Newcastle manager Alan Pardew insisted his side's fightback at Swansea is proof that his players are continuing to give everything for him.
The Magpies twice fell behind at Swansea in the Premier League on Saturday but Papiss Cisse equalised on both occasions to provide some welcome relief for the under-pressure Pardew.
The travelling Newcastle supporters still regularly called for the manager's departure while also turning their wrath on owner Mike Ashley -- who was also present at the Liberty Stadium.
However, Pardew said he took huge satisfaction from the 2-2 draw and thanked those who had taken the time to send him messages of support.
"The one thing you have to analyse when you're a football manager is the team giving you everything and I don't think my worst critic would have said they didn't out there,'' Pardew told a news conference.
"They gave me everything and, though I'd like to have seen a bit more confidence and flair in the team, that will come. We're a better team than we're showing at the moment but I have to concentrate on the here and now. I'm not looking too much further forward than I was Swansea and my attention turns to the next game.''
Newcastle's next match after the international break is at home to Leicester on Oct. 18 and Pardew believes the spirit shown at Swansea will ease the pressure on him before then.
"We know that the tension in the stands and in the stadium is not going to go away in the short-term,'' Pardew said. "But what we must focus on is the performance and I think we've got a bit to lean on from this game.
"We'll take the positives out of it so the players can play to the best of their ability. I just have to just focus on the team and improve the team as best I can.
"I don't think I'll ever get a boring fortnight, but what I would say is that I've had lots of messages of support from within the game and I would like to publicly thank people for them.''
