Roofe was like that annoying bluebottle in the room - buzzes around a lot, but
you know you won't get stung and eventually it'll disappear! He provided a
decent nuisance value, and certainly more so than Lasogga, but we need more
than that. I'm surprised we haven't given the Swedish lad a run out - he must
be really crap in training? Ekuban looked a bit of a handful when he came on so
he might be first choice once he's fitter?
I hope the linesman who 'gave' the penalty has been demoted from the Football
League? It's one thing missing a sly foul, but a defender has you in a hold
around the neck and you end up on the floor, at which point he starts
watching!! Really poor, and spoilt the last few minutes, despite deservedly
hanging on!

Do you think ? I think they had the measure of Roofe in the first half. He's
not a lone front man.
