If its not broken, don't tinker with it.

Douglas Luiz has been scoring, so no other choice to me...

You lot have gone and done it. He’s going to miss the next one now.

Yeah some people just have It with the penalties. El Ghazi was definitely one of them, and Doug's another. Barry, (in)famously. Le Tissier of course was the best I've ever seen, would bury them with the force and inevitability of Bill Gates burying a microchip deep in your brain.

I knew we had a topic on this, and of course it was the much missed FV that started it. Seeing as seems to be getting a bit of discussion on the Watkins thread thought might as well bump this. Could a moderator reset the poll, please?

I genuinely have no idea, maybe a mid game raffle? You could have one of those toy bingo games on the side.

Thank you friendly moderator. I've gone Rogers on the basis he's bound to get good again sooner or later. Hopefully.

I'd tell the penalty taker to cross their fingers during the run-up then, if they miss, say "that wasn't the real penalty, I had my fingers crossed". Grab the ball and take the penalty again. Keep trying this until we score. Pretty simple really, surprised no other club has thought of it.

Based on the state of play, I would have given the ball to to Torres or Kamara.

If Rogers or Watkins were on song and in rhythm, it would be one of those.

Can we loan Luiz from Juve via Forest just for the pens?

He was easily the best penalty taker we've had in my lifetime. I'd bring him back if ever the Premier League introduces "Special Teams".

Special Teams would be brilliant.

Imagine bringing on several line-backer oat houses for a corner or a long throw.

BTW, did anyone else notice that we actually executed a decent log throw tonight?
