Who ate all the pies? Posted 8 April 2005 Posted 8 April 2005 Never heard of him! Anyone know anything else about him than the fact he's a right winger?
Chimp Posted 8 April 2005 Posted 8 April 2005 Chris Hackett The pacey wideman Date of birth: 1/3/1983 Nationality: English Current Club: Oxford United Squad number: 7 Position: Right winger Joined club: 1/8/1999 Contracted until: 31/6/2006 Homegrown talent Hackett signed a professional deal in 2000 at the age of just 17, still with two years remaining on his scholarship. Chrissy is a very pacey right winger, who although can be devastating if used correctly, can often get bogged down and find it hard to beat defenders. Having said that, Hackett is a formidable opponent for defences when he does round a full back, putting in dangerous crosses, cutting in and running at defenders. It's often said that pace is the most worrying attribute for an opposition defence, and Chrissy certainly has that. Source: http://www.yellowpride.co.uk/modules.php?n...showpage&pid=10

Who ate all the pies? Posted 8 April 2005 Posted 8 April 2005 cheers...sounds alright, although I'll believe it when we see him!
Chimp Posted 8 April 2005 Posted 8 April 2005 2004/05 Season: Appearances: 34 Goals: 4 Yellow Cards: 4 Red Cards: 1
davieG Posted 8 April 2005 Posted 8 April 2005 2004/05 Season:Appearances: 34 Goals: 4 Yellow Cards: 4 Red Cards: 1 89617[/snapback] Seems a bit heavy for a winger, on the other hand Gillespie and Stewart have both been red carded
Simon Posted 8 April 2005 Posted 8 April 2005 My g/f's bro is an Oxford Season Ticket holder, I'll see if I can find any more info out about him. Seen him play once this season against Cambridge United and have to say he was OK but he did seem a little lazy in terms of tracking back, although he undoubtedly does have some skill and pace. I'll believe it when I see it.
Collymore Posted 8 April 2005 Posted 8 April 2005 use to sign him on Champ man, he was alright on there
Mark Posted 8 April 2005 Posted 8 April 2005 Has only just this season became a regular for Oxford, at 22. After a bit of research I'd imagine it was down to Ian Atkins... He is probably disappointed that he has not made the breakthrough into regular first-team action but that is partly because manager Ian Atkins is not a fan of wingers, tending to prefer a narrow midfield.
Tommy Posted 8 April 2005 Posted 8 April 2005 i dont know whether you will take this a valid point but its bewildered me as to why levein is looking at him, if this rumours is true, when gillespie is playing so well under him.

Levein will make sure he has players to come into positions for the short and long term ie. when Gillespie get's injured or leaves (don't forget we risk losing Gilly to a Premier club if he keeps playing well) CL will try to have two players for each position of his preferred formation and will look anywhere to find the right player. He is a planner as he has continually stated since his arrival at Leicester.
Louise Posted 8 April 2005 Posted 8 April 2005 Remember Gillespie is 30 too, I'm not going on about 'dad's army' older players but it makes good sense to get someone in whose legs won't go in a few years.
