MANAGER QUOTES

Chris Hughton: "Yes, it's a good feeling at this moment we are a small roll and confidence is high enough Yes, we have games in hand, and, even if they are at home, you have to win we have to come from Leeds, who are some 'self-shape ... and then in Brighton, who have had a good start. Of course, you want to keep running, but it is very difficult to do. I'd say it's a case to us without fear of none at this time. Perhaps it is not the right word. What we do is prepare as best as possible for any team in this league and in Europe. "

Simon Grayson: "We were a little gung-ho over the past few months, probably because the staff we had in the team, but we are now much stronger Without disrespect to Max Gradel, but when he and Robert .. Snodgrass was the team so that we wants to play with two out-and-out wingers. "
