Toon 'Are Creative' Insists Hughton!

Chris Hughton: ""I don't see it that way at all. We've got a good blend of players in the midfield areas.

"If you look at the last couple of games, even though we didn't win them, we did create chances.

"And in last Saturday's type of game, if one goal goes in, there's every likelihood it will lead to one or two more.

"We have Alan Smith playing in a very responsible role, who has done so well for us, but then we also have Kevin Nolan, who breaks from the middle and scores goals.

"Danny Guthrie is a player who can make himself a fair bit of time on the ball and gets into good positions.

"There's Geremi, who hasn't been used so much recently, but uses the ball well and provides a quality delivery.

"No one needs me to explain Nicky Butt's quality and experience, and there's Jonas (Gutierrez), our only genuine sort of wide player, but a very creative one.

"So I would certainly argue we have creative players.

"What we have to accept is that there are good teams in this division who can make it hard for those players to show their quality in every game.

"That's the challenge we have to face."
