He was somewhat restricted by an early booking, and then committed another foul shortly after. Sensible to take him off at half time given the referee was very card happy, but he missed a bit of an opportunity to make a bigger impression in the second half.

Some good work tonight, I thought. He needs to learn control

I think he's so keen to impress, he's letting control slip a bit.

I thought he was going to get a second yellow for that challenge, so I think it was the right decision to take him off at half-time, though he'd been doing OK.

As soon as he got booked I started worrying he would get sent off. While he's adapting to playing at a higher level, he does have a tendency to foul as he gets caught out more often.

For me, he has the rest of this season as a training and development period, give him the pre-season, and then we will see more of what he's made of next season.

The booking Rogers got was a bit soft and only his first challenge. Another poor ref and too card happy. Rogers looked good at times and picked a couple of great passes.

The card was harsh and yes, he showed some glimpses of an intelligent creative player. Keep giving him game time where we can till the end of the season.

He shows a lot of promise , needs to cut out the silly fouls and bookings. Also he needs to learn that moving the hands in the shape of a ball and mouthing I got the ball is not going to cut it.

So doing the same thing every player claims when called back for a foul?

Every player? you have the evidence to back that up?

They must have seen something in him that I’m not quite seeing at the moment to justify the outlay

but I suppose that’s why the manager and back room staff are making a living from football and I’m selling old Lorries for a living

I can absolutely see something in him. He had a couple of really nice carries with the ball last night and some lovely link up with Diaby. But unsurprisingly he’s very raw and needs to work on his game.

We've been linked with Eddie Stobart apparently.
