So thats a total of
29 penalties awarded (incl. 1 retake)
20 scored
9 missed (incl. 1 retake)
Success ratio is therefore approx 69%
Success ratio of players taking them....
Cureton - 2 taken, 2 scored - 100% success
Doyle - 6 taken, 5 scored - 83% success
Forster - 1 taken, 0 scored - 0% success
Goater - 1 taken, 1 scored - 100% success
Hughes - 1 taken, 0 scored - 0% success
Hunt - 2 taken, 2 scored - 100% success
Lita - 2 taken, 0 scored - 0% success
Little - 1 taken, 0 scored - 0% success
Kitson - 10 taken, 8 scored - 80% success
Murty - 1 taken, 1 scored - 100% success
Shorey - 2 taken, 1 scored - 50% success
Therefore, of the players still at the club you'd want to see Hunt and Murty stepping up to the mark as they have 100% records. More realistically though Kitson and Doyle are well proven with 80%+ success rates.
Personally I still think Doyle is the best overall, but in the long run who cares who takes them as long as they go in!
