Taking a penalty is one of the most pressure-inducing challenges in all of football, and taking one in the 90th minute to win the game is a task that separates the boys from the men.
Right. Let’s get an Albion conversation going. Today’s topic. Pens.

And West Brom have been a side who have been blessed with some pretty good penalty takers from Igor Balis to Rickie Lambert, and with no football to talk about for a while, the Baggies’ official Twitter account has been putting the question to supporters as to which Albion player, past or present, would be the most assured to score from the spot in the 90th minute.
Will West Brom be in the Premier League next season?
Yes
No
With the Baggies bolstering an impressive library of former and current stars to choose from, lots of fans on social media had a plethora of answers to the question, including some interesting choices being bound around.
Here’s what plenty of West Brom supporters had to say on Twitter about the question…
Charlie austin, he doesn’t miss
