Norwich City manager Chris Hughton has insisted that he will not be getting carried away by his side's recent upturn in results.

The Canaries are currently on a run of nine Premier League encounters without defeat, which in turn has moved them away from relegation trouble.

However, Hughton has insisted that his players still have a lot of work to do before their safety in the top flight is guaranteed.

"We certainly won't lose sight of what the realities are," he said. "We assess every game and that is the only way to do it. We are still in a group of teams where it is still all about staying in this division.

"We are not about setting targets, we just want to try and be the best we can and try to improve game after game. We are still very new in this division. We had a wonderful season back up for the first time last season, but it always changes because it is a massive test for us.

"I'm proud of the players, irrespective of any run we are on, because they put in a tough shift every game. Fortunately for us we showed enough resilience to see it through again and they deserve every credit going."

Hughton's team are 12th in the Premier League table after 16 matches.
