Brewster has missed his last 2 penalties, Wrexham (League Cup) and Blackpool (22/23 season).

Moore scored his last penalty but last night it was a poor penalty, if you're going to go down the middle at least put a bit of height on it so you can clear the keepers legs, match report on BBC Sport said he mis-hit the penalty?

The one he actually managed to score was pretty feeble. Just give it Burrows or Hamer FFS.
 
Looking at the Stats (all excluding shootous):
Prior to this Season Moore has scored 7 out of 9 Pens, which is just over 78%, slightly below average, but still a pretty solid conversion rate.
Brewster has 6 out of 9 or 66%, which isn't great.
Hamer I can only see one penalty, which he converted, but that was before he even moved to England.
Burrows is showing as having converted 3/3, but I know another poster suggested he'd missed his last couple, perhaps they were shootouts or the data isn't right.
Tom Davies has been mentioned, he's scored 0/1.
Callum O'Hare has scored 2 of 4.

So you can see why Moore has been the preferred option, we don't have anyone who's has a proven record in pens. Giving it to an experienced striker with an okay record does seem the obvious choice. Otherwise Burrows would make sense.
Whilst we may all think Hamer should be good at them, the fact he hasn't taken them for us or Cov would suggest otherwise.
 
They’re professional footballers who get paid a lot of money to kick a ball. Everyone of them therefore should be capable of smashing it in either top corner.

For me Hamer has the best shot on him so should take the next penalty . Its the second time this season we have had a penalty saved. Itwasn't an awful penalty from Moore but didn't feel he was going to score. I think Moore has done OK for us today, but wouldn't be my first choice for penalty taker.

Osula ;)
Said last night it should be Hamer if senior player needed.
Can see him hammering in 8 out of 10 with one or two flying into the river or the moat round the pitch.
NO idea who choose Moore.
Makes the imbecilic choice of McDonkey seem sensible.
Not seen him recently but have the impression from past matches that Sydie Peck has always been outstanding on all free kicks and pens but not sure if anyone would trust him yet.

Not Moore.

1. Hamer.
2. Blaster.
3. Burrows.

Such a bad decision to have Moore on Pens.

Gaffer hasn’t got much wrong this season so far. For sure, this is a mistake. He should now be bold enough to take Moore off them even if it knocks the lads confidence.

Based on what, how he takes them in training, how willing he his to step up, or his record?
 

Obvious shouts are Burrows and Hamer, honourable mention for Souza just leathering it.

Leftfield suggestion would be Anel...strikes a ball well enough and I doubt the pressure would get to him

With both feet. Having a pen saved is forgivable, however if they miss the target I would stop their money.

He doesn’t “specialise” in dead ball situations. For starters.

Not necessarily an issue as he’s more often than not tasked with getting on the end of them.

But it should be a factor.

He’s not the most natural of finishers either. IMHO.

All things considered, he should now be relieved of this duty.

Should it be a bigger factor than his penalty record? Or his actual willingness to take them? (Not that I think dead ball speciality is particularly relevant anyway. Sharp? Maguire? Blackman?)

To say it's "such a bad decision" without actually knowing many of the factors involved is just needlessly negative. It's one thing to suggest player x might be better, but you shouldn't slate the management when they actually talk to player x, who might have said "I don't want to take them".

His penalty record is now 1 in 3.

That’s simply not good enough.

I don’t believe that players, like Hamer, Blaster and Burrows as were my suggestions a few months ago, would turn down the opportunity if it was presented. It simply goes against their undoubted professionalism and belief in their own abilities. I might be wrong.

I have no idea what goes on in the background or in training. Who does ?

What I do believe my well trained eyes are telling me is that having Moore on penalties is, shall we say, sub optimal.

It’s my opinion he should now be instantly relieved of the duty.

Right, so we're including a penalty he'd not yet taken, but discounting penalties he'd taken for other clubs when judging the decision of our management. Thought you were a more sensible poster than that but no harm done.

He has taken 3 for us. It’s my OPINION that all 3 of them were poorly executed.

He has done an OK job for us in general terms although yesterday was an off night.

We have players in the team who should be in front of him on pen duty. IMO.

Would you be confident if / when he steps up to take the next one ?

Were you confident when he did so yesterday ?

I’m in the No and No camp you will be surprised to hear !!

I wasn't confident when he stepped up and I wouldn't be confident if he stepped up again.

That said, once I looked at his record and the records of our other players (or lack thereof), I can understand why he's our penalty taker.

Aye OK. I can’t but hey ho !!

With everyone fit, I would think it's between Hamer, Campbell and Burrows. Davies seems to have a decent shot on him too, so I would back him from the spot.

But in any case, you really should be able to rely on a CF to take a decent penalty.
