Funny how different we see things, because whilst Roofe wasn't overly
effective, when he was on the pitch the team definitely were. When Wood came
on, we lost some of our fluidity, and, much as I wish my view was different, I
still can't see him being a first choice in any decent team. He did hold the
ball up a few times, chased it down well, but unconvincing at best.
Good to hear in the post match interview that Pontus wants to make the deal
permanent - that one signature will go a long way to deciding this season!
