"I do accept that our home form is going to be better than our away form and when you're playing home games against teams not in the top six, then in theory and in practice there are more chances of getting results than against the top six.
"It's a period we're going through at the moment that gives us a chance to pick up points but you have to be able to go and do it."
Looking ahead to today's game with Burnley, Hughton said: "I expect a hard-fought game. The fact we are at home, you hope to take advantage of that.
