Norwich City boss Glenn Roeder thanked his players for their efforts in the last few months, after a 1-0 win over Preston North End moved the Canaries eight points clear of the bottom three.

A last-gasp Darel Russell blockbuster secured all three points for Norwich, who are now unbeaten in 11 league games.

Roeder commented: "From where we were at the end of October, to be eight points clear of the relegation places now is a magnificent achievement, and I can't praise the players highly enough.

"We have moved up to 38 points and that's down to a mixture of hard work, good play and tremendous team spirit.

"All the players here have played their part, including the new ones we have brought in and the challenge now is to continue moving upwards, because there are still a lot of games to be played."
