Rose coloured specs maybe, I remember thinking he was very underrated (nationally) but part of his standout ability was his threat at set pieces and his ability on the ball, not as defensively solid as the other 2. Loved watching him though. Just checked and surprised to see that less than a quarter of his games in England were for us. Played far more for Birmingham in Prem and then Southampton (below the Prem). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But when defending a corner, surely part of his skill-set it to be standing a jump away from heading the ball clear. Is it beyond him to use exactly the same skill-set when attacking a corner?

Is it beyond him to use exactly the same skill-set when attacking a corner? It’s almost like he was uncoached before us. His positioning at the back was shite for the first 6/7 games. Since then he’s been faultless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rudy 1,338 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 2 minutes ago, MickyD said: Thanks for the technical explanation! 🤣🤣🤣 Defending it’ll be a standing jump which requires dynamic explosive strength and concentrating on two things, the ball and the man. Attacking a corner, you have instructions where you’re going to go, need to find the space having a running jump, timing, anticipation and direction. Oh and a good delivery Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BWFC_LOVE 56 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Like Mascoll, I’m noticing fans wishing him well and “see you back here next season”. No you won’t. They’re on one year deals. Evatt clearly doesn’t fancy them. Their contract is up in the summer and they’ll never play for the club again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Site Supporter Biggish Dave 567 Posted March 5 Site Supporter Share Posted March 5 I didn't rate Hickman at all - if he's lucky, he might have a L2 career at some point but that's about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think he's without ability, just a shite attitude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnnyrotten 273 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Do we know if Hickman was an IE signing or a TP? Either way, another mystery how he was preferred to Darcy, in any position. Attitude on the pitch looked fine, not like he was a prima donna type/maverick type, just lacked ability like so many other pre-season signings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnnyrotten 273 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 There was chat the other day about our worst players of the past. Just noticed that Giles Coke has signed for Grimsby from Hereford. He'd be in any such list, made 4 appearances in 2015 (including Blackburn away). Since 2012 he's had 7 clubs and has averaged 5 appearances per club, or 4 per season. What a strange career.

No end to his talents. Amazed he's not been snapped up by another club yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
