Boussama , he takes a wicked free kick , penalties should not be a problem

Unfortunately I still think Tomer may have been the best penalty taker I have seen at the Albion (and that is a long time!)
I still don't understand how he did it

He's taken one good shot in a pre season friendly. Unfortunately the rest have been abysmal.
He was shocking when he came on today

I wouldn't be surprised to see Gross take the next one if he is on the pitch. Remember, Gross was taking them because Murray missed a couple that were poorly taken (something that seemed to escape the memory of the people behind me complaining when he didn't take the first one). I'm not sure I like the idea of changing penalty taker every time a player misses one. We did that in league one one year and I'm not sure we scored more than two penalties in a row and half the team ended up with a go at being our penalty taker.

The last 2 penalties Gross has taken have been utter cack! Completely different technique to dead ball delivery from free kicks and corners, which he's usually good at. Muzza's back on them for now, should always be a striker (who's more used to hitting the net from closer range than, say, a defender).
Gross is better than Murray IMO, but needs a rocket up his arse when doing so, slow-mo-euro style is not PL 'friendly'

If GM is not on the pitch either Locadia or Jahanbakhsh will be so there is the answer.

Hmm. Think I'd rather have Maty put his laces through it! Up to him but reckon Montoya could be a shout!

The free kick part is true but he wasn’t shocking when he came on. Got on the ball, passed well, drives forward, great run on 1st goal all the defenders went with him. No shock we were a better side with him on the pitch. All opinions though I suppose

We've got a lot of new players. Even if one isn't better, hopefully they can do a bit of pushing in training and improve the incumbants.

All three of Gross’ penalties have been poor, Tottenham at home last season, and then the two this season. Doesn’t hit them with any conviction and looks very nervous.

Without the benefit of getting the to wtch them in training every day or knowing their full career histories, my order would go

Knockeart
Montoya

Not Gross after two bad ones.
Brian Horton.
Failing that, Murray.

Perhaps try Propper in training as for all his good play that seems the only way he will score a goal.
