Good point about who would have taken the pen, made me think... JBG has a sweet and reliable left foot, Twine took them for MK Dons while Foster scored one recently for South Africa.

I thought that of Twine but he never scored a penalty for them.

You are right, he took one, missed it but scored the follow up.

It won't matter as we'll still comfortably win the league, however that failure to award a pen is baffling.

That said despite that we should have won this game. and if I'm being hyper critical we need to sharpen up defensively.

We switched off twice at crucial periods, the 1st on the stroke of half time, and the 2nd after Benson's gaol, and paid dearly on both occasions.

QPR another side who are battling to survive, but surely we'll get the title won on Saturday in front of a packed TM.

As blatant and obvious a handball as we are likely to see apart from picking it up in both hands.

I just assumed he had taken them last season - they only scored one pen in 2021/22 and it was scored by Troy Parrott. I wasn't aware that he'd missed one.
