What happened last week?

Penno played terrible was lucky not to concede a few more 

Gosh, what a team hey!

If only they could back up all the lip they seem to give. Nonetheless, it is entertaining to witness.

Firstly, their ressies coach pushing a WPH player was a sight to see. What a smart man he must be. 

Then we have their first-grade team, dead awful. 

All those Putney signings are only getting them more fights than goals. Habib hates himself so much that he takes it out on the opposing team. It's just awesome to see the downfall of the club.

But you scored in the 90th min and barely scraped a win,

must make you dead awful too then?

unless the game was all west penno and it was lucky it was only 1-0?

penno been unlucky not to win the last two weeks. Signings are not awful at all they dominated yesterday. That's how football goes, sometimes the best team on the day dosent win.

If that's your take away from the game then you've got to be kidding. 
Did EITHER team deserve to win? No. Was Penno the better of the two teams? Also no. If WPH could finish chances they would have been out of sight after the first half but they couldn't hit the target if their lives depended on it. Despite that, they ran over the top in the end and snagged an arsey goal with the last kick of the game. Only when Penno started to get physical did they look threatening but that wasn't until well into the 2nd half and it turned the game into a slug fest anyway. 
The new signings bring some talent to the squad but also some ego and temper which is a bit juxtaposed with how Penno usually carry themselves. 

ps- again both refs had stinkers

Hahaha a Penno Putney dead arse trying to appear unbiased. And then gave themselves away when talking about how poor the refs were. Only a losing side would complain about the refs particularly the First Grade final ref who referees W League week in week out.

The downfall of Penno needs to be studied in football history classes for years to come. 

How you can go from a competitive Ressies and First Grade making Top 4 in both grades to both being 6th and below is beyond a disaster. Two players already kicked out of the club due to fighting and the rest of the Putney lunatics have a better ability in speaking absolute trash than playing with their feet.

If the Putney brothers spent more time focusing on not being out of position and knowing how to pass a ball than having a go at their teammates and the ref, they might actually create better chances... Candy is well past it. Bench warmer at best and instead starting.

That my friends is the recipe for a disaster that is imploding with each week that comes by.

I haven't seen anyone play yet, but I'm starting think back to when dragons came up and won the comp, even though it wasnt a full comp* however the next year they struggled to make top 4

Can anyone see the Epping boys being the same? Or are they genuinely really Solid. Very excited to watch Epping next week! I still remember the days of playing against Epping before they got their turf so I'm keen to see what the young guns have.

Epping remind me of the young West Penno team that just started to dominate Premier League in 2019. They have the legs to cover all aspects of the field, they are cohesive as a structure, fill the gaps in defence and are clinical up front. Their centre forward particularly has incredible hold up play and knows where to be in the 18 yard box to hit one.

The midfield are by no means on paper the strongest in the comp. Arguably not in Top 4 from an individual perspective. They do the basics right and that's where teams like Penno and Epping Eastwood need to realise there's more than individual skill that helps dominate games. Cohesive, hard working midfields truimph over individual based ones every day of the week.

They have also had the luck of the draw with injuries. From looking at Dribl, they appear to have the same squad for almost every game. When Dragons won the comp in COVID, it was very similar. Key Dragons players never got injured. Always helps. Be interesting to see what results look like when key players have to miss a game here or there.

1-1 draw and 0-1 90th minute loss against the top 2 teams last couple weeks I wouldn't write them off just yet...

Love bagging out Penno as much as the next person but it could be a case of the 3-4 new faces in the squad taking a while to gel. Big win against Putney this weekend for confidence could get their momentum and season back on track. 

Penno are the same old under coach Habib except this time he's lost about 8 experienced first graders and ressies players who got the job done and replaced by youth who are just too green (no pun intended). The Putney contingent whilst relatively somewhat talented just don't fit the squad and seem to be very individualistic and not team centric. I guess they are from Putney after all. Seems like those experienced heads in both grades were papering over the cracks in the playing group. They've lost proven goal scorers like Haz Browne in first grade as well as a few of their midfield bulldogs throughout the whole squad. Word from the camp was there was some in fighting at training the other week which unsurprisingly seems to have come from one of the Putney individuals....the coach has a terrible playing style and I've been told has reverted to bringing in juniors straight into first grade at the ire of the reggies players who are busting their nut at training. Imagine being replaced in first grade by 45 year old Candy and some 18year old who plays in all age 6s. Grim times 

lol, by penno spectator you mean penno reserve grade spectator?

don't make it too easy boys.

seem to know a lot about what's going on there.

your comment about ressies 'busting their asses at training' is a dead giveaway.

Quick Look at Dribl shows 1 win in 7 for the reserves. Must really be busting your asses?

or maybe just not good enough. Maybe it's the club and the existing players that are the problem.

not to mention that Habib who has no idea what he is doing.

all too easy to scapegoat certain individuals to make yourselves feel better as a club/team who are in dire straights.

straight embarrassing.😳 

As a west penno lion I was surprised at how poor the ressies were for Penno considering the past few match ups we had with them. Sometimes all it takes is a bad coach like Habib to get the morale really low and force good players to play poorly
