Roeder told the Evening Chronicle: “I have watched the videos of our wins over Celta and Portsmouth and Nobby was terrific at right-back.
“He hardly gave the ball away in either game, but his performances were not a surprise to me or my coaching staff.
“Don’t forget, we see Nobby in training every day and we all know what a great football brain he has.
“There is no doubt in my mind that he will make a good manager some day.”
