DWIGHT Gayle says no one at Crystal Palace is getting carried away despite five wins in six matches in all competitions under Alan Pardew.
After Saturday's 1-0 win at Leicester City, Gayle now has Newcastle United in his sights on Wednesday.
And Gayle admitted the game at the King Power had that feeling of a relegation scrap about it at times, even though there was plenty of goalmouth action.
"It was always going to be tough but they gave us a good game," the striker told the Advertiser.
"Luckily we got the win in the end hopefully we can push on from that.
"After the game the gaffer just said to keep our feet on the ground because we're still in the scrap.
"It has given us a bit of confidence and belief, and hopefully in the next few games we can get away from the bottom three and push on.
"There are a lot of games we need to win still, plus there are real hard games at the end so we need to get these points as quick as we can really to make sure we're not fighting for it at the end.
"It was a proper good battle from us and Leicester. You could tell it was a fight at the bottom but I felt both teams had bright spells where they did well and could have got the result.
"Luckily we scored and were on top and also kept the clean sheet, which was good for the defence."
