Moore: Players To Blame

The Baggies defender admitted that he had been at fault for Newcastle's opener at the Hawthorns on Sunday and that further defensive frailties have to be stopped if the side are to climb the Premier League table.

"The manager is obviously very disappointed," he said after the 3-0 defeat.

"We were let down by individual mistakes and I have to hold my hand up for the first goal.

"As a team we have to shoulder the blame. It is not down to the manager. It is individual mistakes that have cost us."
