Who’s the next penalty taker?

[Bronson]

I always feel a penalty should be hit by your sweetest striker of a ball, which for us would be allan or hanlon.

Surprised so many have said hanlon. I completely agree with you, just thought it was quite a left field shout but clearly not!

[Hibeesmad]

I'd like Doidge to take them so he can score as many goals as possible.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Tommy McIntyre took a decent penalty for Hibs at Hampden, so I'm not against a defender taking penalties. Given his past record Hanlon wouldn't be a bad shout tbh.

[Monts]

Bring back Colin Murdock

Coolest penalty ever that Semi final. Huns needed to miss and did then up stepped Murdoch, I thought fk sake.

[Eyrie]

Allan takes the next one, but if he misses I'd ask Hanlon to take over.

Allan should be nowhere near set pieces never mind penalties. Missing 3 from 7 is a terrible record. McNulty missed his last two. Don't think any of Doidges goals have been from as far out as 12 yards. Boyle has missed his only pen. My vote would be Hanlon or Newell

Allan has only missed 2 from 8 and Boyle has actually taken 5 penalties and scored 4 of them

I got Allan's record from here - https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scot.../spieler/60904 two of the misses were from previous clubs but to me he has taken a relatively small number and missed quite a few. McNulty has taken quite a few more so I restricted what he had done at Hibs.

I take it you numbers include shoot outs. To me that is slightly different. Any link to where you get those stats.

Allan is a confidence player to me and today he was very poor so all those losses of passes from bad decisions may have been in the back of his mind. He looked nervous in the run up and it was a fairly routine save once the keeper guessed right. Similar to McNulty's pen a couple of games ago.

[Brooster]

Horrendous effort today (yesterday) with all that bouncing around before striking the ball. Paul Hanlon should be taking our penalties.

[The Sundance Kid]

I was counting their records for Hibs in both shoot outs and normal games. I understand that a player’s overall record for all teams is a better indicator than just looking at their record for Hibs so if Allan and/or Boyle’s records are worse when taking these into account then fair enough.

However, I don’t see how scoring/missing from the spot in a shoot out is any more or less valid than doing so within 90/120 minutes. If anything the pressure is even more on a player taking a penalty in a shoot out as it is then the only difference between winning and losing.

My stats aren’t from any website but just from keeping track myself. To give some background to the penalty stats for the two players mentioned, below are the record for both players in a Hibs jersey:

Allan scored in the penalty shoot out defeat to Dundee United at Easter Road in 2014
Allan scored in the 1-1 draw away to Stirling Albion in the league cup group stage this season
Allan missed in the bonus point penalty shoot out against Stirling Albion in the League Cup group stage this season
Allan scored in the 3-0 win against Arbroath at Easter Road in the group stage this season
Allan scored in the penalty shoot out win away to Kilmarnock in the League Cup this season
Allan scored in the 2-2 draw against Livingston at Easter Road this season
Allan scored in the 4-2 win against Dundee United in the League Cup at Easter Road this season
Allan missed today in today’s draw with Livingston

Boyle scored in the semi final penalty shoot out win against Dundee United when we won the cup
Boyle scored in the penalty shoot out defeat away to Brondby
Boyle missed away to Dundee United in the season we were promoted
Boyle scored in the bonus point penalty shoot out defeat away to Ross County in the League Cup group stage
Boyle scored in the penalty shoot out defeat to Aberdeen at Easter Road in last season’s League Cup

Certainly I would not be ruling either of them out from taking penalties in the future, as they still have positive records from the spot

Top stats, to me a positive record from the spot is very rarely missing. I never realised Boyle had scored so many in shoot outs, that is fairly decent but I vividly remember the miss at Tannadice which was poor but Grant Holt takes a share of the blame for his part in it. Maybe Boyler deserves a shot at it as his finishing has been much better this year and he also looks more composed.

[The 90+2]

Anyone but McNulty. Allan or Hanlon should be on them.

That would be Mallan then but unfortunately injured.

And once he's fit he'll be on the bench in most games, not starting for us.

Hanlon.

Didn’t Marc McNulty have a phenomenal penalty record with Coventry. Can’t recall the numbers but it was highly impressive

Scott Allan. Show me a player who has regularly taken penalties and I shall show you a player who has missed penalties.

Matt Le Tissier, Mario Balotelli, Rickie Lambert, Leighton Bains, Graham Alexander, Eden Hazard.

The best penalty takers very, very rarely miss.

[Brightside]

Paul Hanlon. Not missed one since he was 10.

Great post.

We have a team of professional footballers, none of them being able to consistently score a penalty is a disgrace.

Allan is not one of the best players in the world though so he has no right to miss one.😉

Never mind penalty's get Allan off the corners. They stupid floated balls are really frustrating!

Hanlon always hits a good penalty. Has Doidge had a chance yet?

Missed one away to Arbroath in the 3-2 friendly defeat. It was a terrible penalty.

Scored 6 and missed one for Coventry and his record is scores 2 and misses one on average(give or take). A good penalty taker must be at least scores 3 misses 1 imo and even then I wouldn't say that was great

Not a daft idea. I remember Tommy McIntyre being our penalty taker despite having the likes of Keith Wright in the team.

[Keyser Sauzee]

Think Hanlon is a good shout. Penalty takers don’t always have to be forward thinking players, David Unsworth wasn’t the most fashionable left back but he had a fantastic record from the spot.
