It would be interesting to know the stats on number of pens awarded in a season. Seven so far this season seems quite a lot to me.
Gudmundsson scored from the penalty spot at Leeds this season, so that makes it 8,
Season 85/86 we were awarded 10 penalties all taken by Mark Reid. 8 from 10 scored with the failed attempts coming at Crystal Palace at home (For his hat trick) and away at Middlesbrough.
Season 95/96 we were awarded 11 penalties. 9 from 11 were scored. Lee Bowyer missed at home against Huddersfield and John Robinson missed at home against West Brom. The 9 pens were scored by five different players
Paul Mortimer 5 Carl Leaburn, David Whyte, Mark Robson and Bradley Allen all with one each.
Seven different players in one season attempting to score from the spot and not a penalty shoot out to be seen!
As follows: % Ratio followed by Pens scored and how many taken
This information is from Colin Cameron's Home and Away book and club handbooks there after from 2003. Since 2003 it does not mention if any Charlton player missed a pen, bar Sordell last season so there may be one or two inaccuracies. Penalty shoot outs are included.
Darren Bent 100% 9 from 9 Yoni Buyens 100% 7 from 7 Deon Burton 100 % 7 from 7 Andy Reid 100% 5 from 5 Clive Mendonca 94% 16 from 17 Derek Hales 88% 15 from 17 Bob Curtis 87% 20 from 23 Charlie Revell 86% 6 from 7 Frank Lock 86% 6 from 7 Mike Kenning 86% 6 from 7 Paul Went 86% 6 from 7 Paul Mortimer 86% 6 from 7 Alan Pardew 86% 6 from 7 Sam Lawrie 85% 11 from 13 Mark Reid 83% 15 from 18 Richie Bowman 80% 4 from 5 Darren Pitcher 80% 8 from 10 Jason Euell 75% 9 from 12 Johnnie Jackson 73% 11 from 15 John Hewie 71% 5 from 7 Keith Peacock 71% 5 from 7 Roy Matthews 70% 7 from 10 Stuart Leary 67% 4 from 6 Dennis Edwards 67% 4 from 6 Harry Gregory 57% 4 from 7 Graham Stuart 57% 4 from 7 Eddie Firmani 50% 5 from 10 Mike Flanagan 50% 3 from 6 Colin Walsh 50% 3 from 6 Steve Brown 50% 3 from 6
Other notable records but less than 5 pens taken are as follows
Paulo Di Canio 100% 4 from 4 Tommy Caton 100% 3 from 3 Jonatan Johansson 100% 3 from 3
Great stats but need to edit the Di Canio, he had a penalty saved by Seaman up at "The City Of Manchester" but tapped home the rebound.

Good knowledge. Thanks for that. Will amend the list.
Just noticed that 2 of Bob's 3 misses were at home to Preston. Would that be Alan Kelly goal for at least one of those occasions?
i think he was in goal for both or did kelly get injured during one of those games ?
the first game was the anti climax last game of the season when we knew palace would be promoted
the 2nd game was the game that clinched our promotion and i remember thinking oh no history repeating itself when he missed but Bobby Goldthorpe and Killer came to the rescue
Didn't realise Bob Curtis took so many. His consistency over so many more than anyone else surely makes him our best ever? Yoni Buyens has a chance to match him if he hangs around for a number if years but 20 out of 23 would take some beating and much longer than any modern- day footballer is likely to hang around.
It seems that the vast majority of missed penalties are at home. I assume that has something to do with added pressure from the home fans. Interesting.

I think it may just be that we get more penalties at home. Bob Curtis only took 4 of his 23 penalties away from home.

I seem to remember that Mike Kenning's only miss was a night game and a rocket penalty hit the post.
I understood that in training he would tell the keepers where he was going to put them

Season 95/96 we were awarded 11 penalties. 9 from 11 were scored. Lee Bowyer missed at home against Huddersfield and John Robinson missed at home against West Brom. The 9 pens were scored by five different players

He also missed in pre-season at Portsmouth. That's why it seemed like he'd missed quite a few in a short period of time.
