Who is taking the pens?

**marleyhib** · 31-10-2010 07:07 PM

With Rankin missing from the spot yesterday and Deek missing his last three (I think) who the **** should take the penalties, especially if we get one next Sunday!

We must have a really dire penalty conversion record.

**madabouthibs** · 31-10-2010 07:08 PM

Our recent penalty record pretty much sums up the team confidence right now as far as I'm concerned.

Makers Takers

***essexhibee*** · 31-10-2010 07:16 PM

Liam miller for me.

***3pm*** · 31-10-2010 07:17 PM

Derek Riordan.

Class and no brains so won't give a 5h1t about missing the other 3.

Vote 1, vote Derek.

Watching Liam in the pre match warm up his shots invariably fly over the bar so I'll plump for Ed De Graaf

***Danderhall Hibs*** · 31-10-2010 07:19 PM

Mark Brown. Big massive tae punt down the middle.

Totally agree. Just practice a wee bit more Deeks. we trust you.

**~~Hibercelona~~** · 31-10-2010 07:28 PM

We'd be as well getting Mr Blobby to come on to the pitch and take them...

I'm sure he'll be practising this week just in case.

Why did he not take it yesterday?

if youve missed your last three would you be running for the ball wanting to take a potential game winning pen?

Yes, otherwise when are you going to try again?

if your not feeling confident dont go for it and there will be plenty other times he can re find his penalty form

**Wotherspiniesta** · 31-10-2010 08:10 PM

I know he's missed his last three but, to be honest I'm quite dissapointed he didnt take the responsiblity yesterday. Purely because he was given the captaincy, I thought maybe Derek would have stepped up and lead by example.

Nevertheless, it still should Riordan taking the pens.

**marleyhib** · 31-10-2010 08:28 PM

I would go with Deek

Next Sunday.

**madabouthibs** · 31-10-2010 08:30 PM

Riordan for me, just take the pens from 25 yards out!

***Diclonius*** · 31-10-2010 08:33 PM

De Graaf.

With a keeper in front of him, he should have no problem.

**Albion Hibs** · 31-10-2010 08:39 PM

I Riordan can get his act together from the spot I would suggest him, a little extra practice and some composure and he should be fine.

If not him then I would say Miller. Season ticket holders in the famous five have to take out extra insurance when Rankin is in the squad just in case he decides to warm up his shooting boots!

**bob12345** · 31-10-2010 08:47 PM

Perhaps for this game Riordan, but he clearly isn't the man for the job long term, a good penalty taker doesn't miss as many as he has.

Trying to think experienced players that are clean strikers of the ball. Ian Murray? Michael Hart?

In all seriousness, whilst it isn't the biggest priority, a good record with penalties should be an attribute looked at when making new signings. It can be 6/7 goals a season.

I can't understand a striker who doesn't want a free shot at goal from 12 yards out and for a player who's supposed to be a dead ball expert he's not really stepping up in my eyes.

Paul Hartleys scored 7 penalties already this season.
