Why not? I thought he was bought in to give Hirst some competition.

Thought that was his best performance for us so far. Big shame he couldn't finish at least one of the two very good chances he got but at least he's getting them now.

I thought Azon did okay, but he was up against a back three, same as against Bristol, his other start. So it was always going to be hard for him. Lacks height to challenge in the air, which changes the tactics. Akpom had his best game for us did okay in the hole, though not a natural 10. But it was hardly stellar. Would have been a good game for a Chaplin type. Why we have gone from having several 10s to zero is a mystery. Hirst needs to come out of the firing line, he looked shot when he came on. But the options are not great.

Never been a fan of Hirst
Runs around a lot but has zero quality
The club have made a massive mistake not replacing this player

We will only see if Azon has what it takes by giving him a run of games. It's unfair on him to expect him to fire on all cylinders when he starts so infrequently.

Hirst looks shot of confidence atm. In the last 2 seasons he buries that chance but it's not clicking for him.

I'd stick with Azon and Akpom on Saturday to see if they can built some understanding

Azon & Akpom together up front might be even better! Try it.

I would do the same, both need to build up some momentum. Nothing is working for headless chicken Sammy and Hirst is like a rabbit in front of the headlights at the moment. If this was the 70s, both would be in the reserves for a week or two to build up confidence. But today's squad game does not allow that.

I miss the reserves , some good games and got players the match practice needed.

No reason why he can’t. He’s played a lot of football as a striker over the years, and I too thought he was partly bought in to cover that role.

Not a bad shout. Wouldn't mind seeing him as part of a front 3 that can interchange, maybe Szmodics, Azon and Akpom.

I've you've never been a fan of Hirst then you can't be an Ipswich supporter (or you have a terrible memory).

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Agreed. I think he deserves a go there and free's up the "number 10" for someone else.

I've not been overly impressed with him so far, likes to fall down too easy too, but having said that, CHarlton was his best game so far, despite having 2 great chances he spurned.
