Ethel The Tree Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 13 June VfL Osnabruck 0-2 VfL Bochum Saw it somewhere that Joost van Aken's absence is down to concussion If that's what's been keeping him out these past weeks then let's hope he gets well soon However, his side were doing marginally better without him, so perhaps a recall is not so clear cut But they lost this one though and remain too close to the drop zone for comfort Bochum, one of the league's form teams following the restart, won it thanks to a goal in each half 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malek Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Looked bit rusty as can be expected of someone who played 45 minutes of football in last 3 months. Still: - he played important part in first goal - created 2'nd - saved certain goal If St Pauli win this one, it will be 25 points from 13 games that Penney started and 13 points from 18 that he didn't (if I'm not mistaken). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 What we saying then, Penney is probably not going to be a top championship player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I thought he did well today. Set up the 2nd and had a role in the 1st. Played a few dangerous deliveries into the box. A little surprised to see him subbed off at half-time, but it's possible Jos is aiming to see out the game with a more rigid defensive shape.

Ethel The Tree Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 14 June St Pauli 2-1 Erzgebirge Aue Matt Penney return was sure to guarantee 3pts for St Pauli - they'd failed to win in four games without him And that's how it looked by half time Despite picking up an early booking, Matt had a hand in the first goal and an assist for the second St Pauli should've been three up at the break but missed a pen in injury time Jos then subbed Matt off at half time - easing him back? Wary of a second yellow card? Felt like a cue for an Aue fightback and more dropped points for St Pauli and pulling a goal back with about 20mins left to play can't have been good for the nerves But they held on for the win that, barring any disasters, must all but guarantee their safety 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) 16 June Hamburger SV 1-1 VfL Osnabruck Still no sign of Joost van Aken in the matchday squad - must've been some bump on the head Two points dropped for the home side, who were leading a three-horse race for that second promotion spot And a valuable point gained for VfL who were trailing at half time Dresden and SV Wehen look doomed but the relegation playoff spot is still there to be avoided St Pauli could be home and dry by tomorrow night but VfL will be hoping Karlsruher slip up Especially as their other main rival - Nurnberg - won tonight, 6-0 away Edited June 16, 2020 by Ethel The Tree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethel The Tree Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 17 June Hannover 96 4-0 St Pauli Matt Penney kept his place and played the whole game - but that's as good as it got Hannover were good value for their 2-0 lead at the break St Pauli started the 2nd half better and Jos seemed to make changes that enabled Matt to play further forward But a third goal on the hour scotched any chance of a fightback and a fourth 10mins from the end wrapped it up So St Pauli aren't necessarily out of the woods just yet but they (and VfL) will be pleased to see Karlsruher also lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethel The Tree Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) 21 June VfL Osnabruck 4-1 Holstein Kiel Still no way back for Joost van Ak <poetic licence A comfortable win that sees VfL secure their status with one game to spare Helped by Kiel going down to 10 men midway through the 1st half - although they were already losing 2-0 by then St Pauli 1-1 Jahn Regensburg This result was academic too - in the end And that despite Karlsruher coming back from 3-0 down to force a draw against the champs St Pauli took an early lead but were held 1-1 at half time Matt Penney was named on the bench and came on to play the last 10mins wide left Not long enough to have much of an impact Edited June 21, 2020 by Ethel The Tree 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethel The Tree Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 28 June Wehen Wiesbaden 5-3 St Pauli To avoid the drop, SV Wehen needed to win this by ten clear goals and then hope Karlsruher lost They had a fair go at it tbf - 5-2 up midway through the 2nd half St Pauli scored their third with about 20mins left and that was the cue for Jos to bring Matt Penney off the bench for a farewell cameo Dynamo Dresden 2-2 VfL Osnabruck Dresden needed to win by summat like sixteen to avoid the drop! But none of it mattered anyway because Karlsruher won their game - leaving Nurnberg with a playoff to 'look forward to' Dresden led 2-0 at one stage but two goals for VfL in the last 15mins spoiled the party No sign of JvA once again I'll come back later with a full summary of what Matt and Joost did on their holidays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethel The Tree Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 Starting with Joost van Aken Given how his season finished, it's easy to forget how promising things looked for him earlier on Going into the Christmas break, Joost was a fixture in a side doing well in the top half of 2.Bundesliga, that also boasted one of the meanest defences in the division Then, into the New Year, VfL went on a crappy run of form, a win-less streak and a dramatic fall down the table Sound strangely familiar? Of the 9 games following the restart, Joost gave away a penalty in the first, scored an o.g. in the second and played no part in the remaining seven So his stats - all league games and all starts ... P 22 W 6 D 7 L 9 Goals: 1 - look fairly average, but then VfL were struggling towards the end and were only safe from relegation with one game to spare It's also worth pointing out that his side didn't fare much better without him If it was concussion that kept him out these past few weeks then he can count himself unlucky His Wednesday career had been dogged by injury so far but that run of 22 games suggested he'd put all that behind him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
