Roeder Risked Life And Limb In Smog City!
Central defender Curtis Davies was the man under the spotlight, and the West Brom skipper had an eventful day.
The 21-year-old Davies was booked after conceding a first-half penalty for a tug on Ayegbeni Yakubu and was then dismissed a minute from time for wrestling Mark Viduka to the ground.
Roeder: "I was at The Riverside on Saturday. We play Middlesbrough at St James' Park a week on Saturday and it was a good opportunity for me to have a look at them.
"In addition, it also gave me the chance to run the rule over a couple of players at West Brom we have shown an interest in in the past."
