The trick now is to kick on in that "difficult second season". Quite what kicking on is defined as will vary to different people I suppose. For me, I'd be delighted if we could move up to mid-table, be safe with a few more games to spare and have a good showing in a cup.
A significant issue is that next season - on top of improving anyway - we have to replace the 6 points we got from a truely woeful Swansea. I hope Cardiff will be as poor.
Absolutely exceptional stuff from the lads - 15th exceeds all reasonable expectations. All of us would've taken 17th on goal difference back in August. CH is a legend already. Bit of strengthening, adapting our approach away from home a bit and another season of making sure we stay up to follow. Happy days.
