Chicksen?

[JOLovegrove]

First half I thought he was decent. Made a key instinct block in the box that would have likely gone in. Agree with most, we do need another fullback, as the 3 we have at the moment do not fit into Sami's wingback system.

 

[Sheebo]

Wasn't him giving the winger too much space the main reason they scored. Too lightweight & lacks confidence - average lg 1 at best IMO

Chicksen shouldn't be number one choice LB , what made it worse was Hughes covering when Chicksen was out of position and not doing it very well.

Doesn't the new system rely on 3 cbacks? GG, Hughes and I guess Ince are the main defence with wing backs the ones doing the attacks? In this system the defending is tracking back and less that of a proper LB? Or am I missing something? If that is the case why not have KLL as LB?

 

[El Turi]

Having seen the goal, he should have definitely stopped the cross coming in.

 

[London Irish]

He's a good athlete but seems to lack confidence big time. Doesn't seem to have made any progress in his year here.

If John Arne Riise is still a free-agent, I would snap him up! Suits the Wing-Back role that Sami is trying to play too.

He's 34. Do you really think he has 8 miles or so in him every game? Calde and Bruno are both younger and I'm not convinced they can do it effectively.

He has played this system and is conversant with it so yes I think he could.

 

[dougdeep]

He'll be gone at the end of the season. We should spend to get someone in.

Would bring Chicksen on potentially and help him adapt to this wing-back role.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Chicksen played the whole season for MK Dons before joining us; should not need to go on loan again. He is either good enough now or not.

Did not do his pre-match confidence any good by Sami saying he needed to improve his game.

I've seen the football league show, must have been a great game to come up with all those action clips. He probably should have stopped the cross. It's a difficult one, if we had a winger that could ever deliver a cross like that he would brilliant as a posed to playing against poor full backs. Once the ball comes in the centre backs should make a better fist of blocking the forwards.

 

[Lawro's Lip]

Got a 7 rating in the football league paper . OK I know! 'Put in a great shift and at times was playing almost as a winger'. Not sure who writes this stuff but imagine they were at the game and might indicate better than some think.

 

[Lush]

One of the reasons he made more mistakes was he had the ball a lot.

I think he's got promise.

 

[TSB]

He has played this system and is conversant with it so yes I think he could.

When he was mid-twenties, yes. Long time ago now.

 

[BensGrandad]

You never forget how to ride a bike just not able to do it for so long you get older. In his case he would probably be good for 80 mins by which time we would hopefully be well in control.
