Moyes still worried about the drop

David Moyes claims he's still worried about beating the drop - despite Everton's mini revival.

The Blues have climbed into the top half of the table following their back-to-back wins over Wolves and Bolton, but Moyes is still looking down.

He wants to pass the 40-point safety mark as soon as possible before he will aim any higher.

"We need to get to 40 points, like every other team, and see where we can go from there," said the Everton manager.

"I've said many times we are going to have a tough season. It's going to be hard for us, but I'm hoping the experience we've got, the players we've got, will come through and show their quality."

Moyes claims scoring goals remains his biggest concern and he hopes to sign another striker in January.

"I think we've got the core of a good team, good defenders, very good goalkeepers, good midfielders, and up and coming young midfielders, as well, but we have known we're just a little bit short up front," he said.

"That's why I'm still a little bit unsure exactly how it's going to be for us, but I think it will be tough."
