Shola Ameobi has told Newcastle United fans: We're trying!

The striker was Toon's best player in defeat at Stoke City.

"The fans are frustrated, which is understandable, because when you lose four in a row it is very frustrating.

"It is not for lack of trying, we showed today that we wanted to get something out of this game."
