From me, exactly the same. Scott clearly has a couple of go to penalties (that we’ve seen) given the Wrexham and Wembley evidence presented to us.

On the face of it, Scott’s penalty looks ‘the worst one’. It’s head down and roll in. But there’ll be all sorts of analysis that goes into it. Look at Fitzsimons;

Goes right for Macca; incorrect.

Stands for Ruben - This clearly shows they know Ruben tries to do a goalie early and then go opposite, but RF can’t figure it. Ruben took what, 11 pens during the season, that’s masses of evidence.

Goes left for Jones; correct but too good a pen.

Goes left for Bostock; incorrect.

At this point, whoever goes fifth is probably thinking, based on some analysis, that RF probably won’t go left three times in a row. He goes right, Scott goes where he goes and we go up. But Scott, who the staff know will probably (not 100% certain, of course) be on the pitch at this point, can also comfortably take pens both ways. Makes him an ideal fifth.
