I'm all in favour of raising the expectation levels but sadly its unrealistic this season. For all our good players and exciting play here we sit in 10th place.
Good chance for Europa League. 8-6th a good possibility.

Won 12 games all season which we're only three off equalling now. The days when we'd draw nearly half our games under JG.Our most recent 9th finish in 2011 was with just 48 points. 12 wins, 12 draws.We're doing well but it dosen't feel like that looking at the table. Shows how inflated the league currently is with points totals given how bad Sheffield have been and the lack of home and away points difference you usually get for most teams.A point at Southampton and we're still on course for a 60 point season. Good enough for top 6 in two of the MON years but might only be good enough for 9th this year unless a few teams above us go on significant winless runs.

Spurs finished 4th with 13 defeats in 18/19.Draws kill hopes to finish that far up the league as much as defeats do sometimes.

My point is we just lose games we shouldn't.
