Good point that. Shame it was a mistake that let them back in but sounds like we’ve managed the game well after the red. Big point if we can go on to beat Wigan
Agree BB was right to be afforded more patience than a loan to buy player. just feel that a few games from a low on fitness/confidence Hirst doesn't give us an accurate picture of his ability. Needs the full season (if he can earn his way into the team in training which he must not be doing at the minute) including a run of games before we can see whether there's £5m of potential there. Good having the luxury of the option to buy in case that doesn't happen and he continues as he has been.
True. Hirst is a bit more proven though than BB was having done well for Pompey last season, but yeh Hirst is up against the clock to start justifying his future fee. Massive moment missing that penalty, hopefully starts taking his chances the next time he gets on.
Exactly the type of comment made about early Brereton appearances. Far too small a sample size to see half a dozen partial games from a young player without much of a pre-season and claim he's shite. Possibly been shite to date but we shouldn't write him off.
Sharpe saying he’s expecting a mad scramble from champ clubs for Sam Surridge now Forest are signing Batshuayi..
Could see him slotting in as one of the front 4
From Sharpe's comments on his live blog it sounds as if we're now happy we've plugged all the gaps, but that an attacker would be a 'nice to have' if one becomes available.
Sounds as if we're keeping an eye out on who may become available with a view to making a last minute move if so.
Not sure how that changes if BBD goes.
