Magpies' manager Sir Bobby Robson is asking striker Craig Bellamy to take some of the goal-scoring burden off Alan Shearer, who has scored all of Newcastle United's Premiership goals so far this season bar two) Bellamy has scored just two goals this season - both coming in Newcastle's 5-0 victory over NAC Breda at St James' Park in the Uefa Cup and Robson would like him to start getting himself on the scoresheet in the league too.

Shearer has scored nearly all of The Magpies' Premiership goals so far this season (All except two) and Robson feels that he needs and deserves help from his team-mates.

Bellamy missed several chances last week in Newcastle's victory over Southampton and Robson feels that the Welsh striker needs to work on his game a little more.

ROBSON SAID:

"We had Craig chugging away against Southampton. Again his last pass and last shot was just off but he's just got to keep going.

"He's a thorn in anyone's side. We've got to keep working on him and get him to improve in that last part of his game, basically.

"Craig several times has been in on goal and misplaced the final pass or misplaced the final shot."
