Roeder: "Today, we saw the Oba Martins I have been telling you about for a long while - and you will see plenty more, I will keep saying that. They were two magnificent finishes.

"It was just so pleasing when I wanted to buy him that the chairman found the money because he was an expensive purchase. He obviously trusted my judgment with that. It is not relief, but it is pleasing to see him start scoring goals, which he has done over the last few games.

"Equally, it is very pleasing when you sign someone on a free transfer, like Antoine Sibierski, and watch him do so well.

"It is nice to be proved right and vindicated after being allowed to invest a lot of money in a player who I think will give us good service. That is what we must do from now on. We must not invest in players who cost a lot, but do not bring anything to the table.

"He will bring plenty to the table. He is 22 years old and he has got the attitude of a player who will keep improving. He is a lovely man and he has got something that I personally love in a human being, he has got humility.

"If you have got humility, that allows you to become better."
