Reading's Penalty Shoot Out Record

[Royal_jimmy]

It's not a disastrous record by any stretch

[SCIAG]

I want to say someone like Doncaster in the 2006/07?

IIRC Peter Maté scored the winning pen.

Not quite. Mate scored our third goal in regulation time. Our other, more storied loan centre back, Andre Bikey, scored the winning penalty.

I had all the components there, just couldn’t quite put them together

Beat West ham on the evening of 9/11, Wycombe away around 3 years ago.

As far as I can make out the full record on penalty shoot outs is this:

Won
Lost

1. Feb 1993 - Exeter City (a) (League Trophy thing) L 4-2
2. Feb 1998 - Cardiff City (h) (FAC4) W 4-3
3. Sep 2001 - West Ham (h) (LC2) W 6-5
4. Jan 2003 - Walsall (h) (FA3) L 4-1
5. Sep 2006 - Darlington (h) (LC2) W 4-2
6. Sep 2008 - Stoke City (a) (LC3) L 4-3
7. Sep 2010 - Northampton (h) (LC2) L 4-2
8. Aug 2016 - The Franchise thing (h) (LC2) W 4-2
9. May 2017 - Huddersfield (n) (POF) L 4-3
10. Aug 2019 - Wycombe (a) (LC1) W 4-2
11. Sep 2019 - Wolves (a) (LC3) L 4-2
12. Feb 2020 - Cardiff City (a) (FAC4) W 4-1
13. Aug 2023 - Ipswich Town (h) (LC2) L 4-1

So Reading have played 13 of the things and won 6, seems to be a record that's pretty much what you'd expect for any team really.

So, if you haven't missed any, looks like we are on a run of win one/lose one over the last 7 shoot-outs - so when we make the play-off final at the end of the season, we better hope it goes to penalties

Unless we have a shoot-out in the FA Cup of course.

Beat me to it, but my list is:


EDIT: Corrections

Including the Coventry shoot out then it's seven wins and seven losses.

[Fox Talbot]

Lost to Marlow on pens in last season's BBCSF through some pretty slack shooting - and the Marlow massive shining phone torches at our lads.

[Jackson Corner]

It’s better than Englands and Man Utd

Keeps the win one/lose one sequence since 2016 going. Will lose the next one then.

Could get another 3 this season (presuming Reading don't make the play offs of course!)
