Norwood was rubbish all game but showed some right bottle to smash it in at the end. Kudos to him.

Could have gone anywhere

If you’re following the theory that any shot could indeed go anywhere then I suppose so, yes. If you’re following the reality that he kept his head down, hit slightly under the middle of the ball, facing forwards, it probably couldn’t have gone anywhere.

Make some good running shoes for regular runners

Really Happy for Ollie Norwood I have been quick to criticise him but well done Ollie you stood up to be counted when the pressure was really on and delivered

 

[mattbianco1]

The bollocks on him to hit it that hard and high with 100 mins on the clock.

Someone get that man a drink.

He tried putting it in the bottom left corner

 

[moody1889]

Wow! I'd have probably had an anxiety attack and collapsed mid run up

Same legs would have gone to jelly would be like watching a baby giraffe trying to run

Thought it was one of his better games this season. Involved throughout, only got overrun once, a true captain's performance. And what a pen!!

[Grandmanasty]

Sorry dude, didn't realise.

That unaware of events on the pitch but still feel justified in slating Norwood.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I was fully expecting him to miss. I’ll hold my hand up and admit

 

[mattbianco1]

I liked how he took responsibility and owned the situation obviously he knew the ramifications and that may be why he wouldn’t let Archer take it imo that’s how a good captain works

Correct.

The captain did what a captain should do. He stepped up and took responsibility.

I'll be honest I feared the worst. Not because it was Norwood, not because I thought he'd miss.
I feared for the aftermath if he had missed.

Balls of steel. Captain Oli !

 

[Sheffsteel]

What a pen.

Can't f..ing believe it....left the ground 3 minutes from the end.
However felt reasonable happy, even with 1 point and was intending to come on here defending him

because if we'd have drawn loads of Blades would have been saying Hecky out.

Still wasn't impressed with the quality today but the desire and effort reminded me of a Warnock/ Bassett side. In that 2nd half it looked like the higher quality Wolves players were feeling sorry for themselves in the cold rain, as we out battled them into submission.

 

[Half Bond Jls]

The lads been moved on everytime a clubs gone up. He's found his home here and anything he can do like that fair play to the kid. He loved that goal.

I didn't slate him, I just said he wouldn't be the person I'd pick to take it which you've interpreted incorrectly.

 

[SB_90]

to do that knowing that he was villian alot of the crowd. as he was part of the reason why wolves got back into it as he went back to giving possession away easily. but absolutely nerves of steel. & absoulte admiration to Norwood

 

[VictoryBlade]

He tried putting it in the bottom left corner

lol

 

[Stretch]

Chuffed for him.

You could tell how much that meant today and I quite enjoyed his little lash out of "what?!" to the Kop and kick at the hoardings. Comes in for a lot of stick, always has, even when he was at his peak for us.

Sometimes we forget that these lads are professionals and it's all too easy to accuse them of not trying or giving a fuck, when in reality professional pride will be gnawing away at their insides with every bad performance and dropped point.

Whatever you can say about Norwood, you can never accuse him of not caring or giving his all for this football club. He looked distraught at FT v Fulham and v Arsenal. He knows what is an acceptable performance and what isn't.

I hope he enjoys his beers tonight, he deserves them.

Up The Skechers Blades

 

[JJ Sefton]

My heart sank when he stepped up, but all credit to him for a cracking shot.

[Berkshire Blade]

Was like one of those penalties you see in a shoot out where the standard is crazily high.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Absolute better of a penalty. 10/10.

 

[Bladeloyal]

Great bit of play from Sousa ,took the pressure off

 

[unitedbhoy]

Brilliant Ollie lad, belted it!!

What a moment, what a feeling for that man and he deserves it some of the shit our fans give him.

Top Blade and never hid today

 

[Toronto Blade]

Great penalty that made up for giving the pen away in our last game.

 

[FTPE]

Eerie silence before he steps up.
Balls of steel Ol.
You can see what it meant to him.

 

[true99blade]

The state of some comments firmly cements the idea he’s our main scapegoat. Has the balls to step up knowing that, and wins us our first game in the 100th minute and some can’t bring themselves to give him credit. Well I’m very chuffed for him, deserves it. Good lad Ollie.

Good job it’s not you taking the decisions then.
