Roeder rues missed chances
Glenn Roeder was left to rue missed chances as Newcastle slipped to defeat to Middlesbrough.
Boro were rewarded for a fine second half display as Yakubu Aiyegnbeni headed home a corner five minutes from time.
Newcastle passed up a number of chances prior to Yakubu's goal and Roeder was left licking his wounds.
"I am not sure that most people would agree it was even," Roeder opined to Sky Sports News. "I felt we should have had it wrapped up at half time.
"We did not take our chances, we have to accept that responsibility, and as far as I am concerned the first 45 minutes was one-way traffic.
"We never took the chances and the second half was a little more even. We still got into some wonderful positions and we didn't convert them.
"And then the killer blow was the goal to come at a time when we don't have time to come back from it."
Obafemi Martins hit the bar with a chip in the first half and Roeder feels that effort sums up their recent run in a microcosm.
"He did almost everything right," said Roeder. "Everything right would have been the ball drifting in under the crossbar.
"It was an excellent touch and he stood the ball up in the air and it's landed on the crossbar. A little unfortunate, but that's the way it has been going generally speaking of late.
"We have played well enough to pick up points but we are being punished."
The manner of Boro's winner hit Roeder hard, as he added: "It is disappointing to concede so late on to a set play and I am upset about that.
"We should not be conceding from set plays."
