Share your thoughts in the comments below Whilst Hodgson offered his view on the clash, there were also a few differing views. Sky pundit Clinton Morrison said: 'Roy wants to fight someone! Nice man… Max Lowe's gone to get the ball. He thinks it's his throw. He's just tried to move Roy out of the way. Roy's grabbed him and said - don't do that again! "There's a little bit of a melee. But it's alright. It's been sorted. Still 1-0. But it did make me laugh, because I'm thinking, you can't argue with Roy Hodgs){kind=link}
