I say give George Hirst a chance


Recommended Posts

You're right - what's the worst that can happen.... 

 

Doesn't score, gets boo'd, leaves club, developes into international class striker, scores goals for england, leaves us wishing if only we'd developed him sensibly and got him there ourselves.

 

Not saying he's ready or not. Just there are potential pitfalls to bringing youth in especially too early, in front of seasoned top quality players, with crowds demanding instant success.

Striker isn't the primary concern to be honest, my major concern is our manager thinks we only need two CB.

Might work might not, saw him at worksop on Tuesday , scored winner with a penalty so probably worth considering just for that ! 

Thought he looks very young, raw and probably be eaten alive by some defenders. 

Send him on loan somewhere, league 2 possibly league 1, toughen him up then look again.

Youth often have pace as an asset on their side but don't think he got that.

I'd loan him locally until January, then assess how he's doing. Donny, Chesterfield, Rotherham... take his pick, and get some mens football.

I think a loan is the best option for him.

Im not, its giving HIM the confidence, in friendlies at least or league cup games

Yes, but you said he should be given "a chance". 

 

I've only seen him play twice, but both were quite recent.  He doesn't look anywhere near ready championship football to my inexpert eye; others, more expert, feel the same.  It might all be different after Christmas, who knows.
