Who takes penalties for Nottingham Forest?
Morgan Gibbs-White is Forest's primary penalty taker, with Chris Wood serving as deputy. With both off the pitch, Elliot Anderson has stepped up.
Interestingly, Igor Jesus also took a penalty in the same game as Morgan Gibbs-White while the Forest skipper was still on the pitch, with both finding the net against Porto. Gibbs-White also handed penalty-taking duties to James McAtee in the 4-0 win against Ferencvaros with the side 3-0 up late on.
But for penalties of significance, Gibbs-White has typically stepped up, though there have been occasions where he's handed the ball to a team-mate. When Gibbs-White is off the pitch, Wood, Jesus and Anderson generally look to be next in line.
