matthefish2002 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 If Penny goes to Swindon good luck to him, it is still a level 99.9% of people could only dream of playing. If he is good enough for the Championship he will soon be at a club that is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sending our best lb/lwb out on loan while we are playing players out of position there that constantly under performed. Penney is an obviously talented footballer who was failed by this club by constantly getting overlooked in favor of inferior players. He would be insane to resign with us and completely ruin any chance of a good career. Still I don’t think he should sign for Swindon and I'm confident he will get looked at by other clubs that will more likely help him develop and carve good career for himself. How many managers have we had since he's been here? Not one thought he was our best left back. The fact Monk, Pulis and Thompson have played other players at LB/LWB (when we have no natural one in the squad) tells you all you need to know about where Penney's at IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That says all ya need to know! Playing under Luhukay and before getting injured Penney was reportedly watched by likes of Arsenal and Everton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I saw very little to suggest he’s a Championship player. Poor awareness defensively and wasteful going forward. However, there’s no denying our results with him playing we’re good. Possibly coincidental, possibly because playing almost any left-footed player on the left works better, or possibly because he’s better than I think.

I think your first comment was correct. Same with Rhodes, so many different managers and coaches doing the same thing means unlikely to be wrong, especially if it aligns with what we're thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he wants to do is run with the ball. And isn't interested one bit in any sort of defensive work. Second bit is purely coincidental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t negate where he is, but where he should have been if club does it job of developing their talented youngsters. He isn't first we failed and won't be the last. And what good decision managers you named above made to make you relay on their understanding of football and decision making? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IstillhateSteveBould Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Would be typical Wednesday. Good young player who cost us nothing, in last 6 months of his contract, leaving for probably peanuts. It’s a joke really. For what it’s worth, I’d say league 1 is probably his level at the moment. But he’s got huge potential and a good manager would likely get a lot more out of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He improved his tactical awareness and positional play a lot since he made his Wednesday debut and we are yet to concede with him on the pitch. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Whether he's had a fair chance is debatable, but the LB/LWB place has been there for the taking all season. I think a LB (as well as forwards) top of our wish list this window, so makes sense if he can't win his place with our current lack of options.

theowlsman Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Should’ve been given a chance at Hillsborough to assess his worth as a future star. We may never know his true worth until its too late. Will he turn out to be another Brunt, Antonio, or Joao? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Seems to have the basic tools to be a good player, I'd like to see him retained and sent on loan in this country for a season. Having said that Sean Flair generated excitement and hes not pulled up any trees since leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I think he’s good on the ball going forward from a wing back position, if given the space to move forward with the ball he looks class. But he’s not a great defender or good in the air. Nor is he a winger. If we have a flat back 4 then it’s difficult for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idea is to bring in better players that can lay claim to a 1st team berth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
