How is Hirst still on?? FFS. I’m losing faith. 

[yankfan]

3 min in and Hirst has given it away 3 times already

a fascinating divergence of opinion on here as to whether Hirst is worse than Szmodics. do you prefer strychnine or arsenic?

At least Szmodics has offered some goals and assists already. I'm yet to see Hirst contribute anything other than that shoddy attempt at a penalty last week.

[pick32]

Dack should leave, Donkeys ahead of him. What a shame 

[booth]

Hirst is so f***ing slow to react to passes right to his feet. Twice in a couple of minutes.

[BigBar]

If Trav was a new signing he would be slated. He's been awful these days.

Rovers need to increase the tempo and as we seen from a couple of decent moments we had that we cut through Wigan defence. I keep mentioning the tempo thing every game cos we haven't been good enough. 

Surprised to see Hedges off. 

fatigued I believe is the vogue word.

[Miller11]

So Hirst actually gets beyond his man, beats him again to kill a bit of time… still nobody can be arsed getting in the box

[WacoRover]

I’ve tried to be positive, but based on what I’m watching, conceding an easy one is just a matter of time. 

[roverandout]

Jdt is desperately trying to prove hirst is a good signing by keeping him on.  Hoping he miraculously turns into ronaldo.  Rather than hook him off and keep on Hedges who can produce a bit of quality 

[benhben]

According to my football app Hirst at 23 has scored 18 goals in 109 appearances. Doesn't bode that well. 

If you take away last season in L1 he's got 3 goals in 65 games.......

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Gally coming on?

[Tugay-is-God]

Can't imagine Hedges will be happy with that, big chance to impress there in front of the Wales manager.

The players will know what JDT wants. 

[Nuttall is lost]

This would make you long for the old fashioned 4-4-2.  There seems to be no one up front.  BBD is a bloody winger.  Our XG = -1 million

Gally on for Hirst

[yankfan]

Gally coming on to show Hirst how to properly give the ball away. 

[davulsukur]

Another poor game on the road. Hirst on the right is just another baffling tactic. 

Looks like he'll be off for Gallagher in a minute, who'll come onto the right,which is just as baffling 

[G Somerset Rover]

Hirst’s record at this level makes Browny look profilic.

Agree with this.

It's like his brain is slower than his feet (or vice versa) - but something doesn't seem quite right with him.

Wish I'd posted that

[Dan]

We need Dack or Wharton on. 
 

Glad to have Gally on(never thought I’d ever say that!)for Hirst. Worst that Chris Brown and Ashley Ward.

[J*B]

Here’s what I don’t understand. We’ve subbed Brittain, Dolan and Gallagher on now. That means if we want to put Dack on, we can only really sub on BBD off, who’s our biggest threat. 

[WacoRover]

C’mon, Gally, give us… something.

Meanwhile, still lolling about the back
