Although Roberts was personally enjoying the most productive spell of his career, his four years so far at Carrow Road had seen the club struggle. They had barely threatened to qualify for the end of season play-offs and in the 2000–01 campaign had struggled against relegation from Division One. The 2001–02 season – with new manager Nigel Worthington in his first full season in charge – saw the team fare better and they reached the Division One play- off final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Roberts missed much of the second half of the season because of injury, but came off the substitute’s bench in the final to give Norwich the lead in the first minute of extra-time with a clinically taken headed goal. Norwich lost the match in a penalty shoot-out after Birmingham had equalised. Roberts took – and scored – the first penalty of the shoot-out but misses by Phil Mulryne and Daryl Sutch proved costly as Birmingham were promoted to the Premiership.
