In a season where half the rest of the PL are playing in Europe, and we've been getting a lot of them after they've played away in Europe midweek, we should be well into that top ten.
It's good that we're finally there, but that'll be the basis for approval for the rest of the season; and every time we fall out of it - and we really shouldn't now from this moment on - criticism should be heaped on this manager.
Top ten is low hanging fruit. The PL is dire. We all know this. And we have a quality first team squad that requires strengthening at CF pretty much only this January now that Garner has made RB his own.
I'd accept top ten after 38 games as a minimum. I've said that from the off. But we really should be targeting top 7 and a likely European place.
