Caretaker Moves To Plan Stage 3

Chris Hughton talking to nufcTV

"When the fixtures came out we looked at the season and broke it down into segments. We set ourselves some targets of where we wanted to be and how many points we wanted to have.

We're on course so far but the most important thing is that we're at the right end of the table come the end of the season. We've got five games coming up now in just three weeks and it could be a crucial part of the season. It's all about maintaining our form and protecting our position at the top of the league. But the only way we'll do that is by continuing to win games and get the points that we need.

We're on the back of the international break and you never quite know how you'll come out of it. But we're hoping we get straight back into the swing of things and that starts by giving a good account of ourselves at Notts Forest on Saturday."

Danny Guthrie To Kick On

"I'd missed the start of the season because of injury but came back in against Crystal Palace. We won the next three games and I scored in two of them. I couldn't have had a better return really and I was on a high going into the international break.

That was a disappointing game (QQPR Home) for me because of the penalty, But it's one of those things and I'm ready to take another when that chance comes around - hopefully as soon as possible. All I want now is to stay fit and stay in the team because I felt fantastic earlier in the season; I was playing well and scoring goals. We've dropped points in the last two matches but we're still top. We have to take advantage of that and kick on during these next five games, starting at Notts Forest on Saturday."

"It would be great to score because all strikers love goals, no matter who it's against, I've got a good record at Forest and, of course, it helps playing somewhere you're so familiar with. I had a great time at Forest and it's a very special place for me. I grew up there and still have a lot of friends and family in Nottingham so it will be divided loyalties for some of them on Saturday.

The lads have been excellent with me, It's an easy group to settle in to and I'm loving it. I just hope I can get a run of games and start scoring some goals. We need to get back to winning ways on Saturday because the two draws were disappointing. But we're still top and in a very good position to kick on from here."
