A very very inauspicious debut it must be said….hope he up’s his game……and pronto.
Good luck fella, I hope you have a lot more to offer.0 -
Anybody old enough to watch Sweaty Balmer’s home debut at that stripey sh*t hole all those years back. Own goal and a really poor game - remembering thinking who the fcuk is this. He settled into a very reliable and half decent centre half for us. Must be something in this lad, hopefully just needs to settle a bit. Certainly won’t need any of our fans’ negativity thrown at him. If he turns out consistently toilet, blame the owners not the player. Black box still playing up in that case…6

Who was the guy we had on loan for a couple of games the year we won league 1 when Wiggins (the last decent permanent left back we had IMHO) was injured? He was laughably bad. Butterworth or something like that. I remember him taking a throw in and failing to reach the pitch with it. Penney is threatening to be remembered in the same way. It shows how lamentably bad we have been at left back in recent times that we are beginning to remember fondly the lines of Fox and Purrington (both good honest triers but pretty terrible footballers).1

Mind you, for every Balmer there have been dozens who started off shite and just got worse, but I still think writing the bloke off after less than two games is a bit much, even by our standards.2 -
Mark Aizelwood was another ...... poor/indifferent then ended up being star player and skippering us to promotion.

"Work together to stop him".. surely there are better causes in the world..
I actually think he'll turn out alright. Too many of our supporters do not support.1 -

Im gonna go cry now 🤣🤣.
I didn't find his display on Saturday funny either or the 2 games before that.
If I want to take my frustrations out by making a joke(which some have found funny) then thats my business, don't like it change it back, but I really dont give s flying fuck what you think3 -

Secondly i didn't actually do it but @KentishAddick is convinced its impossible for a friend to have done it sent it to me and me post it on here in 3 minutes so i thought fuck it why not go along with the narrative
So yeah as I said I really don't give a shit if you think it was me or not, I think it was funny especially after what we have witnessed so far4 -
Blimey. It's funny how you can judge people all wrongly and then you suddenly see them for what they really are.
And I'm not talking about Matt Penney.3 -

I have no opinions on anyone on here until i meet them
But then again I'm clearly just more open minded1 -
Okay, Penney has not impressed many people on here. Fair enough.
But there's got to be more to come.
He's a professional footballer learning his trade at then Championship Sheffield Wednesday - where he made 28 senior appearances.
People at Sheff Weds must have thought he was a promising player or they wouldn't have given him a pro contract and later extended it.
Afterwards joining Ipswich, making another 22 appearances, where the opinion was good going forward but a bit suspect defensively.
A change of manager at Ipswich last year saw Penney lose his place, after the new manager made an expensive signing.
Scott Fraser at Ipswich suffered a similar fate and was sold on, as we know.
This season Penney apparently had a very successful half season loan at Motherwell in the Scottish Premier League, where he was voted player of the month twice. They didn't want him to leave.
So why the inconsistancy and mistakes at Charlton? Is it the way we play, where our full backs get doubled up on and often exposed because our wingers don't always track back, especially CBT.
From what I've seen there's a useful player there, certainly for our level.

So far he's just been really hesitant above all. Seems to second guess himself every time0

1: self praise is no recommendation
2: and this is obvious bullshit3 -
I'm still honestly baffled that people are this worked up about a short-term loanee who probably won't be here in a few months anyway.
He's really not so bad as to deserve the "joke" edit nor is he likely to be good enough or around long enough that anyone will remember this next month.4 -

All players make mistakes but I'll never understand how laying into them is going to help them improve. I really want this lad to have a storming game now next time he plays.4
