A320 Sim session,wet runway and crosswind of 20 kts,Up wind engine failure at low speed.To maintain on the runway, along with full tiller and full rudder, differential braking was required. Found it much easier to handle the situation if the feet were on the rudder pedal,rather then raising them from the floor.

As is being discussed here we also have two school of techniques since the FCTM and FCOM are silent on this. Therefore, wouldn't it better to start T/O roll with feet on the rudder pedal and slide them down at about 75- 80 kts as rudders become effective.Suggestions please!!
Thanks in advance.
