I'd like to see what gabby is like.  He usually gets 10-15 goals a season without penalties so the opportunity to bag 5 more goals a season could elevate him from a good striker to a great striker, in people's perceptions at least. 

I think this boost in confidence would help his game no end.

Of course, if he's bobbins at it then Carew (if playing), Petrov or Ireland should be given a crack.

After the newcastle match, anyone but Carew. That was awful and, to make it worse, the miss has buggered his game right up.

The ''hit it as hard as you physically can'' routine falls down when you don't account for aim. From Yorkie's cheeky dink to Carew's piledriver we've certainly seen the spectrum of penos.

I'd go for Ireland. He can place a ball anywhere he wants.

I'm actually surprised Ash didn't take it, or even Downing. I think that's the last we've seen of Carew from 12 yards mind you.

I always worry about both Carew and Young's mental states, they seem a bit fragile and prone to overthinking. Maybe Petrov? He's calm under pressure.

I think Ashley should take them. His conversion rate so far is shit but so was Yorke's at first... his technique is good enough to make him a regular penalty scorer. I have been saying for a while that Carew's "whack it and hope" was more luck than judgement.

We haven't got one !

I'd have gone with JC before today, but my oh my.

New striker = new penalty taker.

No Manager = no new striker.

Dear me.
