MrEdwards Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Maybe Penney didn't play because Wednesday have said we want him back from June 1st? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 26 May Greuther Furth 0-2 VfL Osnabruck Joost van Aken didn't make the matchday squad - might be due to injury, or else the coach needing to shake things up after the lousy run they've been on? Either way, this was a huge result for VfL - first win of the year and a rare clean sheet to boot They even had a third goal ruled out by VAR Still too close to the drop zone for comfort but perhaps JvA will now have his work cut out to get back into the side 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 27 May St Pauli 0-0 Heidenheim And whaddya know, Matt Penney failed to make the matchday squad in this one an' all Coincidence or is something up? On the face of it, a good point for Jos's crew - Heidenheim would've gone 2nd with a win Visitors also missed a first half penalty so a goalless draw is probably okay But where's Matt (and Joost)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess their loan deals have expired and are being renegotiated till end of the season in Germany? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Don't know why Penney and Van Aken were not included in match day squads today, but for me it is positive that Penney left dreaded KIN football agency and signed with New Vision sports.Hate bloody KIN.

Ethel The Tree Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 29 May VfL Osnabruck 2-2 Jahn Regensburg Joost van Aken missing from the matchday squad once again VfL's hopes of building on their one game winning streak took a knock when they went 2-0 down and then missed a penalty before half time But two goals in three second half minutes levelled things up A win would have seen them move above their visitors to the dizzy heights of 10th in the table The draw means they're currently 5pts above the drop zone with five games left 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls-Fan Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 No Penney in the St Pauli squad today again either. I guess it’s the loan deals needing to be extended etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the third man Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) So what happens if the come back, as it appears they might have, can they play for us? what does that mean for loan deals over here? Edited May 30, 2020 by the third man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not heard anything about him getting injured or anything along those lines. Here is how well St Pauli with Penney in their team and without: 1. Penney starting - W5 D4 L1 = 19 points from 10 games 2. Penney getting subbed on - W1 D1 L1 = 4 points from 3 games 3. Penney not included - W2 D4 L6 = 10 points from 12 games Promotion form when he is starting and relegation for when he is not in a matchday squad.

Ethel The Tree Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 30 May Karlsruher 1-1 St Pauli The draw keeps things as they were at the bottom of the table - Karlsruher 3rd bottom and St Pauli 5pts ahead of them The home side edged it on stats and missed a 2nd half penalty before St Pauli took the lead around 55mins The lead only lasted a couple of minutes though and Jos getting himself booked in injury time suggests a nervy finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 5 June VfL Bochum 2-0 St Pauli Matt Penney recalled to St Pauli's bench .... but he didn't get as far as the pitch It's hard to fathom the details (unless you're watching the game on tv) but Bochum seemed good value for the win They went ahead from the spot after 15mins, had one goal ruled out by VAR before half time and another for offside after the break The 2nd goal that did count came 15mins from the end and sparked Jos's final round of substitutions Didn't make much difference though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the stats with Penney playing compared to the stats when he’s not involved. Speaks volumes. I don't know enough about Jos's squad to question his selections tbf Perhaps you wouldn't normally change your left back if you're chasing a tight game against a side who're clearly on top? I dunno Does seem like Penney is now back in the reckoning though And that's good with four games left, especially as they might need to win at least two of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On St Pauli's FB page there are many St Pauli fans questioning if Jos actually wants to get fired. They just can't understand his team selections these last few games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those stats speak for themselves Which makes me think Penney's absence has nothing to do with tactics He started the first game after lock-down but was then the first player to be replaced - fitness? injury? He was an unused sub the following game and was then left out of the squad altogether for the next two We know Jos likes to assess his players by what they do in training So maybe Matt is a bit behind his teammates - or carrying a knock? Either way, it looks like he's back in contention now and I'm sure he'll get his chance Especially if St Pauli keep losing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In contention because he’s back in the squad?? Jos is playing silly buggers. The facts are there to see. A bit behind his teammates- nah, I believe there’s more to Jos selection these last 4 games. oops As for the rest of my post, I'm just guessing along with everyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 7 June Stuttgart 0-0 VfL Osnabruck Another valuable point away to the side currently sitting 2nd in the table It moves VfL above St Pauli on goal difference and 5pts above danger Joost van Aken failed to make the matchday squad once again Loan Watch hasn't really lived up to it's name these past few weeks As neither one of the two players we're supposed to be watching has actually featured I was tempted to 'do a Livingston' and overlook these remaining fixtures unless there's a change But then thought: sod it. Both sides have only four games left, so I may as well see it through to the end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
