Can't offer too much on Pennington, myself, other than when Hurst played him at right back, it was an odd decision, given that he's a stopper, rather than useful going forward, yet no-one questioned this yesterday when Lambert tried him.
Amazing what three months, and a new manager can make. Not to mention that Jordan Spence has gone from a useful full-back, who looked like he could be converted into a decent centre-half, to someone now making the lists of worst Ipswich player ever.
The rumours mill reckons that we're paying £500k for Judge, which was baffling on many levels before reading Cantagalo's comment. Still, if you're going to pay well over the odds for someone with a few months left on their contract, it might as well be for someone that was fucked over by the worst challenge you've ever seen one of your players make.

Worryingly, there was a fair bit of negativity towards Chalobah*, whom my family think is the bee's knees. He's a 19 year old basically carrying the non-existent midfield of a struggling team. It's a hell of an ask, but you can see the technique and vision the lad's got. If he was on loan at (say) Middlesbrough he would be looking like a nailed on future England player.
Now, the lad who came on for Lankester (Simon Dawkins) was actually awful. In 15 minutes he gave away several free kicks and I think his only touch was to win a throw-in.
* again, not so much at the ground, but on the media afterwards.
