His penalty at Wembley was pre-planned, the club said as much and he had practised it many times in training. The coaching team noted that Fitzsimons went one way or the other, so it was a sound plan which was inches away from being executed perfectly. There was no arrogance at all, it made sense for anyone brave enough to take it on. When it hit the bar I must admit thinking "here we go again, typical Notts", but it all worked out brilliantly because Cedwyn exorcised the ghost of Wrexham. How anyone can bring up negatives from that day is beyond me.
    I bet you didnt think that at the time..

    Did you read my post? I clearly said "When it hit the bar I must admit thinking "here we go again, typical Notts". That day was one of the most stressful I've had, I went through every emotion big time. But the final emotion was pure joy, and that's how I will always remember it.

    If you want to search for negatives that's up to you.

    And totally ignoring his motm display which included a very unique free kick that took some balls at that stage of the game. Facts are if you put a penalty down the centre and high I would say their hardly ever saved, he missed it. Those types of penalties just have a stigma against them when they are saved or missed, as it’s seen as showboating by some, if someone hits a half arsed one to one of the corners and it’s saved they don’t get anywhere near the same stick.

    Have to agree. It was impulsive and stupid you would expect better from an experienced pro. And yet he does an act of brilliance in the same game which he bossed. Best of luck to him I think he will be picked up by another League 2 club.

    It wasn't impulsive at all, it was pre-planned.

    The club said he had been practising them all week and was given the ok to do it.

    Think the club said they had been studying Fitzsimmons & where he stood for freekicks around the box
