Who would have scored that penalty?

[Buck Rogers]

Windass.

Has that same look about him like my dog does when playing fetch-ball - dopey but unfazed by anything but the bloody ball.

He wouldn't even think about the pressure.

Just get the ball and smash it in.

Poor penalty, low and hard but so close to the goalkeeper.

 

Imagine being 2-0 up against 10 men, it'd been game over.

 

I'm sure I heard a call from the bench of "Barry, What was that? that was ******** crap", but maybe that was my imagination.

How much do we lose getting relegated? Think about that m8.

For someone as technically gifted as Bannan his shooting is absolutely atrocious 

 

12 goals in 234 appearances across 6 seasons for a central midfielder is pathetic, averaging 2 goals per season

and aint 7 of them pens? thats 5 goals from centre mid in 6 years ,his shooting is far worse than you will see in park football. quite simply the most over rated player in the history of swfc. name some1 who shoots as bad and has such a poor goal record? is mostly shocking from corners and freekicks is weak and cant tackle ,but can knock the ball about well.

Seem to remember Fletch missing a penalty against Villa two seasons ago,  which would have put us 2-1 up. Villa of course went on to win 3-1 in added time.

Windass, Paterson. Should both step up before Bannan.

They would probably love to but no way is Bannan letting anyone else near any dead ball situation.

Just seems a very odd stat for someone of his talent and is a near ever present. A centre mid should be between 6-10 goals a season

 

I suppose when you look at Hutchinson and Pelupessy’s goal scoring record, Bannan’s doesn’t look too bad

Except their duties are usually as sitting/holding players!

Llera and Reda’s jobs were to keep goals out but they still chipped in regularly with goals

You could say that K Lee scored far more goals but in addition was far better defensively than BB. Same would apply to Sheridan , why is it that BB cannot defend.

 

[sternlad]

My blind in one eye, one legged Uncle Ronnie would have scored, done a back flip to celebrate and shoved his crutch up the referees arse for a finale! No one...repeat...no one should ever miss a penalty.

Should have put Rhodes on to take it

Players miss penalties all the time. Messi has missed 28 in his career and scored 99 so even the very best miss them regularly.

 

Yes its frustrating that Bannan missed but its not the reason we lost or the reason we are going down.

 

You meant draw not lost, but, Yes, yes it IS the reason we drew. had he scored we would have won 2-1. 

Players shouldn't miss penalties all the time.  They overthink it. The GK has to stand still, the ball is static, it's 12 yards from the goal, and you've spent your entire life practising kicking it.  Take a long run up and smash it as hard as you can. Very occasionally it will hit the GK (but bounce back), and even more occasionally it will go over the bar, but almost never.  A professional should miss no more than 1 in, say 50.

 

Although I've been going a long time and I don't think we've been awarded 50
