Newcastle United boss Steve McClaren insists they're not in crisis after defeat to Watford.

After crashing 2-1 at home to newly-promoted Watford, McClaren – who is still searching for his first league win with the Geordies – admitted that his team had a tough job to turn things round.

But he declared: “No way is it a crisis. This is not a time to panic.

“I know the Premier League and we have to find a way to win. We have been searching for that win for six games."

Newcastle are now joint bottom of the league, ahead of north-east neighbours Sunderland only on goal difference.
