Roberts backs Clement for Norwich rescue act

Former Norwich City striker Iwan Roberts believes head coach Philippe Clement has already shown he is capable of getting the team out of trouble this season.

The Canaries picked up their first home point of the campaign in Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Oxford United - and would have had all three were it not for an added-time equaliser by the visitors.

Former Rangers boss Clement was appointed on 18 November following the sacking of Liam Manning after only 17 matches in charge, and lost his first game at Birmingham City last Saturday.

"The lads looked leggy and tired with 15 minutes to go (against Oxford) - the game should have been put to bed in the first hour, the chances they created," Roberts told BBC Look East.
