lm not convinced. As Davis showed Saturday its a lot of money paid for a young kid who is still learning the game and too much pressure on a youngsters shoulders. Hirst would be in the same boat £2 million or whatever the figure is being put about for a youngster that everyone will then expect to get the goals to help fire us up the league. Its way too much to expect. After all he only scored the same amount of goals as Bonne did in the same sort of time scale. He maybe younger but he isnt proven and he could take a season to settle in. Have we got time for that ? Not in Game changers mind,they want success now. So l think we need someone with a bit more experience,who is used to a bit more pressure and with a track record, someone like Jerry Yates, whether that is possible l dont know. Any other names spring to mind ? because we really do need to get this signing right. I think its the most important signing of the summer. |  | | |  |

I think the post is fair comment. |
You think "As Davis showed Saturday its a lot of money paid for a young kid who is still learning the game and too much pressure on a youngsters shoulders" is fair comment? You think we should write off Davis on the basis of 1 game when he's barely got to know his new team mates? And you think it fair comment that the reason for this is he's a young kid (clue: he isn't) who can't handle the pressure?
What absolute drivel. | |

What I am not sure is the type of player Hirst is. Does he create chances himself, or only get on the end of crosses? One of the issues we've had for a while is an inability to consistently put in decent crosses, so in some ways it is not necessarily the main striker who is the issue. The other issue with Hirst is that he has only scored 16 goals in 96 league games, which does not necessarily suggest a prolific striker. In an ideal world, we'd get someone with the attributes of an Ivan Toney, but those players are few and far between at this level. And I'm hoping with more athletic and skilful players, we'll end up creating more clear-cut chances in any event, particularly when they start to gel. I certainly think we'd have given a bit of a hiding on Saturday to a team not as strong as Bolton. |  | | |

I read the post as mainly being about whether Hirst is the answer to our problems, and didn't think the comment on Davis was writing him off. | | | |

We don't have a striker problem. We have a vast number of players who know how to put the ball in the net. 2 of them however play deeper than they have previously and 1 had a partner to work with at his last club. |  |

Up to a point l agree. I just think if he comes here, and it is only if at the moment, fans may be expecting 20+ goals from him, ld love to see it happen believe me. I just think people will be expecting too much. |
I don't think most fans EXPECT 20 goals.
But he's in the wrong game (and def the wrong position) if he doesn't want pressure.
To be fair, with all the 'free passes' and 'gelling' excuses over the past few years, he couldnt come to a better place if hes worried about pressure. |  |
