout to be honest, I get enough tension as it is with Sussex CCC.

For the pens please. Lua Lua can strike a ball very well too if he is on the pitch.

TK should probably have saved Leeds pen the other day, it kind of went through him.

So TK saves 1 in 10. That's play-off heartbreak, right there.
CA saves 1 in 6. Not enough. Wembley tears.
PB saves better than 1 in 3.

Good stats, and confirms what I've said previously. Get Brez on the bench in the play offs please, and if the scores are level after 119 minutes, get him on. It will freak out the opposition, that fact we bring him on - put in their takers' minds the idea that he must be brilliant at saving them. He's also massive. If you were stood over a crucial penalty at Wembley, Brez would fill the goal.

I was told by someone at the club that Brez has a very good memory which is one of the reasons he saves penalties. The GK coach can tell him which side a likely penalty taker will go before a game, and he'll remember each one. Most penalty takers tend to favour one side more than the other and rarely vary it.

Can't believe the amount of suggestions for Orlandi. His finishing for us has been terrible when he has too long to think about it!

I can't believe the number of people who haven't got Orlandi in, seeing that Poyet is on record talking about having three spot-kick specialists at the club: Spanish Dave, Vicente and Orlandi. I think we can take it that those would be the first choices. I do think Hammond would be up there too.
