Holdsworth is a very good player and one of the few halves over here worth investing in. I keep reading on here that Brown is determined to sign a stand-off, if this is the case I would be disappointed if we aren't at least interested in him. It wouldn't surprise me if Brown has changed his priorities though, with Gaskell already here and Hohaia's good form in recent weeks.

A talented guy who's failed to grab his chance. He's been replaced in the pecking order by Jones for Centre and Gaskell for standoff. Had he been able to string more than 3 games together without getting injured, he'd possibly be our first choice in one of these positions.
Its very much sink or swim and a loan deal seems the only way imo to allow him to both prove his worth as a first team player and give him the kick up the booty he needs.
He is increasingly becoming a waste of cap money and must surely be running out of chances. However to say he needs a kick up the booty is a bit harsh if he is genuinely injured all the time.
He's a real talent and it's a great shame he can't get out there more often. He's far too good to be playing in the championship IMO but if that's what it takes to get him a good run of games in then I'm all for it.
