Adam Chicksen

As they are conceeding 5 again (so far)

 

If Bolton had any thoughts of survival then signing Chicksen has surely put paid to that.

 

Looked like he put in his usual shift in according to the highlights

 

Interesting to see an improvement in Bolton's fortunes.

They have two former Bantams at the back in Wright and Chicksen, so I'll be keeping an eye on them.

They've conceded one goal (a late pen) in their last two outings.

 

I know I'm sad but this is a quote from Saturday on the Bolton Wanderers forum:
When we heard at Rotherham that Chicksen was our new left back, who had heard of him? Released by Div 2 Bradford aged about 27, he had to be dire. And his 1st game didn't alter that view with a 6-1 defeat. Since then, for me the most consistent performer. When the ball comes to him, he controls it faultlessly and passes simply and intelligently 9 times out of 10. I may be being generous because I've been used to watching Taylor for the last few years and before that Moxey, but how did those 2 players get 100+ Championship appearances in their career and Chicksen is struggling to find any club at all? Simply a far better footballer, I keep expecting him to be found out, but he never is. We have better players, like Bridcutt and arguably Verlinden, but what sets him apart is that he hardly makes any mistakes, whereas those 2 players are hit and miss, good one minute but giving the ball away the next. Chicksen hardly ever wastes possession, and unlike our previous left backs wants the ball, wants to attack, and isnt embarrassed to receive the ball in tight situations. He can be our left back for the next 3 years whatever division we are in (not sure where that leaves Bunney).

 

Forget Doyle, bring back Chicksen. You can't have too many quality left backs

 

Released by Bolton.

 

Signed for Notts County - Abbo recommendation ??
