Roeder vows to beat boo-boys

NEWCASTLE boss Glenn Roeder will not buckle under the weight of expectation as he prepares for a crucial Premiership clash with Charlton.

A small section of the club’s travelling support briefly turned on chairman Freddy Shepherd following Sunday’s 1-0 derby defeat at Middlesbrough.

The Magpies bounced back with an encouraging 3-0 Carling Cup victory over Portsmouth on Wednesday evening, but entertain Charlton having taken just seven points from 27 they have contested so far, a return which leaves them 16th in the Premiership.
