Hirst played well - held ball up, great assist. Looked a little lightweight in a couple of challenges and seemed to tire a bit, but didn't really put a foot wrong.
Delap was another level though. Great finish - and I was convinced that last minute shot was flying in the corner. No-one else in our team can pick the ball up in places like that, and create something out of nothing.
We'll see them rotate throughout the season I expect - Delap is quite a weapon coming on against tiring defences.
Would be great to have a 3rd striker - but think today we've seen they've both got what it takes to perform at this level. |  | | |  |

They are both good enough to make an impact up there. |  |

Smashing finish from George for his goal too. |  |

They’ve both got such good movement. Not sure if it’s genetics both coming from footballing families or just so well schooled at academy and England levels, but they’re probably the 2 most natural centre forwards we’ve had in literally years. Both of their goals today were lovely. We need to hope they both stay fit. [Post edited 26 Oct 2024 19:20]

I think this is the only season we will have Delap, will have a big money move in the summer. |  | | |

He will definitely stay in the Premier League whether we do it not, that's for sure! He is going to be some player when he's the finished article and I hope we get a good percentage of any future transfer clause written in to any sale, as it wouldn't be a surprise to see him go for a close to 9 figure fee at some point in his career. |  | | |

Hirst is a great player, i remember his Barnsley goal well. However he either needs to improve his upper body strength or ...if he's going down on purpose under challenge expecting to get a foul ....quickly realise that in the PL he ain't gonna get the refs decisions he used to get in L1 and Championship. Not sure which it is, and i love him as a player, but it needs fixing. |  | | |

Agree on strength / playing for fouls. Given the size/ability of the PL centre backs, think more likely to be a strength thing (big difference to Championship), but agree he's not going to get as many fouls.
Way he plays though, right on last defender - helps us stretch the game more. Wonder if KMC coaching Delap to play more in similar way, or sees him in a slightly different role.
Either way attacking unit still looks strong across the park
Delap / Hirst
Clarke/Szmodics/Broadhead | Hutchinson/Chaplin/Szmodics | Burns/Hutchinson/Delap(?)
Personally would love to see - Clarke Szmodics Hutchinson (not sure we've had that yet this season?) | | | |
