0114 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Fair play to him if he gets a move to QPR. Personally I’m unsure if he’s a Championship standard player. I think he’s got a little bit of Adam Reach about him in a sense where no one really knows his best role. On paper he’s a 23 year old lad with a fair bit of CH football and Bundesliga 2 experience who isn’t on big money and will be available on a free. It’s a very low risk, high reward signing for QPR. But certainly wish him well if he gets a decent move to QPR. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlinOldham Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Suffers massively with the fact hes not actually got one position he can actually say hes good and solid at playing. Looks decent at left back for a bit, then performances dropped off. Looks decent at left wing back for a bit, then performances dropped off. Same story when hes played left wing/left midfield too. Think the term is consitently inconsitent. No doubt he has talent and abilty, but that alone isnt always enough. As others have said, he lacks application and effort at times, and im sure hes been called out by managment in the past for his poor defensivce work. A move might be good for him, because hes not ever going to get any better here. If he can find a position, nail it down and work hard at improving the dirty/hard graft side of his game, he might do okay. Not sure hes going to be a championship regular for anybody though. Regardless of all that though, if hes off, i wish nowt but good luck to the lad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'd be a decent left side midfielder in L1, 30 plus games in left midifield in a L1 season would improve him as a player and would probably result in solid output game by game. That said, there are few SWFC players I'd be upset at leaving. There should be plenty of good alternatives that can play well at L1. I shouldn't assume good recruitment though, should I.....

The issue is that if he stays, will he get the playing time to develop his game and can we afford to give him that time? The aim has to be to bounce right back up from League 1 and that will likley mean signing an already established and capable left midfielder/winger. We have to come out flying at the start of next season and that might mean we cant afford to carry someone whos trying to find thier role and possibly playing average while doing so. guess it a wait and see kind of situation for us and him right now.

malek Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Another talented player that graduated through our academy that club failed and who must leave in order to save his career. Good luck and all the best in your career Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIPPS_S.W.F.C Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Thing is he had massive competition to get a head of Reach for a starting place down left,as he's been unbelievable this season... Oh hang on a min???... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriwozgod Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 A talented lad who we haven`t handled very well (no surprise there)..........................but you have to say on the flip side that when he has had his opportunity this season he hasn`t taken it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morganowl Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 he has gone backwards . league 2 i think he would do ok above that bottom half league 1 player. just cant believe the clown monk started season with just penney as a left sided defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggoisgod Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Another in a long list of awful left backs we've had to endure..bye bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83owl Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Cant remember who it was against but we conceded a goal from a breakaway, the ball came across to the far post and their right winger slotted it home. From the replay you could see Penney jogging back behind him without a care in the world or even the slightest bit of effort to get back goalside. That side of his game is probably why numerous managers havn't given him a run in the team. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincowl Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Similar level to wildsmith/dawson. Highly doubt he will make the grade at League one or above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philb125 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I think that Penney would do really well in a team with a solid defensive spine that played attacking foot all down the wings. That’s not us mind. Maybe if we had 2/3 combative centre mids then our wingbacks/fullbacks could bomb on without worry of being caught out. We don’t, they can’t. Also a centre forward to cross to doesn’t go amiss when you’ve got a wand of a left foot. Maybe take a set piece or two would help too. I mean even the best fullbacks in the world look ordinary if they are not played to their strengths, look at Trent Alexander Arnold at Liverpool. If he couldn’t take corners or set pieces and when they’ve been exposed with no CB or CM due to injury he looks bog average. When they are in control and defensively sound without relying on him he’s world class. Penney is no TAA btw. Just pointing out that if you have an attacking fullback but you don’t attack it’s fairly useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Just another Ash Baker, looked a good prospect when he first came on scene but quickly showed he's not good enough. For league one we need a stronger left back than likes of Penney. No lightweights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlprince Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Can believe some people still think he is good enough for Wednesday. He's not a kid anymore and his development has hit a brick wall. His achievements to date The goal he scored while he was on loan in the Hamburg derby. put a decent cross in once about 6 months ago. Good luck to the lad and i hope he has a good career, just isn't going to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
