Another classic LUFC stat. The last 46 penalties faced, only 2 saved. Meslier v West Ham and Peacock-Farrell against Reading.

Wondering which Leeds keeper in history had the best pen save record?

03 Dec 2024 15:38:05
Nigel Martin saved only three, one was against Everton with Gary Speed no less as the penalty taker.

feath - how does this stat compare to other teams?

03 Dec 2024 17:12:58
I believe our best GK for penalty saves was Neil Sullivan. 5 in 90 odd appearances if one recalls correctly.

03 Dec 2024 17:28:28
I remember Sullivan saving a lot, don’t remember lukic ever saving one and he wash with us for years

Seems a bit of an odd stat to now Obesse over.

Good call George.

I don't know Alf to be honest, I saw it and thought it didn't sound great to me. If it compares favourably against other teams, fair enough. I don't know about you, but I never even have a feeling that we are going to save one. One thing is for sure, we miss more than we save!

Penalty xG is usually 0.76-0.79, so in 46 pens would expect 9.7-11 saves.

Conversion rates are apparently getting better in recent seasons, so maybe as low as 7. Still more than 3.

03 Dec 2024 17:47:34
Actually I question this data as it’s 3 saved* from last 26 (Meslier 2 from 23, Robles 1 from 3) , which is inline with xG expectations.

* saved including hit post, which seems fair. Data from lufcdata. com.

If you want to go by percentage rate then Casper Ankergren I read has the best at 50% penalties saved. 4 out of 8 for Leeds.
TBF penalties are a total lottery for GK’s, there is a minimum of skill in saving one (guessing which way it will go) and is more down to the precision and skill of the penalty player rather than the keeper.

03 Dec 2024 19:44:08
Keepers can do research though on who a teams penalty taker is and which way they prefer to go. Villa keeper is a great peno saver and he has all the preferences written on his water bottle I think.

03 Dec 2024 20:16:45
Have to agree with OP. A total lottery.

Question for Alfonzo Cuppa

We know you very sadly missed out on the glorious Revie era

I am very curious : how old are you Alf?

Under 35 (you started supporting Leeds in Graham / OLeary era? ) ?

Or are you a little bit older?

03 Dec 2024 22:21:35
I believe alf is slightly younger than me so like me I assume he started supporting leeds under Wilko

I started being a leeds fan 89-90

Sadly I feel some fans of the revie era are the glory hunting deluded fans. Not all but some I put under sane catagories as new Chelsea fans under red rom or new city fans under current regime

Takes a proper fan to support a rubbish to average club. And we are all the better for it.

04 Dec 2024 07:29:22
Yes…. hmmmm. Now let me seeeee. Yeeees. I recall Sullivan saving 5 penalties precisely, but will counter that by being vague about his total appearances……????
(Google……. ) ??.
