PAUL Anderson admits it will take him time to acclimatise to Championship football, but insists: "I'm feeling fit."

The winger has made a big impact with Forest, since returning from a troublesome thigh injury.

But the on-loan Liverpool man says there is still more to come from him, once he regains full match sharpness and gets used to the step-up in class, having spent much of last season playing in League One while on loan with Swansea.

"Everything's fine now [with the injury]," he said.

"Obviously with three games in seven days, I started to tire a little bit, but there were no problems.

"I am surprised how fit I feel considering the amount of games I've missed.

"I was pushing it a little in my first few games back, because it was a new team and a new league and I wasn't sure how much time I would have on the ball.

"It's obviously a better standard, but I feel I'm doing OK and have given a few full-backs a run for their money.

"I don't think I have been anywhere near what I can do yet. I'm playing at about 85 to 90 per cent at the minute, but it is going to take a little more time to get used to the Championship."

And Anderson believes the standard of football Forest are producing will soon see them climbing the table.

"We have been playing some good stuff all season, but been losing by the odd goal," he said.

"We have never been outplayed, we just haven't had that little bit of luck.

"We've had a lot of injuries which has been difficult for the team, but we are slowly getting there. We've had a good week with the win at Palace and the point at Derby.

"Everyone is confident and hopefully we will pull away from relegation."
