However not sure there is one any more Palmer's a right back, I could do a job as good as Penney at left back and Galvin hasn't played a first team league game.

gurujuan Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Come on, the first time I’ve been enthusiastic about a possible signing in ages Looks a prospect, young but with plenty of games under his belt Him and Palmer would make a decent pair of full backs 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Pickering’s 22 years old, highly rated and played over 100 league games already. The kind of signing we should be making 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0114 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Galvin has never started a league game in his life. Played well against Exeter. But definitely too young and inexperienced to make him 1st choice in a side fighting relegation. Matt Penney, with respect I just don’t think he’s as good as some believe. The fact he didn’t get a start over Glavin says it a lot. On top of that the only manager that seems to have half rated him was Jos and even under him he was nothing more than a squad player. Pickering is 23, highly rated and only costing around £500k. Seems the type of signing I see other clubs make and in 2/3 years he’s worth £5m. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 He'd potentially be a big improvement on our current full back options and he'd have resale value. Pickering is exactly the type of smart signing, we should have been making more of during the DC era, perhaps then we wouldn't be in the mess we've been in these past few years, after the play off near misses. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieman Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 In the modern game, full back is a vitally important position and we desperately need a good left back. I havent seen Galvin play, so I cant comment. However, the cut and thrust of the Championship would lead me to think he isn't the answer this season. Penney hasnt been picked by four or five managers, there has to be a reason. Palmer has done ok, but he is limited in attack on the left and he is also prone to ball watching and lapses in concentration. We need a quality left back, no question. Is this more important than a centre forward? I would say no. However, it does not diminish the impact a good leftback would have in improving our play, for example ball retention and quality of balls into the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Monk, Pulis & Thompson have all seen Penney in training on a daily basis. The reason he's not getting picked above Galvin, Palmer, Van Aken etc & we're in the market for a new left back tells you all you need to know about Penney. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlinOldham Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Probably something to do with him currently being better at left back/left wing back than all 3 of those listed. Could also be Doyen and Paxo trying to stitch us up though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However not sure there is one any more Palmer struggles at right back his preferred side never mind left. I agree with regards to Penney give the lad a chance but we still need cover and Pickering has more pace than him. Galvin never seen him but you can't compare an established first team player against against potential. Like comparing apples and oranges 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However not sure there is one any more Palmer isn't a left back, regardless of if he can do a job. Penney isn't a left back, he's a left midfielder who worked okay at LWB with 3 at back but struggles a lot in a flat back 4. Hence why he plays left wing for the u23s. So we have Galvin, whos very raw. Pickering has over 100 appearances already at the age of 22. Surely a no brainer of a signing? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the above young promising players with potential resale value but who are also better than what we've got, are the types of players we should be looking at Pitch them in with experienced signings and a few of your own developing players and you start to build the basis of a good squad that can progress the club and make it money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagarri Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Why is he being discussed as if we’ve bid for him? Not seen anything. Has one person read it on a Facebook Fan Forum and took it as gospel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
