fpowl Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Played in an era where had a proper team and was playing at a level we can only dream of now He was round good keepers at the time, schmiceal, grobbalar, southall. Who all played at the top teams pressman was with us at that time when we was at our best. Basically he was a top 6 premier league keeper and our squad got worse a club legend very underrated shame he’s not involved more with us 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better than the 2 we have now. We need to replace Dawson and keep Wildsmith as a back-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 On 15/06/2021 at 09:16, hasthagotanycheese said: The money we spent on Woods was wasted quite frankly, Pressman was just as good. To be fair, Pressman was struggling to get in the team before Woods came because he was coming back from a knee injury and Turner was keeping him out. It was good business to bring Woods in at the time because Pressman really only had potential at that point. The stupid thing to do was to bring Srnicek (RIP) in a few years later because Pressman was on top form then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pressman 1 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Best keeper in my time watching wednesday was a fav player growing up still got a shirt with his name on would loved it signed but probably got no chance now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Powers Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 The reason why I support Wednesday. No affiliation to Yorkshire or Sheffield and my family are from the midlands, but I met him on holiday in the Algarve when I was 9. That was it and became an Owl straight away. Not sure whether to laugh or cry about it at times though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Powers Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 And has arguably taken the greatest penalty in PL history. Four keepers in the net wouldn’t have stopped that one against Wolves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 He was better than Chris Woods. Chris Woods played for England. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was better than the Chris Woods we ended up with whose confidence seemed to leave him after the FA Cup final. He was a little bit behind the Chris Woods we thought we were buying. But only a little bit, very unfortunate for Kevin that he was playing during an era filled with the Likes of Shilton, Seaman and honestly, Woods before he signed for us, otherwise could see him having gotten some proper caps.

Don Penn (pen) Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Made his reputation really based on great performances v United. Every Manager dropped him and signed a replacement. Turner, Woods, Srnicek etc until we were so bad, Pressman was the last of our worries and he kept his place. A good solid keeper who probably underachieved on the whole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrysgame Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 He was a very good keeper, reliable and was easily top 5 in the country. Re Woods, liked him and was a quality keeper, just made a mistake when it really mattered. In fairness, during the past 30 odd years we have had some bloody good keepers started with Hodge one of my favourites, would clear out any defender to get ball.

Utah Owl Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) He was good enough to be 4th on our all time appearance list with 478 appearances. If it hadn't been for the signings of Woods and Srnicek (RIP) he would have easily surpassed Andrew Wilson's all time record of 546 games and more than likely reached 600+ appearances. Yet strangely when we talk about "Legends" he seems to get overlooked. Anyone making that number of appearances for us should be classed as a legend.

Marro Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Good keeper in his prime. Never understood the Chris Woods signing as I thought Pressman was a far better keeper. We’ve had some great goalkeepers over the years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Best English keeper to never play for the full England team. Over looked for lesser keepers such as Tim Flowers and Ian Walker, had he played for another club he would have been an England regular. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
