Hickey to Brentford

I'm guessing like Kebab has said Davis will not be good enough at LB so that basically leaves us with Firpo, Struiyk, Hjelda and Dallas but Dallas is out until the new year at least. Or maybe JM will do a Garath Southgate and play a right back at LB.... Shackleton???

Firpo, Davis (who is, I hear, doing OK in training), Hjelde, Dallas and Harrison.
We will not be signing a left back, personnel wise we have plenty on the left.

Shackleton probably on the move.

I don't get this obsession with Shacks, he has never shown himself to be good enough, if he wasn't a Leeds boy you wouldn't consider him the answer,

Shackleton will be a very good championship standard midfielder but if we keep him on our books he can do a half decent job as a back up right back certainly and as a last resort left back but if he does go which as you say Els does seem likely then like Roberts will get the opportunity to play week in week out and like Mowett have a very good career.

Scotland must find it abit annoying that the most promising players all all full backs

Are

Better staying at bologna than playing for Brentford

He is a useful player.

However, he really is a textbook example of players need to play first team football, at any level, and not constantly in the reserve.

His passing and movement in the reserves was something else compared to what he was up against, however its just not the same as playing first team games.

Had he gone on loan to a league one or even two side, let alone a championship one, and got regular games he would have developed more than he has done.

He is a victim of being too good for the reserves but also not good enough for a first team slot.

I thought the exact same thing when I seen the news yesterday, certainly missed out with this one.

This could come back to bite you.
