Absolutely pathetic from Penney 17:56 - Oct 30 with 2431 views | tractorboy1978 | We'd managed the game pretty well up until that point. What on earth is he doing? As a defender you have to attack that ball, pretty basic. It's not the first time he's done it with it leading to a goal this season either. Second half, we were rancid until the last 10-15 minutes. Edmundson and Morsy trying to spur us on but not helped by anyone around them and Evans started hiding. We need to be a hell of a lot better than that on Tuesday or it's a long night. | | | | |

It looked to me like he was completely oblivious to where the player was and thought he could see the ball out. | | | |

Cook was and should be getting upset with these errors on 20:34 - Oct 30 with 1972 views | unstableblue | Yes Penney is second choice left back and Coulson will replace him But he’s been getting game time and is not rusty To make that error at that time was crucial Their manager gets the chance to fire them up half time We’d silenced the crowd | |

Absolutely pathetic from Penney on 21:25 - Oct 30 with 1864 views | quad | It's not just the goal where Penney is at fault. Pause sky sports highlights on 35 secs. He's got at least a 10 yard start ahead of the attacker and still doesn't manage to win the ball. And the tackle he attempts to make is as weak as p*ss. He did the same against Fleetwood where he had a 10 yard head start and still managed to get beaten to the ball sometime in the first half I think. He just switches off completely. He's every bit as much of a defensive liability as Hladky ever was. Coulsen needs to replace him for future games pronto. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

And Coulson can do better? Has he actually finished a game yet- just 1 from 5 Penney’s clearly everyone’s scapegoat tonight- yes he was poor but others were just as bad | | | |

Penney is slow. Pace and acceleration is very important on the wings. I have no doubt he's got skill, but how do you train speed? | |

Not scapegoating him, I've alluded to the fact several were pretty poor. However, it was abysmal defending at a key time in the game and as I said, not the first time him failing to attack a ball has cost us a goal this season. [Post edited 30 Oct 2021 23:24]

It's not just his pace. He's so slow to react to situations. Fans were yelling at him against Fleetwood to wake up. His positional sense and awareness to where the opposition players are is poor. He takes ages to respond to dangerous situations and is weak in the tackle and in the air. I'm fed up of people saying he's done well. Other than his really good goal that time he really hasn't. | | | |

Penney Dreadful 🤔😜 | | | |
Absolutely pathetic from Penney on 07:33 - Oct 31 with 1309 views | tractorshark | in fairness Penney’s done all right in other games but yesterday he was absolutely awful. He did actually glance at the attacker before that cross came in for the goal so it wasn’t just a case of being oblivious to the danger. I’m not sure why he didn’t attack the ball, it was a ridiculous decision. But as others have said he was weak in the tackle in the first minute and that went on throughout the game. I said to my son he goes in for a 50/50 almost hoping for a ricochet rather than actually committing to making a solid block. There were 2/3 occasions yesterday where that ended up with the attacker robbing him. You can’t carry passengers in any position, let alone defence. Hopefully this was just a nightmare day for him, like I say I think he’s done ok this season but, clearly, Coulson is the better player. But I’d still take Penney over Kenlock any day. The luckiest professional footballer around, amazing how his stock rises the less he plays and yet no manager seems willing to play him. | | | |

That is the Gold Standard for Banter Era Full Back performances. During that match I thought Zeki was going to take a mask off at the end and reveal that he was in fact Noel Edmonds doing a "Gotcha!" | | | |

Agree think it was just a bad day yesterday for Penney but I don’t get why people think Coulson is any better- he’s very injury prone ( think he’s only finished 1 game out of 5 hrs played) Others played poor too yesterday first half Thought Penney was better second half and tried to creat chances ( he actually won the corner in the first half that we scored from) Onto Tuesday …. | | | |

I see that you took exception to a lot of what was said. I would like to clarify that I have been incredibly supportive of Penney, and do not think he's a bad player. However, because I do support the player and watch him fairly closely - I identify areas of opportunity in his game. So, speed and reaction speed are areas I see that would benefit him if he somehow honed. That is the difference between constructive criticism and lazy criticism. | |

Fair enough, constructive criticism on here though is lacking by many fans. One week your a hero, the next a villain | | | |
