Ethel The Tree Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Mansfield 5-0 Newport (att: 2,866) Matt Penney makes his 2nd appearance off the bench With his side already five up, he replaces the scorer of three of 'em on 76mins I'd imagine that last quarter of an hour was like a stroll in the park really At least he's getting on though, that's an improvement on last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 No fresh updates, unfortunately Matt Penney was an unused sub for the second weekend running, although Mansfield only managed a 1-1 draw at home to 10-man Coventry Jake Kean is still out through injury His last game was 20th January, a 1-1 draw away to Colchester Grimsby have lost all their games bar one since then, sacked their manager and are sliding perilously close to the drop zone Could say Derby are missing Sam Winnall too They've gone four games without a win since it was announced his season was over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen no explanations for his absence, but that's two consecutive games where he's failed to make the bench Jake Kean has completely fallen off the radar too That's why there were no updates forthcoming - I've been keeping my eye on things though, ready for the first chance to surprise yer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I’m annoyed for penny , as someone who follows Mansfield I can see why he’s not making the squad . Annoying but just one of those things . His chance will come during the run in I’m sure Edited March 11, 2018 by james o connor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 This thread has hardly been a hive of activity tbf So perhaps this is worth a mention - the Central League Cup Final, last Tuesday - Wigan v Mansfield Matt Penney is there, No.27 ... https://www.mansfieldtown.net/news/2018/march/freeview-wigan-reserves-0-3-stags-reserves/ It's also kind of interesting that Flitcroft made the subs, and took Matt off around 70mins, right after their 3rd goal went in Could this be a sign? Is he pencilled in for today's game away at Forest Green? ... refuse to hold my breath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Meanwhile, over at Grimsby ... Liam Wood Injury news Just a couple of minutes now before MJ addresses the media. As thins stand, the current injured players are Kean, Dixon, Osborne, Summerfield and Jackson. But will any of them be back for the weekend? ... that's the first comfirmation we've had in weeks that Jake Kean is still alive Or hasn't been beamed up by aliens at least So did we get an update? 14:32Liam Wood Injury news MJ has spoken to the media at today’s press conference. Osborne, Summerfield and Jackson will all miss-out once again this weekend, but other injured players are on their way back to fitness.

If he can't get a game in League 2 I doubt he is going to be ready for our first team. If he was good enough he would have forced his way into the team. He may need another year of development before he is ready, some players are later developers, it doesn't mean they won't make the grade eventually.

torryowl Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 nearly everyone who's seen him says he's the standout player in the 23s and yet never a sniff of an appearance despite left wing back being a problem area . 2 loans and cant get a game lower down the leagues .........what are those that are championing him seeing that various managers arnt or is it they are seeing something he's lacking that his supporters arnt ?....

Ethel The Tree Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 We know he was subbed off before the end But Matt seems to be absent from the team group holding t'Trophy https://www.mansfieldtown.net/news/2018/march/stags-lift-central-league-cup/ That might be because, as a loanee, he thinks the achievement means more to the lads who got them to the final Or it might be a sign that he's taken hump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 2 hours ago, KivoOwl said: New manager doesn't like Penney Could be true. Before leaving Evans prised him, and said Penney have big part to play in their push for promotion. God knows what is going on there. Under Flitcroft Mansfield won only 3 points in their last 4 games. Fans on twitter already want him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Another slow week on loan watch but it's interesting though ... We know Derby have a tendency to blow it around this time of year, but losing to Sunderland last night means no wins for them in the eight games since Sam Winnall got injured - 5 draws 3 defeats Jake Kean got injured after 3apps for Grimsby and since then - P11 W0 D3 L8 - and they now look to be Chesterfield's best hope of staying up Matt Penney came off the bench a couple of times for Steve Evans, but since Flitcroft took over at Mansfield there's been no sign of him That's five games - no wins 3 draws and 2 defeats - which has seen them drop out of the play-off positions Probably just coincidence, but if there's a moral here then it's 'if they're fit, play 'em' You listening, Flitcroft?
