The lottery cliche not entirely true is it. Taking a penalty is a skill that some people are better at than others. One thing I’m not sure of, that someone may be able to clarify, is that why did we go second and at their end?Is there two tosses of the coin select ends and who goes first or did we actually choose to go second?

I said before the pens, I didn’t fancy Haks taking one because I thought he might try a Panenka, he didn’t, but looking back at it there wasn’t much conviction in his attempt
Have to smash this mega decisive penalties down the middle. The keepers nearly always dive. They can’t just stand there can they.
Total lottery as we all know but in the finest of margins, shooting second and at their end could have made all the difference. Be nice if the police decided the penalties needed to be taken at our end on safety grounds Also I feel adelakun taking the last penalty was a mistake, as good as he has been he maybe doesn't feel like someone you can rely on in the high pressure moments but maybe he felt confident enough and volunteered. Some cracking penalties from crewe though, gave TLT no chance with the 4 they scored

Much more margin for error if you hit it high as you say.

We were talking about this on the way home.I just don't get why penalty takers don't just smash the ball at the keeper's head. If the keeper dives, there's a box 6 foot wide by three foot deep that is a certain goal. Surely any problems footballer can hit a box that size with a hard shot from 12 yards?

Do players really volunteer to take them? That doesn’t feel right for starters. If I was a manager I’d select the takers and go as far as telling them where to put them. That clarity must be worth a lot. It’s indecisiveness that causes a lot of missed. I’d also ask Ironside what he does to send the keeper the wrong way every time!Surprised Moly didn’t take one. Best technician in the team and also the best ball striker. The two main requirements of taking a penalty…

The two main requirements of taking a penalty…Paul Cook (Chesterfield Manager) was on the Sky Panel for our match and he said that he always chooses the penalty takers himself and bases that on telling the individual player that he can rely on them to score.
I wonder if we practised penalties or not after the game on Monday?
Just watching the EFL highlights show, the penno claim on Hurst when he got barged over was clear as anything, but then again, this ref gave us nothing all game, so he wasn't going to start then?
