John " Blast the shit out of it " Carew.
I'd keep Ashley away from it.

Carew has a better hit rate than Angel had. Give it the big man

I cant imagine Gabby being any good at penalties whatsoever.

Carew if on the pitch, if not Ashley Young seems a safe bet.

Those backing A Young - on what basis are you advocating him? Just because he's a forward with a bit of skill?  Have you not seen some of the absolutely shit penalties he's taken for us?  What is it 3 out of 4 or 5 he's missed? Has to be Carew if he's on the pitch, otherwise I'd be tempted to let Dunne blast them in.

Carew then Downing then either Warnock or Ireland (if he's any good, I dunno.)

The older ones amongst us, alright very older ones, will remember Stan Lynn taking penalties! I think the goalkeepers prayed he wouldn't hit it straight down the middle!  He also blasted them in from short corners.  It was a brave, or stupid, defender who got in his way when they saw him thundering in.  The ball was heavier then as well so was like a cannon ball at the feet of Stan Lynn.

Does anyone know if Ireland takes a good penalty?

Carew is the obvious choice, but will we see enough of him once Gabby is fit if we're going with a 4-4-1-1?

Ashley's got his swagger back, get him on them if Johnny ain't on the field.
