When including penalties Soucek has also risen to be our 5th all-time Premier League top scorer (staying at 41 goals), trailing Di Canio (47 goals, of which 15 were penalties) and Mark Noble (47 goals, of which 28 were penalties).
Antonio has 68 goals when including penalties and Bowen has 64 when including penalties.

Good - he’s completely sorted our set pieces out, we’re even decent attacking them now despite not having a consistently good taker. The defence is miles better. Summerville is on fire which I think is because of their relationship and the trust in him l. Above all on top of that, Nuno seems a good guy and great club representative
The bad - he’s clearly nervous with our position, which leads to awful in game management. Today wasn’t the first time we’ve sat so deep. I know we got the win in the end but that equaliser was coming a mile off. There’s never proactive subs. I like Potts a lot but that sub today was atrocious. I’m wary this sitting back will bite us in the end. Why is Traore no longer used? Off the bench he’s a brilliant option.
Whatever happens I hope he stays on at the club. He’s been a huge improvement. Maybe we would see the best out of him if he wasn’t managing what is, let’s face it, a weak and poor squad, in this precarious league position.
Also massive shout out to Soucek again. I can’t believe I doubted the guy a few months ago. I love him so much
The stress of pulling ourselves out of the hole and trying to fend off Spurs and keep within reach of Forest and Leeds makes it hard to feel like sometimes we’ve been really good all things considered
Of course, everything is changing week by week but if we keep grinding out results & De Zebedee gets Spurs firing, the two teams that were all smug 3 hours ago, could be in the thick of it.
Obviously we want the other three teams to keep losing while West Ham go on a tear up, but the media will be happy to have it a 4 team gunfight.
Inspired by this comment from u/drewgrof: “‘Callum Wilson is looking to terminate his contract’ is an all time sliding doors moment at this point”
So what really are our all-time sliding doors moments?
This is not good
