1 or 2 injuries to this XI and we'll struggle, if we can keep the main XI fit for the majority of the season we could be top half, if we finish 12th or above it's been a great improvement and something to build on, maybe if we improve in a couple of positions we could push for europe the following season, which would be good for Bramley Moore.

We were 45 minutes from being relegated to the championship.
I don't intend to move from the "I'll be delighted with 14th" mindset, personally.
Anything at all above that would be an unexpected bonus and I'd rather be happy with it if and when it arrives than convince myself we've got a shot at European competition now and be gutted about finishing solidly mid table.

Honestly, wait until we inevitably have 2 centre backs injured/suspended same time and Keane and Godfrey are back in the starting eleven. Then revisit this thread.

You don’t think we were nearly relegated? Ok mate.

100% mate. As others have pointed out, we're heading into a trickier spell of fixtures. I'm absolutely delighted with where we are after a terrible start but the prize this season is comfortable safety (no more last few matches ring looseners please Everton) and we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves just yet.

This.
It sounds boring, and I take no pleasure in saying it but it's a reality of where we are at - a quiet season is exactly what we need. "Stability" is a dirty word nowadays but we need it at the moment. Avoid a relegation fight, get ourselves on more solid ground, hopefully get to next summer with our finances in slightly less disastrous shape and a bit more wiggle room albeit we're no doubt restricted for a long while. Then look to build from there.
On our realisticbest form, no major injuries and some underperformance from other teams we could maybe sneak 9th/10th but I'll happily take any season that doesn't involve a serious relegation fight and go from there.
I would think we can tolerate that tbh as we’re playing very much based on a system, as in no one reeealy stands out or does anything exceptional.
If Danjuma or Dobin can’t replace the graft and the odd cross from McNeil or Harrison then they should even be in the squad.
I guess defence is the big concern esp C/H but you would hope after spell out of the headlights Keane wood be able to put out in some of the better performances which he’s capable of.
Wishful thinking perhaps

Yes we will and no points deduction, COYB
Yes I am aware of that. In fact I even said we were looking like we might be relegated for a couple of weeks (which is even longer than 45 minutes)
Is that what you actually think I wrote? OK mate.
No chance we qualify for Europe
This is still a survival season right now
If we can make enough distance between us and the relegation zone then we can start looking up the table
To do so before then is folly
