In regards to Roger, he seems to have some skill that would be more suited to playing behind the strikers rather then up front. Saying that, he seems to be still coming to terms with his new club and may kick into gear shortly.

Agree that Maitland need to find a new penalty taker. Woud hate to see it cost them in an important game. It almost did in Valo match. He scores from spot that night and they take 3-1 lead. In end held on but 2-1 was always too close at end.
Im not sure Rodger fits into the Maitland style of play anywhere across the park.
Ive been watching Maitland for a few years now and he just looks out of place in that side. He and Benny Martin dont look like they are working together at all and his team mates cut a frustrated figure when he runs the ball and loses it (which is too often). As a new player bought in with the new manager though it seems like he is one of the favourites so i dont see him being dropped anytime soon for Luke.
