George Hirst on 23:34 - Aug 17 with 1039 views | Kievthegreat | He definitely needs someone to push him, but mostly so he can either play 70 minutes or 20 minutes each game. He massively tires at the end of games, but until then he's fantastic and just fits our systems so well. |  | |  |

George Hirst on 08:06 - Aug 18 with 921 views | Bluemike31 | He was ok in spells and did a couple of really good things, but, there is a but, at times he looked quite lazy when not closing down or chasing, I honestly don't think he is the right person to lead the line all season, just not gonna be good enough consistently enough. |  | |  |
George Hirst on 08:40 - Aug 18 with 866 views | weepingx2018 | He can't control the ball too well can he, (well not today anyway), it makes you realise how good Delap was. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

He can't control the ball ? For the most he had a defender literally up his anal cavity all game and worked wonders with the space he was given How many times did he spin his marker ...I remember at least twice leading to promising attacking situations |  |

Ball control skills I think both Hirst and Delap are similar - only difference is Delap will get a shot away while Hirst will hold on to the ball longer and often gets forced wide or dispossessed |  | |  |

…..I reckon even Madley would have got his yellow card out for that. It’s ungentlemanly conduct at the very least. |  |

"Yellow Card" being a euphemism I'm sure |  |

George Hirst on 20:51 - Aug 17 by Nutkins_Return | Couldn't fault his work rate but some really loose control and had trouble with the ball today. Just didn't come off for him. Was nearly a stunning finish though. [Post edited 17 Aug 23:03]

Indeed, once he gets to sharpness I can see him getting a hatful of goals as he did with Blackburn. |  | |  |

Do you not think he'd suit that inside left role with Leif on the overlap, rather than the conventional 10 behind Hirst. I'm sure he played that inside left for Blackburn in a 3-4-2-1 in his best season. |  | |  |

George Hirst on 17:04 - Aug 17 by Illinoisblue | I saw a Southampton fan describe today’s ref as the Ipswich man of the match. I thought that was going to be the most incredible thing I read today |
People are incapable of recognising that they're massively biased towards their own team. Town fans who grumble about refs every week are every bit as wrong and tiresome as Saints fans who grumble every week. |  | |  |

George Hirst on 17:06 - Aug 17 by PhilTWTD | National journalists who were chatting to us after the game had him down as man of the match! |
He did a lot right, but he was far from clinical. That run on 39 minutes was fantastic, only for the shot to be tame as. One penalty scored and one penalty missed so far. No open play goals so far, and none for any of our players in the first two league games. I know this isn't the premier league but you've still got to take your chances. Hirst has lots to do in our system, and he does so much of it well, but in any system the number 9 has to be able to take chances. Not a bad game overall, but I can't see how he's MOM. I'm concerned that our total lack of other options will leave him knackered, which ain't gonna help either. |  | |  |
George Hirst on 15:19 - Aug 18 with 510 views | Wallingford_Boy | Seems the bulk on here agree with me. Bar the hapless Jacks from yesterday, Hirst got the lowest rating in the team (5.9). I am not saying he is a bad player to be clear, quite the opposite, just yesterday he did not play well. I am glad (most) of the TWTD gang agree! |  |

George Hirst on 17:17 - Aug 17 by Trequartista | He's been average in both games. No question about his work rate but not really very effective. I suspect in the back of his mind he knows he's playing 90 minutes so isn't playing at full pelt yet. |
Yet he has a goal and an assist in 2 games. He was my MOTM |  | |  |

George Hirst on 17:06 - Aug 17 by Garv | Ref gave a lot our way first half, probably more their way second. On the whole I think he controlled it quite well. |
Why by any chance do you think he was giving a lot our way first half? Couldn't possibly be that they were kicking chunks out of us. I'm not sure you understand the purpose of the ref. |  | |  |

He's scored or assisted in both of our goals. |  | |  |

that is a text book McKenna/Ipswich move, a thing of beauty. At the time I thought the keeper got a touch as did Phil (similar viewing angle to me), looking at the vid I am not so sure now. |  | |  |

can;t work out really if sammy did the right thing in going across the defender, which may have resulted in a trip ( or possibly a freekick to them based on the ref) or if he should have used his left to put the ball on his favoured right... |  |
