Have Baz, Hirst, Wlaker developed?
Or the young players we have signed who have disappeared?
We do seem very good at getting them injured. Maybe a result of this insistence on high press.
I don't understand how anyone can possibly think Hirst has not developed through the season ? The evidence is there right in front of your eyes. Bazanu & Carter too have both been successful young loans whose host clubs will be delighted at the development in their game whilst under the Cowleys.
The only young loan that did not develop here was Azeez, and that was more due to lots of competition in his position, but I dont think anyone can criticise DC for taking a player like him with his profile on loan - he could equally have been sensation if he had been ready for Lge 1 football, which he clearly wasn't.
Other loans like Romeo & Walker are old experienced players where development is not an issue.
The handling of Azeez was awful which is why he was recalled. There was no competition at that time, we were crying out for creativity. He wasn’t given the opportunity and if he wasn’t ready for L1 football, what was he doing here?
Hirst is slightly less shit than he was granted.
He wasn't allowed to get into a rythm from the start maybe DC was scared to over play him?
The latest from the Emirates is that he could be going into Arsenal's 1st team No thanks to Pompey!
As for Hirst I would say he's improved since being with us & confidence has increased.
Still a long way to go but potentially a decent Championship Striker.
