How did Hirst look? 17:24 - Jan 12 with 4942 viewsringwoodblue

With all the talk about signing a striker in Jan, is a fit Hirst good enough if we don’t?

He looked lively in his cameo. If he stays for I think him and Delap should be enough but an extra pair of legs wouldn't go amiss.

As you’d expect - not ‘match fit’ but showing his quality

Hirst is great, and Delap's a beast, but we need 3. If 1 of them isn't available we don't have the depth as we've seen so far this season. Would allow us to get AAH out on loan too.

He did nothing really, but then that wasn't really the point either. All about getting him back on the pitch.

If we buy someone of quality he's clearly a great option as one of the 3 strikers

He was never going to come on and do full out sprints. Gradual steps and build up the confidence.

Altho he did nothing of note..


He did however show on a few occasions how to make a run for Burgess to chip it over into an unoccupied space and Hirst makes a run around the defender to meet the ball.


It's those runs that made him a dangerous player for us as it opens up passing options.

a niche perspective

Love the guy, but let’s be honest - another striker is a MUST!
Unfortunately, he’s made out of glass and will no doubt get injured again before the end of the season. We just can not afford to rely on him as only Delap backup.

Nice peroxide finish

Great to see him back. Such an important player for us

Came on for 15 minutes and done more than Ali. Unlucky not to score with a chip when put through on goal. Also on another occasion was unlucky not to score from a cut back from broady.

I thought he looked sharp considering how long he has been out.

He has had 2 injuries since being with us, hardly Teddy Bishop is he.

Bordering 7 months out over the past 2 years by my reckoning. 4 months last season, August and November - January. That’s a fair chunk and something we can not rely on not happening again over the final 4-5 months of season.

League, 55 appearances in 87 games since he joined and he played less than half the total minutes of those 55 games he took part in, plenty of which were like today (recovery minutes) we definitely need another striker.

I make it 3 injuries, 1 Hamstring last year and 2 Knee injuries this year. I agree that he's no Teddy Bishop, but he has missed a significant portion of the last year. Hopefully, this period will be behind him now but it definitely highlights that we need a backup of at least the same quality as Hirst.

It's never been a quality issue with Hirst - if we could guarantee his fitness we wouldn't need another striker, but not sure we can rely on that happening.
