Eddie Howe has admitted Newcastle United face a huge battle to stay in the Premier League.
The Magpies were thrashed 4-0 by Leicester City on Sunday.
They remain three points from safety, and manager Howe is concerned about their chances of survival.
He told Sky Sports: "We're in a huge fight to stay in this division. I was aware of that when I came in and that won't change, I don't think, throughout the whole season. We're in a huge battle. We'll need to use the pain and feeling from today to help us in our journey this season.
"Every game is an opportunity. We're hugely frustrated by some of our moments in the game. If we'd have shown more composure in the attacking third, we could have made more of the moments. We just let the game slip away from us.
"We know they have quality players and they hurt us when we allowed them space but I don't think we should lose heart from the majority of the game. We just need more of the big moments to go our way."
