Newcastle will now head for West Ham desperate for a win having taken just a point from their past three games and Pardew told the Chronicle: "Yes. We have had a really, really poor month in terms of results. Now we have to stick together and get through it.But we have got one point from three league games, and that's not good enough for this football club.Despite concerted calls for his head over the weekend, Pardew remains in post and is facing the biggest challenge of his tenure to date with a trip to relegated QPR and Arsenal's visit to St James' to come after the game at Upton Park and only five points separating the Magpies from renowned battlers Wigan, who have a game in hand.He added: "As I've said before, words don't win games. They are not important any more.Now we are in a dogfight - and we have got to fight. We have got enough character and belief in that dressing room to get through it. We have got to show that now.The performance we put in was unacceptable. It wasn't good enough for us. We are aware of that and we need to put it right.He said: "Even after (Europa League quarter-final exit against) Benfica, a few of the players perhaps thought after that game, we would be all right.
