This thread welcomes all opinions.
We had an absolute shocker v Palace and it's not irrelevant as a top class team doesn't drop points like that. The team did enough to beat Luton, yesterday evening in a different competition - whilst I believe that we should try hard in all competitions, that doesn't mean playing the full first team and yesterday was a slightly ugly performance (until the subs came on), but did the job.
So, isn't it time we recognise that aiming to be #1 or 2 this year is unrealistic, but equally be honest that we need to end the season with a team that performs more consistently and wins more than we did last season?
3rd again or 4th (as we pipped Chelsea on GD, so it was very close), with a more consistent performance, win a domestic cup and make it through to the knock out stage of the ECL would strike me as being demonstrable proof of progress - what do others think?
