Hirst out until the back end of the season at the earliest - seeing a surgeon this week about a ruptured hamstring (as per tweet in OP). |  |

To me it did always feel all season like we were short of a Hirst replacement should anything happen to him so feels like we've been walking that tightrope all season. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

That is incredibly gutting for all parties. |  |

...so we are fortunate with the timing. |  |

Agreed, it has felt that way. I’ve no doubt the price of anyone we are after will now get ramped up. It’s what I would do if I was the selling club. I think it’s important that we stick to whatever plan we might have had and not go into late window Evans-style panic mode. The way we’ve gone about things in the past couple of seasons has served us well. I see no need to change that. The most important thing is that Hirst is looked after and makes a full recovery. I’m sure he will be and will, even if we lose him for the rest of the season. |  | |  |

And the other positive is that a decent striker is going to be reluctant to sign for us knowing he is back up for Hirst. Whoever we sign will be a first choice. |  |

It was a panic move. Seemingly we thought we had a chance to sign Simms. Not sure why. |  |

Another panic move, along with Ahadme, Camara and maybe Williams. Pretty poor really. |  | |  |

Bloody bad news, but we'll be very attractive to two quality candidates (promotion chance AND pretty much guaranteed big minutes) - just a case of some creative cost-scheduling and getting deals done. One good purchase and one good loan up top should be the target. Not too young, or if so of exceptional moral fibre! |  |

People seem to have forgotten that we also have 18 year old Gerrard Buabo, who looked very good in the few minutes he played on Friday. Returning from injury so will need building up, but may well be able to help us out as the season goes on. |  |

Also the opportunity to play under a (clearly) outstanding manager and in front of full houses each week. Nor everything … but not nothing either |  | |  |
