Ollies penalty

[RaySmith]

Yes it is interesting when you see players waiting and preparing to take a penalty. Some look as cool as a cucumber and so confident, as Olly did.
Others look as though they don't want to be there, and visibly shrink, and you can see the confidence draining out of them.
Especially in penalty shoot outs, sometimes you can almost predict the ones that will miss.
It's real pressure, and not every player can handle it
Olly looked as though he was looking forward to it and enjoying the suspense and drama.

I'm sure  he felt the pressure, but importantly didn't show it, and  seemed to keep control of his feelings.

He showed how to take a pen - know exactly what you are going to do, then do it decisively and firmly -  no dithering, half hearted effort  here.

Just the slightest feint to send the keeper but the height was good enough to score even if he had dived the right way.

Worth nearly as much as the goal.

Absolutely! Seeing that has just made my Sunday!

A very well taken pen and super celebrations. Brighton fans have woken up and want Ollie back now!
