Bad Wolf Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 I know he hasn't for us in his 2 and a half years of taking our pens. Was he penalty taker for any of his old clubs and did he ever miss, anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 I was wondering this the other day. How many has he scored for us now? We've been lucky with penalty takers over the years with Le Tiss and David Peach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsland Red Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 David McGoldrick was the best entertainment for the neutral, the stylish way he stroked the ball into the keeper's hands every time. I've often wondered how much better we would have done if someone else had taken them as from memory he missed a hat full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints_is_the_south Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 Was thinking about this too and was going to start a thread after Saturday's game but never got round to it. Lambert is the best penalty taker I've ever seen, even better than MLT imo. He hits the ball so accurately and even if the keeper gets a hand to it (Carlisle at Wembley for example) the power he puts behind em any keeper is going to find hard to stop.

Hamilton Saint Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 Michael Owen missed 10 of them. mental. I presume you mean that it's a mental thing - i.e., a matter of self-confidence; in which case I agree with you. Lambert radiates an aura that says, "This is going in - there's no way you're going to stop me!" James Beattie had the same attitude. He would put the ball down on the spot and, without looking at the keeper, would walk back a few steps, turn around briskly, and hammer the ball into the net. Yes, mental toughness is a big part of being a successful penalty-taker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsland Codger Posted 3 March, 2012 Share Posted 3 March, 2012 Quashie's miss at QPR (hit the post) in what proved to be Theo's last Saints game was the first official miss since Sideways Jim several seasons before. I say 'official' because Quashie failed with one at St Marys against Norwich (?) but it had to be retaken for encroachment and he scored with the second bite. After that it was a sorry tale of misses as Lighthouse points out on post 40 above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
