Extra training

Sat Apr 07, 2018 5:56 pm

Hope the boys spend some serious time during training practising their penalty taking.

If we end up in the play-offs there's a fair chance that we could be involved in a shoot out and a repeat of last night's poor showing could be catastrophic!

We could do without any more Kenny Miller/ Anthony Gerrard type penalties. :o :o :o

Losing the title by 0.024 of a goal (GD calculated differently back then) to Huddersfield Town, which is the closest margin ever in the history of the English top flight.

Was the penalty miss against Birmingham and did it finish 0-0?

The following season a mistake by Harry Wake led to the goal that cost Cardiff the FA Cup versus Sheffield United. Apparently, Annis’ website went into meltdown with negative comments, but all was forgiven in 1927. True srory! :old:
