Shola Ameobi insists Newcastle United morale remains strong inside the dressing room.
The Magpies slipped to a fifth successive Barclays Premier League defeat for the first time when they went down 2-1 to Swansea at St James' Park on Saturday.
Asked if everyone was still together within the camp, Ameobi said: "Yes, the dressing room is.
"It's been tough for us, obviously, but one thing that has remained is that spirit to want to work hard for each other and to fight, to keep on fighting despite the adversity that we have faced in the last few games.
"I thought we showed character there. It was always going to be a tough match - the fans, obviously, were expecting better from us and for the large part, I thought we did that.
"But it's just again a failure to put teams away and to stop conceding. Essentially we failed again and we lost another game."
