Cup competitions don't really give any indication of how good you are or how well you're progressing though. I'd love to win a cup, obviously, but if we draw City away in the 3rd round and lose it's no more sign of progress than beating 3 lower league teams, a relegation battler, and then losing to them at Wembley.Again, I don't think anybody would complain at achieving 7th. I certainly wouldn't.
The point I made was that people would be claiming that to be progress. I don't believe that we're good enough to finish 6th as yet, however I feel we're too good to be finishing 8th. 7th is exactly where we should finish, if he gets higher i'll be delighted, if he gets lower then he should rightly get belters. He's had the resources to cement that 'best of the rest' spot.
The real gauge for me will be how close we finish to the top six and how we do in the cup competitions alongside all that.
