Roeder's 'Perfect Day' As Matty Gives Him Victory!

The Canaries' slump had left them five points adrift at the bottom of the Championship but goals from Luke Chadwick and Jamie Cureton in either half secured a morale-boosting first league win since September 15.

Glenn Roeder: "This means everything.

"I said before the game that it didn't matter how we played as long as we took the three points.

"Well, we have won by playing some excellent football and as far as I'm concerned it has been a perfect day.

"We had got into the habit of not winning games and that simply had to change. Now we have done that hopefully we can move on from here.

"I've just come out of the dressing room and it is a very happy place. Nobody seems to want to leave, which is excellent. It just shows how much this win means to everyone at the club.

"I am pleased with all the players, everyone played their part today.

"We passed the ball really well and that's exactly what I want to see from my team. If Norwich were a long-ball team you wouldn't have seen me here in the first place.

"I was very pleased with Matty and not surprised. I saw a lot of him when I was with the academy at Newcastle, and also when I was manager, so I know what the boy can do. He's got a lot of quality about him and we're delighted to have him on loan.

"I was also pleased to see him come through the 90 minutes, because it can't have been easy having played just reserve team football this season.

"Everyone did well, I could go on and on about all of them."
