Wigan boss Bruce insists he's happy with Rodallega

Despite his lack of goals, Wigan Athletic boss Steve Bruce insists he's happy with January signing Hugo Rodallega.

Bruce said: "I'm absolutely delighted with Hugo.

"Ideally I would have only just started to play him now, but our situation has been such that he's been needed a lot sooner.

"I wanted to give him time to adjust and settle into a new lifestyle, but instead he's been thrown in at the deep end, which was difficult for him.

"However, he's shown today that he's a really, really good player, and in the first half he played extremely well with Olivier Kapo up front.

"This game was the third time in a row the opposition keeper was man of the match.
