But yes, back to the loanees - I get the feeling this move is the end of Penney's time with us, I doubt he took kindly to being loaned out when we've only really got one true left back in the squad and not a particularly great one at that.

Think his lack of experience and how to balance his attacking and defensive duties coused him some problems. Certainly got all tools to combat Championship wingers. His positional sense was abysmal.

sonofbert2 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Loved Penney, something about him - let’s hope a spell in Germany instils some discipline into his game and he loses his defensive looseness because he’s cracking going forwards.

Maybe this was the reason he froze them out, hoping they would move on? No secret that we were screwwed in terms of FFP if we didnt go up that year. Maybe DC didnt have the stadium sale plan lined up at that point and told Jos to move big earners and those deemed surplus on. Think he was always gonna struggle here. He came, he tried, he failed. Club was a mess behind the scenes anyways so anyone would have probs failed. Either he was told not to play them by DC or some senior players were trouble. The glaring clue was Westwood. Only a fool would say Westwood was our third-choice. There was something else afoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For start he is quick and left footed, and those two are base requirements for left back position that none of our other left backs have. Moving on then. Had a quick look around on the Reading Hob-nob forum, and searched “Joao”. Its like Owlstalk from 16/17 when Lucas couldn’t stand up. He is an odd one. Talent to burn, all the physical attributes, yet something missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethel The Tree Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 Macclesfield 2-3 Port Vale (att: 757) 2nd round of Trophy matches and as if to confirm my earlier assertion that Connor Kirby has nailed his place in Macc's starting XI ...? He was an unused sub for this one South Shields 2-0 Gainsborough Ciaran Brennan started his game though, made a goal line clearance and picked up his first booking too But the league leaders broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute Then added a second in the 93rd, after Trinity had played the last 25mins with 10 men 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comments range from a shìtter version of Emile Heskey when Heskey was at his shìttest to the worst striking performance they've ever seen Vs Blackburn.

Ethel The Tree Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 25th September - Scottish League Cup qtr final Livingston 0-1 Rangers (att: 8,160) Tempted to say Jack Stobbs has nailed his place on Livi's bench, but it might be taken too literally Despite going a goal down after just 5mins and failing to have a single shot on target throughout the whole game His manager obviously decided that was the best place for him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate of mine is a season ticket holder at Swindon and doesn't go to any league trophy games and has literally zero interest in them. Having said that I think he went when they made the final (DiCanios Swindon v Sheridans Chesterfield). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue with that It's barely 20 miles between Burslem and Macclesfield - it's a bloomin' local derby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 While we're on about attendances ... The non-league games don't generally publish theirs straight away, hardly surprising really But the South Shields v Gainsborough game attracted 1,205 Which is pretty good for a 7th tier match on a Tuesday night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethel The Tree Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 27th September Wehen Wiesbaden 2-0 VfL Osnabruck (att: 3,723) This a clash between two newly-promoted sides VfL finished up 3.Liga champions while Wiesbaden went up via the play-offs after finishing 3rd Joost van Aken's 6th consecutive start probably marks VfL's worst result of the season so far as their hosts were rooted bottom of the league with one solitary point, no clean sheets and 23 goals conceded after seven games .... until tonight !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
