What represents success next season?

Forever the pessimist (watching them since 1958 does this to you) but even I would say we have arrived with a mid table finish and a couple of good cup runs.
More than that and my glass would be three quarters full.

Bare minimum - stay up relatively comfortably and put in some decent performances in Europe.

Expected - mid to upper half of league table and latter rounds of Europa League.

Hopeful - Top eight Premier league and a proper go at a trophy.
 
Herein lies the problem with expectations
People think the following season will automatically be an upgrade on the previous one. Like success is on a linear upward trajectory
Unfortunately historical statistics will tell a different story
 
40 points will be priority again. Sooner the better then we can focus on the rest.

Survival and knockouts would be a success. Top half and winning the thing would be incredible. I reckon we might do that too.
 
I predict....a top 6 finish but lose both derby games. They lord it over us until the final league table and we are in Europe again. Actually I feel sick thinking of losing to them so fuck that vision. Two derby wins and a top ten finish with a cup semi-final sounds better.
 
With the extra games in Europe , I would say success would be to build a stronger squad , stay in Premier (17th upwards), enjoy the cup competitions and try and have a feel good factor around the place.

End of season build again an even stronger squad to really try and kick on with a cup competition.
