Hughton - We need quick wins

ewcastle caretaker manager Chris Hughton believes that a short run of form can propel them to safety. The Magpies currently occupy 13th place in the Premier League, only four points above the relegation zone but could be considered fortunate not be in deeper trouble after a poor string of recent results.Hughton knows that his side cannot afford to put their fate in the hands of other teams."We have to look after ourselves and that means putting runs together which can change the complexion of things very quickly," he said."We're more than capable of doing that and Everton, at home, is a chance to add to our tally."We can't rely on other teams. We've been lucky in that when we only took one point from 12 we only dropped one place."And then a draw against West Ham even took us up a few places. But that won't good fortune won't last and, as we did at West Brom, we have to get the points which will take us to safety."StabilityThe former Republic of Ireland international will have the benefit of being assisted by first-team coach Colin Calderwood.He says Calderwood's management experience will be vital in the upcoming games."It's good to have Colin alongside me," Hughton added."The timing of him coming here was good as he came in just a couple of weeks before Joe had problems."He is a very experienced coach and we can use all of his experience in the next couple of games. He has managed at a good level and it has been important to have him around."We wanted some stability and we didn't want to change things too much. Colin being here has allowed us to do that."
