Impressed with you tonight. Should give the players a lot of confidence. Even if you don't go up this season, you should be in a very strong position next season - that said, you've got a fair chance now, and not as over reliant on a couple of individuals as Sheff Utd (I think they'd be who I'd want as opponents if you meet anyone in a play off final)

Sheffield United fans don't really fancy their chances, mate. They reckon they're lucky to have the points they have and a matter of time before they drop off. Just a league where there are no outstanding teams who are going to run away with it.
 

Studies have shown that right footed players most naturally kick penalties across their bodies to the keepers right. In a pressure situation it’s what is most often relied on. Keepers know this. That was two pressure situations.
SKP was the same. If we were winning he’d put his penalties all ower. If we were losing or drawing the vast majority went to the keepers right. Tats why he missed so many.

Top players do miss multiple penalties , even in a single game. I’m sure I seen Martin Palermo miss 3 in a game for boca juniors a while back and he was twice the player Wilson will ever be. Does happen.

I was fking seething but the lad will be gutted so I’m sure we can all cut him some slack, shitty taste atm but we’d have probably taken that point at 5pm.

He's earned his stripes this season, today he gets a pass from me.
 
Regardless of the penalty misses, Wilson should've buried that chance he had. Every f***ing chance he has he tries to burst the net.

He is the only one who laughed at my first comment about my heart being broken for a player and human being I have a great respect for. I took great pleasure and satisfaction from putting him on my Ignore List. So much so I wanted to jerk off. None of the other people on the list had given me as much joy when I put them on the list.

But didn’t want the ball V Sheff United, a goal scorer wants every chance to score goals.

The second one should have been left field, to throw everybody. ONien, Ballard, anybody but Roberts or Neil

But hindsight is wonderful!

I didn’t see our captain taking control for the second penalty. As I said nobody wanted the ball. Wilson took it. Fair play to the lad.
Now let’s all hammer him for how crap the penalties were. Give your head a wobble
