Welsh International, Craig Bellamy says he will be more ruthless in the goalmouth next season, following a seaosn of wasted chances and poor finishing. As Newcastle prepare to mount a title bid, Bellamy says he WILL find the net more often.

Welsh Whippet (Craig Bellamy) has vowed to score more goals next season after admitting he should have found the net more often last season.

Many fans were frustrated at Bellamy's finishing and wasted chances last year, but Craig is convinced that - as Newcastle prepare to mount a challenge for the Premiership title - he will be more ruthless in the goalmouth.

"I'm not going to lie - I should have scored more goals last season," said Bellamy. "I didn't make the most of the opportunities I had and I know that. But I will score more next season, I'm certain of it."

Bellamy added: "I don't want to make too many excuses but you have to look at the sort of chances I was getting.

"They weren't tap-ins from six yards. A lot of them I was making myself by beating players and causing problems in the penalty area.

"I was running in on goal from 40 yards a lot of the time. When you are a striker, the most important thing is to make sure you get the chances - and I was doing that."
