Ipswich manager Roy Keane blasted his side for giving away some ``unbelievably bad goals'' in the 4-0 Coca-Cola Championship defeat at home to Newcastle. [LNB] The Magpies returned to the top of the table with the thumping win while Keane saw his side achieve the unwanted record of making the worst start to a season in the club's history. A Kevin Nolan hat-trick and a free-kick from Ryan Taylor condemned Ipswich to defeat, and Keane admitted he expected the backlash that came from the fans at full-time. [LNB] ``The game was dead and buried by half-time," he said. ``We conceded some unbelievably bad goals and we just have to defend better."[LNB] He added: ``I don't know if Nolan has scored a hat-trick before but he won't get an easier chance to get one. He must have thought it was Christmas. [LNB] ``I'm not daft, a lot of supporters voiced their opinions at the end but that is fair enough. [LNB] ``They pay their money and they are entitled to that. But we will keep going.'' [LNB] Newcastle caretaker manager Chris Hughton was delighted with his side's performance as they crushed the home side with three goals in four first-half minutes. [LNB] Hughton and his players all attended the memorial service for Robson last Monday at Durham cathedral and ensured they honoured his memory with an emphatic win. [LNB] He said: ``This group of lads were all at the memorial for Sir Bobby on Monday and that was an emotional occasion. [LNB] ``The players were delighted to attend and we all tried to put on a performance for Sir Bobby. It was a special result and a special performance."
