SAF:

It was said after we beat Portsmouth 2-0 in the League. Remember him saying that? I do, but probably only because it plays into my feelings about Roo and this whole workrate business. I know my fellow Caftards love that about him - but I think that's part of what's holding him back.

Why he couldn't follow SAF's advice I don't know - maybe the advice was different in the next team briefing - maybe he read a RedCafe thread about how great it is to see him track back - maybe a better definition of his role is what he needs, but that definition is about more than just the name of the job.
