    Norwood, Connell, and Phillips all being suggested as penalty takers but by the end of extra time it's unlikely that any of them would still be on the pitch to take one.
    Really hope it doesn't go to pens as we've not exactly had much practice at them this season.
    Plus, Bolton's keeper looks pretty useful to me.

    Yes, if we're going to win, it will most likely have to be in the 90 mins. We've missed 3 out of 4 penalties this season, and the back up midfielders aren't going to win us the game in extra time. The fact Duff didn't bring any of them on in the first leg is telling.

    Hard to pick 5 for two reasons neither of the starting strikers will be on the pitch and a good chance some of the starting midfield wont be either
    I wouldnt let Cole near a penalty so hoping he starts with Tedic again
    Then
    Norwood
    Watters
    Kitching
    Cadden/Larkesch ( assume one will be on the pitch)
    Benson/Kane (ditto)
    At one time we were really good at penalty shootouts but I wouldnt expect us to beat Bolton in one, we need to win the game ideally in normal time but certainly by the end of extra time

    I'd go along with that, maybe have both Kane and Benson take one if they're both on the pitch, instead of Kitching.
