It did look like a hyperextension, but he was down for the head injury rather than his knee. He also tweeted the morning after with his gashed eye brow, normally most injured players seem to disappear from social media. |  | |  |

Hirst out for 6 weeks on 08:59 - Nov 18 with 9786 views | TRUE_BLUE123 | Not good.... Such a good player but having a real issue staying fit. I though when he went down at Spurs during the game he looked done, was shocked he stayed on. |  |

….and had treatment on it. He then carried on and got the head injury after. It wasn’t a great 5 mins for him! |  |

Well he didn't disappear to Dubai with most of the rest of them as needed to have his knee looked at, I've heard 6 weeks is correct |  |

I hope that 6 weeks includes the week we've just had off for the international break. Couldn't have come at a much worse time in terms of the number of games he'll miss. |  |

How not getting that other striker at the end of the window could come back to hurt |  | |  |

Ugh, if so, that really does make it all the more frustrating not to sign/loan a third senior striker. |  | |  |
Hirst out for 6 weeks on 10:04 - Nov 18 with 9070 views | gainsboroughblue | Bloody hell. We can't catch a break this season with injuries. This is going to be a long six weeks hoping Delap stays fit. |  |

If it's 6 weeks from Spurs, we're looking at 6 games without him, up to and including Newcastle at home. Surely another #9 has to be our central priority in January? The way Delap plays so close to the edge, he's bound to pick up niggles too. I do worry that Hirst will be left by the wayside due to his lack of durability. And as for AAH - when did he last kick a ball for the first team? Argh. |  | |  |

He played the last few minutes against Man City, not sure if he kicked the ball in that time, but did get booked. |  |

Kieran seemed more concerned about the knee than his head injury post-match. |  | |  |

was it the same knee as he had the issues with before? |  |

Hirst out for 6 weeks on 10:37 - Nov 18 with 8609 views | JammyDodgerrr | That sucks. At least we have some sort of cover in AAH and Szmodics if we are desperate but that's a big blow. Looked like he was really finding his feet, too. |  |

Delaps on 4 yellow cards as well isn't he? |  | |  |

One was in the Cup, but think that might count this year. Think Hutchinson and Morsy are also on 4 yellows. |  | |  |

Looks like it's only cards in PL games so phew that gives us a bit more breathing room. Fingers crossed Delap can stay fit and AAH can be used for last 15 mins or so each game to help manage workload. |  | |  |

The thought crossed my mind too, but it looks like he's destined for a move to the MLS, unless we can convince him to join us in Jan. |  | |  |
Hirst out for 6 weeks on 11:53 - Nov 18 with 7745 views | Vaughan8 | Lets be honest AAH is not good enough for the Premier League. I would imagine Smodzics would be a backup striker to Delap in case of inury/suspension. |  | |  |
Hirst out for 6 weeks on 12:54 - Nov 18 with 7222 views | brazil1981 | If true, maybe Nathan Broadhead will finally get an opportunity to play some minutes. Not a like for like I know but at least he’s a forward! |  | |  |
