Rude awakening for Warnock (and Pearce)
Although Rodolph Austin's injury is not as bad as first feared, Jamaican star still faces lengthy spell on the sidelines and Jason Pearce's red-card has been upheld despite appeal.
The good news is Rodolph Austin has not broken his leg in two places, the bad news however is he has cracked his ankle bone and will be out for a significant length of time.
Although Neil Warnock hopes to see him sooner rather than later there are fears it will be months rather than weeks. A chipped ankle bone has cost Ross McCormack three months of the season at least.
To compound Warnock's woes, Jason Pearce will miss the next three matches after the FA ruled referee Trevor Kettle was right to show him a straight red-card for a challenge on Watford's Matej Vydra.
Pearce told LUFC.com that he was "disappointed" with the decision and will now miss the next three-matches.
Let's hope Tom Lees comes back injury and incident free from England u21 duty.

Swansea City : Grimes misses a penalty in a return to bad old ways An error strewn and tepid Swansea display ensured thousands left the stadium before the staff and players did their usual walk around at this end of season game. It wasn’t a good look as two players received red cards and any effort by the home side was lost in a static and frustrating display.
Gwyn’s Eye View : Swansea City v MillwallGlyn is back with his favourite stats as we build up to the last game of the season. That comes in the form of Millwall who it seems are close to selling their requested 1,148 allocation, so its down to the Jack Army to do their bit this bank holiday weekend.
The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
