room0035 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Best Penalty even taken by an Owl had to be Kevin Pressman against Wolves in the cup some year ago, took it as a goal kick and nearly broke the net with the power of it. https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/greatest-penalty-ever-taken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWL1969 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Best 3 regular takers I can recall were Smith, Sterland and McLean. Although the 2 recall Pressman taking were both unstoppable one top corner, one bottom corner, but hit equally powerfully. A strange Quirk for Blair's penalties ( if my memory is correct) was he only took them against 2 teams and had very differing records. His 1st was missed against QPR 3 scored in the same match against Luton Then another miss again against QPR. I'm pretty certain he never took any others. I'm sure if I'm wrong somebody will let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosborough-owl Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Steve Maclean hands down. I never felt he was gunna miss. He even come on injured at the playoff final, Hit the worst penalty I’ve seen, but still managed to score! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stick 7 men on the line. If it’s on target it’s in. If it’s not it’s going miles it’s only the woodwork that’s the problem. Id have risked it.

One against Leeds when he scored the rebound, and another was in the Data Zenith jobbie so doesn't really count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I love a penalty. Not in shootouts but during a game to give you the lead. There’s nothing quite like the anticipation of the run up and that split second waiting for the outcome and then pandemonium or groans of disbelief. Obviously recently there have been more against us but I hope we’ll get another one before too long! Maybe Rhodes will take one just to put that Deamon to rest?
