BBC still has Brentford playing Hickey on the left , i.e. LWB

Aye, since Rico Henry done his ACL, Hickey is now the first choice Lb/lwb. 

There's a couple of players that can deputise on the right (Roerslev, Ajer) so Hickeys moved over. I doubt Henry will be back before the end of the season so he'll be there for the rest of the season.

Hickey is the best player we've produced in 40 years 

In many respects this might prove to be correct. Have we had another player so comfortably excellent at top 5 level at 20 years old? He will move to an elite team either this or next summer and stay there for a decade. Is he the most exciting attacking player? No. Is he the best out and out defender? No. Is he the best technical player? Possibly, but probably not. Is he the most tactically engaged and aware? Again, possibly but probably not. Is he the fittest and most athletic? No. Is he really fucking good in ALL these respects? Absolutely yes!

It was the elite team interest and his progress at such a young age yes that led to the comment 

If he can stay fit I believe he'll outrtrip Tierney and Robertson
