Whelan would surely take one and highly likely to be on the pitch at the end of a play off game, used to hit free kicks so I'd imagine he's taken a penalty or two in his time.
Ward definitely would be hitting one also imo. then your usual's of Brady, McClean and a forward to hit the first 5 pens I reckon.

All these years later, I still can't make up my mind which was worse - the feeble penalty kick itself by Harte or the shanked follow-up 'effort' from Kilbane (the sort of thing you would expect to see at the local park. I remember watching it at home that day and my dad walked out of the sitting room before the penalty was taken between nerves and lack of confidence in Hartey. Can't blame him tbh.

I can still picture the Spanish keeper on the ground and Kilbane with ages to react and the whole goal to aim at sending it wide |

Dyche said there's a possibility he could be back |

That Kilbane effort. Oh dear. Bad memories. Still remember the commentary. George Hamilton: "he didnt make it! and the follow up goes wide..." Jim Beglin "Oh George, Kevin Kilbane's was so easy."

sorry yeah I intended it for the playoffs. As I thought of it I remembered Id started one before for Bosnia, searched but found it was actually the Estonia playoff 6 years ago.
So yeah its a list of 5 takers plus sudden death takers for a shootout. I included Walters as I thought Dyche's comments on Friday gave some hope.

I think the way we play Babbs, there might not be a load of goals in any playoff, and pens are a realistic possibility to decide one. The next time after that it might come up in in the WC 2nd round, and right now, I don't think that's something to worry about too much, which is why I wouldn't be including Walters on any lists.

Deise , I think most view the thread as a general one and not just for the play off i.e if every player was fit who would take them.

Eh, lads, isn't Walters out of the playoffs ? Why is he appearing in so many lists ? He might not be out for definite, but at the moment, it looks very unlikely he will be available.

Yeah Ward would take one I’d say..
Ward Brady Walters Meyler McClean - he shouldn’t get near one if you ask me but he would rip the head off someone to take one. Edited by BabbsBalls - 16 Oct 2017 at 12:09am |

Once it's not Ian Harte with Kilbane following up the rebound we should be alright.

Hoolahan has a weak shot. I'm not sure it would even reach the line

Meyler has taken a few for Hull this year, I would think as captain and the type of character he is, he would be a certainty to be in the first 5.
If Murphy was a starter, he would be unlikely to be on the pitch after 120 minutes. McClean would want to take one too, it would be top corner or row Z. Brady a definite. Maguire or Hogan, if one of them was there, would probably take one. Long, with the form he is in, I wouldn't even bet on him hitting the ball, never mind the net. Wes, if he was on the pitch, would be in there somewhere too. Wonder would Randolph fancy one ?? Something like this would do............... |

Stephen Ward could probably take a decent pen. He was a striker in his younger days.
Some fullbacks tend to be decent penalty takers. Irwin and Harte scored plenty for us. Finnan scored a beaut against Spain in the World Cup. I reckon Ward would put his hand up to take one.
