Andy Carroll has been quoted in this evenings Chronicle talking of the options Chris Hughton has upfront and how different each of his strike partners are on the pitch. Carroll who is looking for pitch time tomorrow has taken the opportunities he has been given this season, to prove he is more than capable of firing Newcastle back into the Premier League.

Carroll told the Evening Chronicle;

"It's changing all the time. You just have to get on with it. We've got so many different options in Shola once he's fit, Nile and Peter Lovenkrands, plus now we've got Marlon Harewood.

Every one of them is different to play with. We just have to practice it in training and see who works best with each other.

We just have to keep working on it. It's not daunting, but you know you just have to keep putting in the performances or it could change game by game.

I think in the games I've played this season I've done all right. I've scored four goals for club and country, and I just need to keep it up.

I've got no targets in terms of goals. The only target I've got is that when I play, I play well."

He added:

"Every game now we have to try to go in and win, especially after not winning the last two home games.

We must go into it and try to make sure we are still on an unbeaten run after the 90 minutes at the City Ground.

It sounds obvious, but we just have to go there, do our best and score some goals. A few of the lads do check on the other teams, but I don't.

We have a meeting here before every game and we go through their strengths and weaknesses.

That's enough for me, that's where I take my information from, and I'll be looking to put it to good use tomorrow night."

On his England success he said;

"Goals are very important for me for Newcastle and England. I came off the bench last month for England and I just wanted to get a start and show them what I can do - I think I achieved that.

The game was all over the place - it was level at 2-2, then 3-3, but to get the two goals was brilliant for me. I thought I did OK, and to get the man-of-the-match award was brilliant.

To score against Macedonia was important for me. I hadn't scored in the last couple of games for Newcastle, and it's a great feeling to score for your country

Scoring goals is important for any striker."
