Hot Hirst silences doubters

IPSWICH boss Kieran McKenna was delighted to see George Hirst answer his doubters by netting twice.

- 

The Scotland striker had not scored in his previous five matches and has come in for criticism from some fans.

But he was on top form at Loftus Road, where Marcelino Nunez also scored twice for McKenna's side after Rumarn Burrell had levelled.

McKenna said: “It's a good boost for him. George manages to stay pretty confident. I've been happy with the work he's been giving to the team.
