Match Thread: Lincoln City v Ipswich Town
- Thread starter Jules
- Start date
I'm guessing it was maybe two seasons ago with all of Akinde's (15?).

I don't have a lot of information on penalties. Perhaps Ian will know? @Imphistorian

I've been mulling it over and after a lot of thought I reckon we've reached the stage where we are nailed on to be Quest highlights before the second set of adverts.

Sam Ellis scored ten penalties in the 1974/75 season (out of ten)
Ellis also scored ten in the 1975/76 season (out of eleven)
Akinde 'only' scored nine penalties (was that out of ten? Can't remember)
I don't know about earlier than the 1970s

Good to know that lambert thinks Ips played brilliantly. As we beat them playing half as good as we have been playing. Bodes well for the rematch.

Yes , but we've had 6 before the end of October ! The last 4 from Johnson er, being tackled. Grant seems more comfortable going to the left with them, wonder which side he'll put the one on Tuesday v Crewe?

It will take me a while to check if it was a record, but in 1982-83 we scored from 12 penalties in FL games (Bell 8, Cunningham 3, Shipley 1) plus 2 FL Cup (Bell 1, Cunningham 1) and 1 FL Trophy (Bell), total 15.
The club record for League and Cup games in a season is 10 by Sam Ellis (1974-75 and 1975-76) and Derek Bell (1982-83). John Akinde scored 9 on 2018-19, the club record in FL for a season.

Notice the comment about us jumping for joy 'and we still have to play them again'
The return at Portman Rd should be interesting, I like a good needle match
If he keeps putting them into the side of the net, left every time because the keeper ain't a prayer.

Seem to remember them doing similar when they won the league game there last season.
