Not gonna lie - I wouldn’t trust Gyokeres with a pen in the first 5

I don’t see who else you’d choose instead.

I know he will take one like - but none of his pens for us have filled me with confidence, he’s missed 2/4 hasn’t he?

the ones he scored weren’t great

Took good ones against WBA and Birmingham I thought. If it goes to penalties I think Wilson may well save one or two.

 

[Hobo]

Why is nobody keen on Bidwell taking a penalty?

He has a good shot on him. The sort that just smashes it down the middle.

 

[pusbccfc]

We'd have no chance in the shootout.

Why.

Penalty shootouts are a lottery. On paper Middlesbrough have a far better lineup but really on the day I think it comes down to mentality.

if you saw the notts county game maybe not
they brought on a keeper just for the shoot out, and his 2 saves were worldies

 

[pusbccfc]

Why.

It's obviously a lottery but Wilson isn't going to save one. Granted he did at West Brom last season but he's not a towering keeper like the Notts County lad on Saturday.

Equally, I don't fancy Vik on penalties. Hamer, Allen etc aren't good finishers really.

Absolute tower of a keeper.

I winced when I saw them change the keeper but then I saw the size of him and I wouldn't want to take a penalty.

Cian Tyler’s pretty tall if that’s all we’re after. Come to think of it we should stick him up front and save cash on Hudlin

Saw 23 viewers on this thread and i thought that maybe...just for a moment that he may be available...sad that i got excited for a potentially rusty/unfit Palmer for the sake of the play offs

 

[stupot07]

He does free kicks and corners though, so command of a dead ball is there.

Someone on Twitter put Wilson-Esbrand as one of the 5 penalty takers. 1) why would you put that kind of pressure on young lad who's played just 14 championship games. 2) his corners are terrible, which doesn't inspire confidence with a dead ball.

How could he do a warm down if he's not played?

Well exactly, but thats what people said he was doing yesterday

More likely a fitness test

If it comes down to the last penalty of the shootout, and we just need our 5th taker to score to reach Wembley, there’s only one person you want taking it….

A jog around a pitch to determine if you are fit?

He’ll need a month to get over the blisters.

He's scored one goal in 61 matches for us and missed some sitters.

The West Brom pen weren't a great pen, but he scored so can’t really knock it.

the Birmingham one was well placed, ultimately he’ll take one of the first two and I hope he scores and proves me wrong.

At the end of the day our penalty shootout record is less than stellar so ideally we avoid it

After 2 hours of play and the customary lack of subs I’ll be impressed there’s 5 players left standing never mind taking penalties. If we’re going to go out I would rather in normal time without some poor sod having to miss a spot kick.

I'll have Dublin take one. He'd still score!
(Let's also bring Gary McAllister off the bench to take one as well)....

 

[dadgad]

Dublin actually fuckt up when it mattered….fa cup….fifth round…

Well you've fuckt up as well as it was the 6th round. ;-)

Funnily enough I was saying this to a friend earlier, is he still contracted to Huddersfield? Or can we call him back - keep a sub back for pens?

Surely we can recall him now their season is over? Keep him, Godden and Palmer on the bench, bring all three on at 120 mins.

Waghorn contract with Huddersfield is till 30th May. I don’t know the technicalities but not sure he can play for us till post 30th May. Play-off final is 27th May.

Pretty sure you can only recall during a transfer window.
