Apparently he has fractured his acromioclavicular joint reckon he's probably out for the season. Can we recall McShane or any ideas who's going to take his place in the team?

Big blow, it will be Chester who takes his place, but we might now have to recall Cooper, we're very light defensively.
Tussling with Holt as they ran down the touchline from the kick off. Rosey gonna come off worse in that one. which he did. I was impressed with Holt- a real handful all game.
Didn't that oaf Holt (looks to be the same player that I remember playing for Rochdale) barged him over and then told him to get up and stop play acting until Gerrard intervened and put him right
Aye happened not long b4 he got subbed for obvious reasons and yeah its the shoulder http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acromioclavicular_joint. Massive loss that really, since stewart's injury rosy was the player who actually had some pace and hes been one of our most consistent players. Possibly Hobbs could play there leaving the more established partnership of gerrard and chester to remain.
After we equalised they ran down the touchline and Holt lost his rag and threw him to the ground. He was out of order and NP did not look best pleased at all. In fact he looked **** all game. Unfit, not a great touch and spent too much time moaning and berating the ref. How he has scored so many this season is beyond me.
Losing Rosenior will be a big blow for us, he's been one of our best and most consistent players throughout the course of this season. I'd now reshuffle the defence and push Chester into right back and keep the Gerrard-Hobbs centre back pairing which worked pretty well yesterday. However I'd still recall both Cooper and possibly McShane (if he can be recalled) just in case.
Does anyone else knows about the standard recovery time for this injury, still hopefull it won't be as long as I was told by the nurse who saw him in A+E. Footballers are normally back quicker then someone from the general population with the treatment they get.
Unfortunately Sanders Clinic Medical Website says that if Rosenior has a fractured acromioclavicular joint he'll be out for around 3 months.
Holt is just the sort of player we need up front. Strong as an ox and scores goals. Not at his best yeserday I would agree. Thats a real blow about Roseie. Been a revelation this season.
He definitely didn't look very sharp at all yesterday, however he's still a very good player at Championship level however badly he played yesterday because of all the attributes you mentioned. Someone like Holt or preferably Danny Graham I'd definitely welcome into our current squad.
Everytime I''ve seen Holt he's had the same kind of performance as yesterday. He's a fat dirty lump who happens to get in the right place at the right time too often for his actual footballing ability or attitude. His challenge on Guzan in the first half showed that. He was perfectly entitled to go for the ball but his boot caught Guzan who stayed down injured as Holt who'd ended up a few yards away got up, looked at him lying there and just walked off as though it was job done. It's the first time I can remember seeing a player have an incident like that and not go over and check whether the player was alright and to apologise because it was an accident. There were several other poor challenges from him and not once did I see him say anything to the player, and thanks to the ref letting them all go we've ended up losing Rosenior for probably the rest of the season.
The fact he's up for the POTY for the Championship and Norwich are in 2nd says a lot about how poor this division has been this season compared to last time we were here.

48 goals in 82 appearances for Norwich - that's why he is up for player of the year. I rate him, a real handfull for our 2 (or 3) centre backs and looked to be in good positions in the box alot of the time. Can bully players off the ball, great in the air and also pretty useful when holding the ball.
To be honest his challenge on Rosenior was poor, but nothing more than a booking. Real shame because everybody knows how good he has been this season, and credit NP for bringing him in when nobody else would have him. That alone could detter us from a top 6 finish, big blow. Only four senior defenders in the squad now so wouldn't be surprised to see Cooper back
Gutted for Liam, get well soon sunshine! As for Holt, he's a full weight yogurt basher! Big fat useless cooount! If Norwich go up, he'll not get a sniff at goal and Norwich will probably beat Derbys record points total.
Like Dirty Leeds Norwich are a typical league one side, big, dirty, physical team of cheats. How they didn't get booked for all that pushing and diving I just don't know?

To be fair to Norwich i thought Hoolihan was a constant threat and he looked a much better play then Holt who Gerrard dealt with comfortably.
Shame, he's been a stand out performer this season and in with a shout of player of the season. Just got to pick ourselves up, Chester, Hoobs, Gerrard and Daws in defence should be ok.
