The general rule is that three points at St James's Park is what keeps the club in the Premiership.
The tried and tested: "let's get out priorities right and win our home games" seems a thing of the past.
The first-team coach feels the six points dropped against Man City, Stoke and Wigan Athletic have been made easier to take because we picked up two points playing at Chelsea and Boro.
Chris Hughton: "It would be more of a worry if we weren't picking up points away from home.
"I think the fact that we've picked up two very good points away from home (against Middlesbrough and Chelsea) softens the blow a little bit.
"Yes, we realise that we have to start winning games at home. We're certainly capable of picking up points against Portsmouth and Tottenham."
