Newcastle United manager Sir Bobby Robson remains fully behind his players as their poor start to the Premiership season continued with a goalless draw against Bolton. In a game full of chances, Newcastle United could only manage a goalless draw, which leaves them 2nd bottom in the Premiership (After 'Boro beat Everton) - With Newcastle having just three points from their first five games, only Wolves are below them in the league.

Robson said: "Every single player we put out in the team gave absolutely 100%. I have no crib about that at all. We need a bit of luck and we didn't quite get it.

"If Gary Speed's header within the first five minutes goes in, we might get off to a rip-roaring start. We wanted to win it and they came defensively to get a point and therefore, I suppose, succeeded because they've got a point."
