Norwich manager Glenn Roeder has challenged defender Jon Otsemobor to contribute more to the team after scoring in the 5-1 win over Colchester.The former Crewe right-back, who joined the Canaries in the summer, opened the scoring against the Us and Roeder has now laid down the gauntlet for him to maintain that level of performance.

"I've been quite critical of Jon," Roeder told the club's official website. "As I always say to the players, the time to worry is when I come in and say nothing to you because then your history," said Roeder.

"I sometimes get frustrated with him because he's got alot of good attributes that go to making a very good footballer - power, pace and he passes the ball with the inside of his foot as accurately and as hard as anyone I have seen.

"I thought he contributed to lots of good things in our play and the goal was fantastic. You would have thought he was an old hand striker the way he tucked that one in. I'm really pleased for him."
