DUBLIN: WE OWE IT ALL TO ROEDER; Barnsley 1 Norwich 3 Coca Cola FOOTBALL LEAGUE.

DION DUBLIN paid tribute to Glenn Roeder's motivational skills as the Canaries continued their climb away from danger.

When the former Newcastle boss arrived at Carrow Road 11 weeks ago Norwich were rock-bottom.

But Roeder, 51, has steered them into safer waters and victory at Barnsley made it nine games unbeaten.

Even veteran striker Dublin reckons he is learning new things from his latest manager.

"Glenn's motivational skills, when he is speaking to us as individuals and as a team, are very good," said the 38-year-old.

"He knows what to say, how to say it and who to say it to. He knows who to give a telling off to and who to put an arm around - and he's getting the right response.

"This is my 22nd season as a professional footballer and I've loved every minute of it. But you can still listen to people like Glenn Roeder and learn things."

Norwich were behind at half-time after winger Martin Devaney cut in from the left flank and struck a low 25-yard shot past David Marshall.

But on-loan Manchester City striker Ched Evans, 19, rifled in an equaliser from 12 yards just after the break.

Mark Fotheringham fired the Canaries ahead in the 70th minute and Dublin nodded in a third four minutes later.

Dublin said: "We didn't deserve anything from the first-half performance.

"But a few words of encouragement from the manager meant we came out all guns blazing after the break."
