Currently orlandi. If Dobbie is on the pitch though then Dobbie!

Orlandi on the basis he is more likely to be on the pitch than Dobbie. Dobbie if he becomes a regular starter.

We need to find two. I wanted two choices. Dobbie and Bridge. Right now we need to find three. The third one would be Sparrow*, fourth one would be Calderón. So we need a fifth one. Still thinking. I prefer Barnes to Macca .... (*probably would be first choice if in the team)

We don't have anyone who will score every penalty, and until fans accept some will be saved no matter who takes them, I don't think people will be happy whoever is the penalty taker.

We want a score rate in excess of 62%, the Premiership average. I would want forwards with this rate of good chance conversion as well. It is running at less than 50% this season.

Gus Poyet prepared penalties for Wrexham, so why not for League games? Not Bridcutt though. Orlandi?

I've chosen Dobbie. Got promoted with Swansea and Blackpool so understands what pressure is all about. He's the man to take the pens.

Yes some will be saved but Barnes scoring his hat-trick of misses takes.him away from pen duty. Need someone who can handle pressure so Dobbie is the man.

Need someone with a cool head and who is in the first team to score penalties and take the chances. Dobbie showed he can do it.
But I can't see how we can out him in the team instead of Barnes until Bridge is fit again. And even then I can only see Barnes as our aerial threat up front.

How soon is now?
Leon knight(no he's not alright, he's a turd) said that you shouldn't be a pressional footballer if you can't hit the target from 12 yards. That's probably the most sensible thing he's ever said....
As someone above pointed out, it needs to be a first team regular, so I'd go for Hammond

Like last minute penalties against fierce rivals to avoid a defeat.
