Newcastle United fullback Daryl Janmaat feels the pressure is lifting on the club and manager Alan Pardew.
Janmaat was one of a handful of new signings caught up in the early season turbulence at St James' Park, but he insists the squad remain steadfastly supportive of Pardew.
"The manager was under a lot of pressure so it's nice that we have given him these points," said the Dutchman.
"The pressure has eased. We want him as the manager - of course. We want him.
"We do not want another manager. If you lose games then it is normal (for the manager to be questioned), but now I expect the pressure to ease on him.
"We needed points and we need to be higher in the table. Two wins in a row after a draw has been very good for us."
