Roeder: "Players Should Motivate Themselves"
"That was shown in our results from February to the end of last season when considering the position we were in, we managed to finish seventh. However, in our last two games in Alkmaar and at The Valley, I was disappointed with the attitude of two or three of our players - not all of them - when we went a goal behind.
"That is something I will not accept. I know who these players are and it will not matter to me whether they have contracts or not, they will not feature in my long-term plans.
"I have been in football all my life and one thing I have learned is that as far as motivation is concerned, 99% of the time, it comes from within. It is something you are born with, so in some cases, it does not matter who the manager is.
"However, I am a naturally motivated person and I have to say I am hugely disappointed that at times in our last two games against Alkmaar and Charlton, some of our players have not shown the natural motivation I expect and want at this club.
"Don't forget, I had six years here as a player which were the best and happiest of my career, and I do truly feel one of you. No-one wants this club to pick up some silverware more than me."
