Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson spoke today in his weekly press conference ahead of his side's trip north to face Newcastle United.
With the Eagles flying just one place and, even more importantly, one point ahead of the Magpies, the clash is being billed as a crucial fixture between two sides sitting at the lower end of the Premier League's mid-table.
But Hodgson was keen to state that neither he nor his squad have been lulled into any false sense of security, remarking that they must be 'fighting and battling' to earn the points they need to push their way up the table further.
