He has had a few injuries and needs game time, he is probably still one of the best midfielders Hearts have got and they tend to loan out their younger players to get experience. He's only 18. He's a raw talent but there's something about him. He needs an injury free season and a run of games, he should then start getting call-ups to the U21's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Joe Thomson will be back in full swing we hope by the end of the year so he'll have to work even harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 Hows Harry Cochrane turned out? Getting starts at 17 doesnt automatically mean you've got huge potential.The difference is we're not bereft of midfielders. Right back is a problem position, so unless you're happy to toddle along with jobbers like SOD and Palmer or, god-forbid, Paterson, then we need to be forward-thinking/desperate (delete as appropriate) with our selection for that spot.

We could also just not play with a right back. Confuse the hell out of the opposition, play two left backs and play everything down that side. Whoever playing RCB needs to hold his position really well and the right midfielder needs to have the fitness of a triathlete to get back, then forward....

Merely suggesting that you look at Cochrane, who was a regular at Hearts at 17, but is now struggling in the Championship, and consider whether chucking Hickey into International football just now would be the best idea for everyone involved.

Cochrane has had a few injury issues, perhaps because he was thrown into the mix at 16 and playing every week out of necessity before he was really ready. He's not struggling with actual ability and once he gets a run of being fully fit and game time he'll kick-on. Hearts need to be careful with Hickey in that regard as well. He won't be anywhere near the full Scotland A team for at least another year IMO, he's got nowhere near the U21's yet (although perhaps should).

To be clear, I'm not advocating that Hickey should be thrown into the National set up, but Harry Cochrane's career has f**k all relevance to that and the way you worded your question seemed to ignore the fact that Harry Cochrane has around 16 years of football left to play.

Mr.Bojangles Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Caught the QPR v Reading game last night. Liam Kelly looked good for the most part making some great saves and had little chance on either goal Hopefully he's in the next squad at least. Having older guys playing in League One doesn't make much sense to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
