Roeder rues defensive lapses

NEWCASTLE boss Glenn Roeder was left to rue more reckless defending as his side once again threw away a lead to lose at home.

The Magpies left the pitch at half-time 1-0 ahead through Shola Ameobi’s 19th-minute penalty and good value for it after out-playing Bolton.

However, two moments of madness allowed first Nicolas Anelka and then Kevin Davies to serve the ball up on a plate for El-Hadji Diouf to claim the points as the home side capitulated horribly.
