Eddie Howe still believes Newcastle can avoid relegation despite a "damaging" draw with Watford which exposed his side's "psychological" weakness.
The Magpies have dropped 21 points from winning positions this season, and let in Joao Pedro's 88th-minute header after Allan Saint-Maximin's opener.
The 1-1 draw left Newcastle 19th in the Premier League, with only one win.
"We've damaged ourselves to a point, but you always have an opportunity to bounce back," the Newcastle boss said.
"I think it's psychological. There was a thought to protect what we had so early in the game and we lost our attacking threat in the match, but that should never be the case with so long to go.
