Pretty good considering they share the game time so we only ever have one on the pitch.
Keep that record up over last 9 and we'll be in a very good position |  |

I was looking at Hirst and Azon's goals to minutes ratio the other day and they really aren't all that bad. Hirst is getting a goal every 194 minutes, which is only slightly less than a goal every other game. Azon is getting a goal every 273 minutes, so one in three essentially. Given how maligned they've both been that gives a bit of perspective, both are capable but the role they play means they share minutes and are expected to do more than just score goals. If they can continue their recent uptick in goalscoring then those stats will look even better and we'll be in a pretty good spot for the final push. |  |

It's alright but I feel this has been countered somewhat by a drop in goals from the three behind them. (Clarke peno aside) |  |

I’ve tried to say this rather badly in other posts. You are right.
Aside from that, Azon’s goal Saturday was a real strikers finish. Get in front of the defender, meet a good cross, thank you and goodnight. And he didn’t let his head drop after the one on one miss either. It’s what good players do.
I hope his and GHs confidence has been boosted a little. It’ll make a world of difference. |  | | |

I've felt Azon's overall game has improved, George's not so much and imo was a big part of our failure to not see out the stoke game. BUT its nice to see him score
Azon starting to show signs of why we were looking at him. Lovely goal on the weekend but awful waste of the easier chance before hand.
30 odd missed chances, 1 goal between them prior to wrexham etc.. But lets honest who gives a sht about anything at all as long as get promoted.
We will 100% need better next season regardless of league
Both are ample back ups for this league, both will need replacing if we go up.
But if they can between keep scoring for the next 9 games, that will as you say help us |  |

Yeah Hirst's return isn't terrible with 9 goals to his name so far. Would be nice if he can finish the season in form and add some more to that. Same for Azon.
Jordan James stats surprised me a bit, knew he was having a good season but 10 goals and 4 assists from CM for a struggling Leicester side is good going at 21. Pretty sure we were linked with him. The £4m option Leicester have is looking like good value. |  | | |

He's one I'd have liked to see us in for. He looks a really good prospect and offers something different from our other CMs. | |

Me too, really thought he would've been a good pick up for us. Reminds me a bit of Flynn Downes, but with more goals. He scored 8 for a guff Birmingham team as well at 19. | | | |

Yes, that's certainly a fair observation and credit where it's due.
Hirst has scored 3 of those, and Azon the other 3. I'm trying to work out if there's any reason behind the fact that all 3 of Hirst's have come from the bench. I don't believe he's scored in any of his last 7 starts, by contrast (and only 2 goals in his last 16 starts going back to the start of October).
To score 3 in 4 sub appearances in that context is a really interesting stat (2 in 2 away, 1 in 2 at home).
Maybe Kieran has worked out the key to making the most of him, or maybe it's just small numbers hence statistical oddity. |  | | |

James has played as the 10 for Leicester I believe, in front of 2 deeper CM.
Comparable to Mehmeti and Nunez, and his stats are similar, but wouldn't swap him for either of our 10's. |  | | |

I think he has a bit, he's been all over. Conventionally he's more of a 6 or 8, as he was at Brum IIRC. When Leicester beat us at their place he was certainly deeper alongside Skipp, but I think they've played him at the front of a 3 at times with Winks and Skipp in the middle.
He's a bit of a throwback, I think he's got a bit of everything and can play 6, 8 or 10. Perhaps he's one we could go for in the summer if Leicester go down. | | | |

And while the Big Chances Missed stat has been chucked at both of them Hirst at least now has a pretty good shot conversion rate of 16.4% which is currently better than Agyemang (13.2%), Moore (15.5%), Heggebo (15%).
Probably best we don't look at Azon's 8% shot conversion rate but even that is climbing up to something much more respectable than it was. |  |

Hirst's goals-to-minutes ratio last season was better than Delap's. He really is quite a regular goalscorer. |  | | |

Azon’s game and confidence is growing match by match… yes he should have scored that first chance at Hillsborough, but his work to carve it out was excellent and he kept going and it was great positioning to put away Johnson’s excellent cross.
Hirst is slowly slowly building that confidence, still some way off his best - but a World Cup to drive a place in |  |

Azon has made 'keepers pull out two or three astonishing reflex saves. While they can't be added to his goal total, should at least be taken into consideration. |  |

Obviously nowhere near his level but has a bit of Gerrard about him IMO. |  |

Both have scored three goals I think since they looked worryingly unable to, which has given their ratios a significant boost absolutely. Little coincidence that their purple patches have coincided with our best form yet. | | | |
