Alan Pardew urges Newcastle United fans to stick with his side following their 2-0 loss at Southampton.

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has revealed his annoyance at his side's defeat to Southampton.

The Magpies lost 2-0 at St Mary's on Sunday after goals either side of half time from Adam Lallana and Gaston Ramirez.

The Toon Army have failed to recreate the good form they showed last season, and the former Saints boss has admitted that he is worried by his side's form.

"Personally, coming back to my old club I wanted to see a little bit more verve on the pitch than I saw today. I was very disappointed," said Pardew.

"We are really struggling for confidence. We got beat by the better side. They picked us off too many times on the break. Tim had to make a couple of good saves just to make it two.

"Our fans have travelled all the way down here, they had high expectations of this team for this year and quite rightly. We are going to need them now, we have really got a situation where we are low on confidence, we haven't had a win, we keep conceding the first goal, the stats are starting to not look good in a number of areas."

Newcastle travel to Stoke City on Wednesday in their next Premier League match.
