Exactly right.Consolidation is bollocks mind, it’s just something people say because they dont think anything higher is acheiveable at the current moment.
Sunderland, whilst in the Championship, should always be playing to get out of it.
It’s easier said than done, but you dont just aim to sit in the middle of the table for a club of our size.
No harm in having high expectations as long as are smart about it.
Pretty sure Norwich, Leicester, Sheffield United, Wolves and even Huddersfield went quickly through the Championship and into the prem after promotion from L1.
