My hope is that with a good summer we can push for top seven at least. But I wouldn’t see mid-table as a massive disaster if it takes us a bit more time to adapt.

Yes that is something that will need to accepted. When you have won 32 games, scored 117 goals in the regular season and only lost once at home, and have a player scoring 40+ goals it’s a bar that is so high it’s a freak event. We are lucky we have been alive to witness this once in the clubs 161 year history season.
So on this basis people should understand that a league higher things will be much different and more like a typical season for most clubs.
To win over 20 games next season would be an achievement. Likewise losing less than 1/4 of our games would be an achievement. That would be enough to see a challenge for the top seven.
