The 54-year-old has stressed that his troops should not get carried away after extending their English Premier League unbeaten run with a victory over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wesley-c36794 Hoolahan.
Norwich City head coach, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Hughton, was all praise for his side’s performance following the 2-1 win over Wigan Athletic at Carrow Road on Saturday, December 15.
The Irish trainer admitted that his side’s recent performances in the English Premier League undoubtedly are praise worthy, but also stressed that they must not get carried away and continue putting in decent shows to claim good results.
“It is not being negative, but for a club like ourselves, it is about keeping as big as gap as you can between us and down. There is no shame in saying that, it is a reality for clubs like ourselves. But our form at the moment has deserved it. We are a team
which has to work very hard for the points we get, so there will be no getting carried away”, Hughton was quoted as saying to reporters in the post-match press conference.
The Canaries started the game at home aggressively, and managed to grab the lead in the 15th minute through Anthony Pilkington. However, the visiting side restored parity only six minutes after the half-time break through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shaun-Maloney-c33274.
In the 64th minute, Wesley Hoolahan’s strike re-established his side’s one goals advantage that remained intact until the full time whistle to ensure that the hosts claim all three points at the end.
And the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Canaries-c38723 boss was all praise for the 30-year-old midfield ace, who put pen to paper on an extension to his ongoing contract prior to the game, and admitted that the former Blackpool player was impressive throughout the 90 minutes.
“Fortunately for us Wes [Hoolahan] has signed a new deal and he has earned it. He was excellent today and capped off a really good all-round team performance”, Hughton concluded.
Norwich City remains unmoved at the seventh spot in the Premier League standings, but could drop down to eighth if http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 secures even a point in their week-17 game against Reading on Monday, December 17.
