[Albion] Adam Chicksen out on loan

[Bozza]

No great surprise...

Brighton & Hove Albion defender Adam Chicksen has joined Gillingham on a one-month loan deal.

It is the full-back’s second loan stint at the Priestfield Stadium after he spent a month with the Gills in November 2014.

Chicksen linked up with the League One side again this morning, and goes into their squad for the trip to Blackpool this weekend.

The 24-year-old has made two first-team appearances for the Seagulls this campaign, most recently in the FA Cup game at Hull earlier this month.

It is the full back’s fourth loan move since joining the Seagulls in 2013, having spent the final two months of last season at Fleetwood Town, while he also enjoyed a month-long spell at Leyton Orient in October 2014.

Chicken?

Good move for him, playing at a club challenging for promotion and full of confidence will do him the world of good and hopefully he can come back ready to challenge for a first team spot.

Maybe we should have posts for when he isn't out on Loan... Might save us time and effort...

 

[Postman Pat]

Must be confident in Bong's recovery then, possibly extending Ridgewell's loan, or Jlloyd is in the building!?

Can't believe we are sending out our only LB cover (behind Calde).... regardless what CH thinks of his ability.

 

[Betfair Bozo]

Chicken?

Well, he is down the pecking order. Here all week.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

A great opportunity for Adam I would have thought. If he impresses maybe he could earn a full time deal come the end of the season, with the possibility of facing us in the Championship next campaign.

Agree with the above - must mean Bong and/or Rosenior are close to the comeback so could be very good news. BG will do his nut though

I never know when you're 100% serious. I would venture, however, that the time to challenge for a first team spot was WHEN HE WAS THE ONLY FIT F***ING LEFT BACK IN THE WHOLE CLUB.

With Ridgewell, Bong, Rosenior, and Calderon all able to fill that role in the next month or two, 'Chicken' is well down the pecking order, and surplus to requirements l'm afraid.

Yep. His time here is over, I think we all know that.

Absolutely. He's looked very poor when I've seen him play. Wasn't good enough for us when we were down the bottom last season. Certainly isn't good enough this year when we're up the top.

Hopefully this means Kenny Sansom will be SINGING imminently

Depends how much Special Brew he's had

My SAUCES tell me JLoyd is far more likely to happen...

 

[Albumen]

I have optimism for most players but he was NEVER going to make it here.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Good luck to Adam. He has done nothing wrong at all. Hopefully this loan will enable him to identify his level of football and get regular game time.

 

[northstandsteve]

Good luck to the lad, hasn't worked out with us.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Well, he is down the pecking order. Here all week.

Going out on loan's clearly better than an extended lay-off.

 

[daveinprague]

He always seemed to me top be fairly talented, but just too light-weight for the position
