BryanBlessed Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 11 hours ago, theabsentee said: Potentially great news, surely Carver wouldn't say it if he isn't close to a return. Not only is Hickey well on his way to the very top but he can cover both sides so it would be a bit of a disaster. I think there is a difference between training and playing but I really hope he manages to get some games under his belt as it takes a long time to find form (Robertson, although he's older than Hickey, is still not back to his best, for example. Hasn't Ryan Fraser has filled in at RWB on occasion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't Ryan Fraser has filled in at RWB on occasion? The fact he can cover both sides is invaluable. It essentially frees up a squad position because we won't need another left back. Surely that would mean Taylor won't be in the final 23. But Clarke does have a soft spot for him, so who knows. Hickey is fast becoming one of our best players. He'll soon be in the same bracket as Robbo, Tierney, McTominay and McGinn (in my opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if he still being tipped for a move from Brentford (?), but as long as he's fist pick that s good enough for me. I remember him walloping Rinaldo when Man U played at Brentford.

Ferocious tackle and he played a blinder that day Pretty incredible that he is still only 21 but has played regularly in 3 countries and 14 times for Scotland. I think a big move is inevitable. But playing regularly for Brentford for a few years will do him no harm at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pep Guardiola is suppose to be a big fan of Hickey, and has him on his shopping list as a future Man City player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought he was shite. The big (only) bonus was Tierney. Not only did he play well, but more importantly looked back to full fitness.

Tartan blood Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Ross Stewart back in training apparently. Even if he gets some games before the end of the season, I think it'll be too late for him, or any striker out there, to be selected aheas of Dykes, Adams and Shankland. CalMac return also "imminent". Just waiting for good news about Hickey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a month out and probably another month to get back into the Brighton starting 11 (Cos no doubt his replacement will play exceptionally well) leaving very little time to be match fit for the Euros. A bit of a concern 😟 Edited March 30 by todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a concern 😟 The Brighton manager loves him these days, he's became somewhat of a gauranteed starter and their fans seem to love him too and agree. He fits the Brighton team to a tee though and is the player that the team builds all the player through hence the love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even think he fancied Shankland but he became impossible to ignore. I must admit that I find it hard to understand his selections sometimes.

I think there are players in the starting line up and the squad looking a bit too comfortable, relying on Clarke's loyalty. Need fresh blood to keep people on their toes if nothing else.

This is a major problem at the moment but I can understand the players' perspective: they're guaranteed starters and are at the business end of the domestic season. I'd put McGinn and Robertson in that category. Look what happened to Gilmour when he got stuck in. Ithink Dykes always tries hard but just lacks ability.

Wee billy got stuck into their player in the wrong way, it was a daft tackle to make in a friendly, let's hope he is back in time. Posted from a fan yesterday on the Brentford forum .

Posted from a fan yesterday on the Brentford forum . It looks like we may be relying on a player who isn't match fit Well I presume that would mean he would be fit for the two friendlies which he could use to get match sharp. The alternatives are a confidence shot to pieces Patterson or Tony Ralston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
