What’s happened to Pennington?

Since Pennington came off against burton Albion injured on his debut for the club, he hasn’t played a minute for us yet he’s been on the bench in the last 3 games.

One thing that was evident against burton and in the pre-season friendlies was his ability to play balls into lavery and into the channels. He looked to be a key component of the 3-5-2 in terms of delivering quality balls into attacking areas of the pitch.

I’d assume he hasn’t played in the last three matches because he’s been coming back from injury/we hadn’t conceded until the Lincoln city game.

I think that Pennington will be key if the 3-5-2 is to be a success, and so would hope and expect that he will be re-introduced for the wolves game.

What’s frustrating is that he wasn’t reintroduced before now, as I think a lot of the reliance on the 3-5-2 is based around his ability to deliver quality balls into the attacking positions.
 
I have always believed that good players are comfortable on the ball & can play in any position & any formation, guess that shows why we are in league one ?
 
I know Marv’s been shocking so far but surely we’d drop CJ first and move Husband to LWB? Pennington, Marv and Casey as a back 3 is decent on paper, just need Marv to get a bit of confidence back. Appleton f****d him up good and proper last season by making him the senior CB. Marv just isn’t that guy.
 
He will play tonight & hopefully replace Marv on Saturday.
Hope he also starts the bench from Saturday +Apter & Holmes.
 
Pennington is a better ball carrier than Marv.

I've no doubt he'll start tonight. Hopefully he plays well and it'll mean Marv on the bench against Wigan. Who knows what our squad will look like then.
