I would also say that LW's possession game may well have stifled Chick's attacking instincts. Chicky seems so concious that the ball needs to be recycled.
Chicksen did brilliantly for us last season for 3/4 of the season by scoring lots of goals(Chesterfield away being the best)but didn't often get crosses in and very occasionally beat a man tbh he's a solid defender not a wing back.
I think watching him in his few appearances this season that he has lost some confidence and perhaps a little rusty(add Slocombe to the last bit)
He's still a decent squad player and good to bring on especially if we are leading to give players a rest or if we need to go to a back 4.
Model professional with high standards seems a very serious guy - when LW was joking and celebrating in the Wembley Changing room he just walked in with his satchel over his shoulder with 'its a normal day at the office'
