Good god yes. He’s a slow cart horse with little technical ability and no eye for goal. Very rarely gets an assist either. If we were in for him (I doubt that for a minute) it’s a bullet dodged. I’d much rather persevere with Azon, as Hirst will be back before long too. |  |

If we're going to sign anyone they need to be demonstrably better than what we've already got. In Hirst, Akpom and Azon we're not short of numbers for a side that plays 1 through the middle. Whether we're short of quality and goals is open to debate, but its hard to argue he would be an improvement. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Can't say this worries me much either even if true but doesn't Dykes get in the Scotland team above Hirst ? |  | |  |

Yep. He’s used as a battering ram from what I’ve seen. |  |

To play devil's advocate, isn't that what ITFC need? To be clear I'm not saying Lyndon Dykes should come here but isn't that at least the profile of player we would be targeting? Probably massively oversimplifying things here in all fairness as there's more to Hirst than just a battering ram. |  | |  |

I'd argue that coming up against teams that park the bus / low block us, we need to evolve our tactics and have a locksmith at No.9, not someone with a battering ram. Thought Akpom played it smart against Blackpool's back 5 - dropped deep to find space to get on the ball, linked up play pretty well, and forced their defenders to decide whether to go with him or hold their shape. Would love to see Szmodics given an opportunity in the 9 role too against packed defences, as I think of the 4 strikers he has the cleverest movement in the box, and also the best at getting shots off quickly. If we do manage to go up this season, I'm in full agreement we need a physical No.9 with pace and power to cope in the Prem, but it's going to be hard to find one of that calibre willing to play in the Championship. |  |
