Your logic is flawed. He’s not going to score a pen every 5 games and not going to score via a terrible goalkeeper error every 5 games. He’s been poor this season albeit better tonight |  | |  |

Neither will he miss a 6 yard header every 5 games. Swings and roundabouts. He's 2 goals in 5 (plus an assist). That's 3 goal involvements in 5 games. From a player in terrible form? Hopefully his goal in open play tonight will give him a leg up. He earned that goal from being alert and pouncing on an error. Like all good forwards do. Did you see the smile on his face when JP scored?.. Absolutely great to see the team spirit he showed tonight. A trade mark of what he brings to the side. Grafting for the team. Love Hirsty.. When he's on his game he's a nightmare for CB's. |  | |  |

Let’s not forget his finish for the offside goal - looked very confident His play to win the header and then spray it out to Philogene for the 2nd goal was superb |  | |  |
Everything is good, just need that number 9 now.. on 06:57 - Sep 13 with 2336 views | PioneerBlue | No reason for constant jabbing at Hirst. He’s a top performing in his position at this level. Sure he might not have started quite where we wanted him this season but the season is long. If he keep injury free we do well with him in attack plus KMck know what we need and he locked him down as our number 9. Time to move on from this click bait. |  |

No, but he’ll probably score other goals too. Just the four goals in the 70 mins he was on the pitch last night, booooooo |  |

Obviously he is trying his best and with all respect to him but I cant see him in the starting line up for too much longer, |  | |  |

I bet he (like most of us) wishes the offside goal had counted and the other didn’t. Was such a good strike, the goal a striker gets when he has confidence. |  |

4 direct goal involvements you could say. He assisted Philogene’s 2nd tonight, he played a good 1-2 with Akpom with his head and showed good awareness to let the ball run across him and turn out to open the play up. Obviously Philogene had a lot to do but technically it’s an assist. While it won’t go down as one I don’t think, it was very much an assist for the Southampton OG. He was superb against them. Irrespective of that he’s a good player at this level, and his game is about so much more than goals. His movement is superb and he played well again last night. Could do with being a bit more clinical on 1 or 2 chances this season but he’s started well enough IMO. [Post edited 13 Sep 8:05]

Well, yes, it is the true mark of a 'cart horse' forward that they are alert to any opportunity, run with the ball whilst moving their arm out of the way to avoid handball and then turn a full three sixty before hitting a firm and accurate shot through a goalkeeper'e legs from a tight angle... |  |

Wally, you've got to give us mere mortals a bit of leaway. For most of the last 18 months youve been posting mostly negative stuff so I think we (well I do at least) assume a comment like your OP isnt a joke. Im glad you said it was, and ill take the wooosh! |  |

Ditch the blond hair and he will be fine. I thought he was poor first half. But won a couple of headers early on second half and pushed on a bit. The first half performance is still a concern. Obviously not easy either a new partner (Akpom), but you have to win your duels. |  | |  |

Yes more than good enough , will score 15 plus goals this season and brings other players into play a lot ! The only worry is his injury record but if fit he brings plenty to the team , go find something else to moan about |  | |  |

He hasn't really been poor. We just haven't been a cohesive unit. He had an excellent pre-season. He should have 2 goals tonight as a fantastic 2nd that wasn't offside. We always have to find a player or two to hang things on when not going right. Strikers don't score every chance or every game. We are only 5 games in and he's got 2. We keep improving as a team, Hirst keeps scoring. No problem |  |

Everything is good, just need that number 9 now.. on 11:15 - Sep 13 with 796 views | HighgateBlue | Let's enjoy the 5-0 and rejoice in the possibility that we will do as we did when we sliced through the divisions previously - we amassed goals from across the attacking players (and beyond). Hard to criticise Hirst on last night's performance in my view, although I did very much criticise him on the opening few games. Having said all that, Sargent is the best goalscorer in the league, and I would love him here. First their Nunez and then their number Ninez! I feel that is pie in the absolute sky though, and I'm looking forward to seeing what our own players can conjure from confidence and partnerships. |  | |  |

Did you watch the game or are you basing that on the Derby match? |  | |  |
