For the 2nd time this season I have watched Matt Penney in the flesh. Once for Motherwell against Hearts on a Sunday afternoon back in September and now this lunchtime.
Fair player but like the Scottish Premier League it’s League One standard.
No offence to the subject but he will no better or worse than Ben Purrington who is now at the same level playing for Ross County
Not a debut for the ages but players who've been here a lot longer than Penney didn't look much more impressive. Certainly not going to rule him out completely based on that one game - Bolton are a good outfit and a tough start.
Pretty decent start from Penney .. ended up playing left side of a back 3 .. got forward well , defended well was given a hospital ball by Ness early on nice welcome but both he and Clare were outnumbered at times because of the 5 in mid against our 3
I think people are being very kind. Thought he looked weak. Glad he wasn't in earshot of me when he decided to shoot from 40 yards in the final minutes.

100% agree, poor decision making throughout the game.
@RonnieMoore if you were a Real fan, you would have been on Madrid Life after Johnathan Woodgate's debut saying how positive it was.
He’s a WUM. Don’t encourage him by giving him attention. He simply posts the exact opposite of what everyone else is thinking. Obviously gets some satisfaction from doing it. Each to their own I suppose.

I just assume it's another poster's wind up account. Just pay no attention, really. I assume whoever it is will eventually stop as more and more people figure out this is not a real person representing their own real views. Odd way to get yer kicks!
He weren’t great but he’s coming into new side and playing against a good side. Reminds me on first viewing as a less average purrington, but let’s give him time. At least a left footed player adds balance to a team.
Tough Debut for Matt Penney, and getting an understanding with Corey Blackett-Taylor was so difficult as Bolton defended well and attacked in numbers and CBT is hit and miss in his performances.
Being written off by some Charlton critics before the 1st half is over on social media or at the ground is just typical of Football supporters who don't understand about a player trying to fit in on a day when we are up against the best team to visit the valley this season.
I believe Matt Penney can do well and it's great to see a left Footed, Left back with some pace.
He had a torrid first half, and the second half wasn't much better. Will take some time to build understanding, hopefully Ness and CBT continue to play so they can forge some relationships.
He's looked badly off the pace for most of his time here. His crossing has been atrocious despite the fact that he's meant to have a decent left foot.
He's shown little flashes, but he was poor today. Believe it was his birthday as well. Hopefully he's not out for too long. He may not be great at, but we're not exactly blessed with fullbacks.
Still early days days but from what I’ve seen so far, his prospects for a permanent deal are not looking good. If he was player of the month up at Motherwell a couple of times recently I dread to think what the rest of their squad is like 🤷♂️. About the only thing going for him at the moment is that he’s left footed.

I imagine Penney will be second picking when Sessegnon, Kane and he are all 'fit'.
