Bing.McCrosby Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Just having a quick look at the start of this thread is a good laugh.

Stellaboz Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Saw somewhere last week he was also linked to AC Milan? Tyneside or Milan? Like choosing between Carling and Peroni. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle - relegation survivalists, but a huge pay day, a massive home support, and likely to be (soon) playing with world class players. It's more than plausible that we could have left backs playing for Real Madrid, Liverpool, and AC Milan by the start of the new season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would swap one of them for a striker playing at that kind of level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 By my count, Hickey was the 50th Scotland player used by Steve Clarke. Some patter players in there without doubt, who we've done well to move on from, but I'd say the bad of the 50 were mostly used as filler during tiring camps or as subs as opposed to being regular starters. Strikers perhaps the exception. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely a few more of that ilk who only played due to injury etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtual Insanity Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Playing right wing back according to Flashscores too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing.McCrosby Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Its extremely positive for us hes getting such good experience playing both sides. Being trusted to start at right wing back against Milan effectively ends that debate. I could see him being capable of playing more than just the full back or wing back positions for us in future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManBearPig Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 He's playing on the right, looks ok so far. Game on BT Sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 When Hickey plays on the left, he tends to dribble more with his right foot and cut back to cross with his right too. Then tonight and last week, playing on the right, he's doing a mirror image. Dribbling more with his left and cutting back to his left to cross. I'm not highlighting this because I think it's a problem or anything, it's very effective. It's just unusual and funny to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of the most genuinely two footed players I've ever seen at Hearts. Was playing 60 yard diagonals off both feet most weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their form seems to be turning around a bit since they stopped fucking about with him out of position on the right. On 09/03/2022 at 12:01, craigkillie said: Is he actually better than Greg Taylor? Yes, vastly On 11/03/2022 at 11:53, BingMcCrosby said: Steve Archibald in the paper today also suggesting Hickey at right back. It makes alot of sense.

ManBearPig Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Thought he was pretty decent again on the right. Should have scored too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Didn't see the game tonight but that's good news if he's starting to get a bit more experience in that position at club level. It would have been hard to ask someone to play that role for Scotland when they'd barely played it before, but the longer he can pick up top level experience the more likely it is that we can trust him there in a big game. It doesn't mean we can magically go back in time a month and pretend he had any sort of good experience in the role at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
