Chris Hughton: Not contemplating relegation

Chris Hughton: Not contemplating relegation

The Canaries have won two of the last 12 games in all competitions, suffering embarrassing losses to Liverpool and non-League Luton before the momentum was turned slightly with successive draws against Tottenham and QPR.

Norwich, who play Fulham on Saturday, sit 14th, seven points clear of Wigan, who occupy the final relegation place.

"There has been no talk of relegation but you have to fight every single game," Hughton said.

"There isn't one game we go into that we don't think is going to be a tough game.

"Even though we are not picking up three points we are off the back of two decent draws, but I know you have to get wins in this division.

"The value of a gap to us and the bottom three is very important.

"We still have to go to Arsenal away and the two Manchester clubs and they are going to be tough. But we have to look at it that we can get points out of every game.

"We now have a fixture period to the end of the season with no cup games and we need to make sure our consistency levels are good enough to get the points we need."

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.

afa has to be favourite for the Everton job now, surely :) He'll realise his ambition to live and work on Merseyside again, get the best out of whoever plays for them, maybe win some cups and be thoroughly loathed by the toffee fans. What's not to like? Go ead, Ken, gimajob!
