While Newcastle are not in the bottom three, they are edging dangerously close to the relegation places with recent results.

"I think half the league is in a relegation battle," said Bruce post-game.

"We've been stuck, unfortunately, on 19 points for a while.

"We always knew this was the most difficult part of the season for us in terms of fixtures. We'll keep plugging away. I'm sure it'll turn."

Asked about his future, Bruce added: "I've been in it a long, long time.

"When you're in the bottom half of the table, the reason why you're there is some part of the season you're going to have a difficult spell.

"It's how you deal with it. I'm not going to shy away from it, so yes, 100% [I am the right man for the job]."
