Would you take a penalty shoot-out right now?

[Triggaaar]

I don't think much of the poll options.

The chances are we won't win at Derby, they've only lost 5 games in the last 36 or so, and I don't imagine they were at home, so of course I'd take penalties. But it's not the 'best we can hope for'.

 

[stss30]

Are we? I think our record in shoot-outs is actually well in credit?

Off the top of my head:

Won:
Man City (LC)
Shrewsbury (JPT)
Swindon (FLPO)
Millwall (JPT)
Wrexham (FAC)

Lost:
Luton (JPT)
Orient (JPT)

(I'm sure there's probably loads I've forgotten)

You are forgetting the unforgettable Woking away shootout secured by the FLAIR of Cristian Baz

Good shout.

So, 6 - 2 in our favour then.

Can't think of any others. Pretty good record all told, just need to make it there now...

 

[ManxSeagull]

We have lost others so 6-6, for a while we hadn't won a penalty shoot out:

Lost to Fulham 1995 FA Cup
Lost to Sudbury 1996 FA Cup
Lost to Gillingham 1997 League Cup
Lost to Brentford 2000 in what ever the lower league cup was called then

We only need to win by one goal. No away goal rule in the playoffs. 0-1 in ninety minutes, plus one more in extra time = job done.

So we do need to win by two goals or more? Or do we need to win and score at least three? I'm confused ....

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I'm confident we'd win a shoot-out. Bring on Spanish Dave at 119 minutes and let him take number one, followed by Ward, Calde, errr....

Come on boys, we can win this without going to pens!!!

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Yes I would.

 

[Durlston]

Absolutely. I have a strong feeling that it'll be a 1-0 win after 90 minutes at Derby.

What happens after that, who knows?

 

[Footsoldier]

No. I'd rather we go out fighting than rely on penalties and be humiliated because we haven't got a good track record have we.

You mean their keeper falling over and them failing to even score 1?

That was definitely the funniest shoot out I've ever seen.

Why would we need to score 3?

 

[fat old seagull]

I've plumped to win outright, but I'd take the penalty option if it were offered.... as long as I didn't have to take one !
