Striker we need is already in the building 20:10 - Jan 18 with 4526 viewsjasondozzell

George Hirst.

Think maybe some are too quick to dismiss Hirsty.

Susceptible to injuries but many players are and he's worked hard to get back again. Don't forget how good he was in the small number of games he featured in. Great at Brentford and very important cameo at Spurs.

Looked very sharp in the cup game.

Like Broady, right under our noses!

That's why an Evan Ferguson loan seemed the best option but we didn't seem to be looking at him at all.


Fits the bill, and I seem to recall he was on KM’s radar previously.
As we all know with Hirst and Philogene, KM doesn’t give up if he wants someone.
Two problems:
He’s another one who seems to pick up lots of niggling injuries, bit like Hirst.
Can’t see Brighton loaning him out anyway, given they have a similar issue with Danny Welbeck.

Yeah that's great but if either Hirst or Delap are injured then we are relying on Ali again. We need three strikers.

This isn’t a dig at you, but it’s funny (tragic?) how we’re not even counting AAH as a striker now. The poor sod. You’ve got to feel for him. And I agree by the way.

Very hard though to find an upgrade who is available, who wants to come, who makes sense for long term future of the club and will add quality. For a start, it won't be a starting striker.

Hirst might surprise everyone (again)...


If only we’d got promoted via the automatics giving us a shtload of time to scan various markets.

If we don’t sign a third striker, we are good as down

We’ll be good again... one day

Heard that we're trying to get Taiwo Awoniyi but only want a loan where as Forest want to sell.


Would be chuffed with that, and dare I say it, an upgrade on Hirst.

Poll: We’ve got super KM, he knows exactly what we need. Woolfie at the back…

That’s ridiculously negative

Al hamadi hasn’t started a game all year and has barely played more than 10 minutes. If Delap and Hirst got injured then I would agree we are instantly down - but we have people who can score elsewhere on the pitch if 1 was to get injured

Delap is the key let’s be honest

Delap can manage 70mins (odd occasion when he’s done 80/85) The drop off when he goes off is massive.
When he’s off we threaten little to nothing.
Haven’t gone tho all the games but I dare say we’ve not picked up many points once he’s off the pitch?

I actually do wonder if we might see him start some games.

I know delaps a good player. But doesn't mean he has to start every game when he's in development mode.

Szmodics. Injured
Chappers. Injured.

Hutch and Taylor. 2 goals each across 20 games

We are imo definitely not well stocked for goals elsewhere on the pitch.

We have scored 20. Delap has 8

Hoping both are back soon to be fair - and we deffo have goals in us that aren’t just Liam.

Have A feeling Broady is going to go on a little run of goals

I think the bigger picture is more of a worry. While I think Delap stays if we don’t go down for another season he will be going at some point if he carries on developing. We need to be looking a season or two ahead at all times, we have got a lot of young players on long deals done this season but should always be building on what we have. The stars of one season become the bench of the next (not all) then squad players it’s how teams evolve.
