We haven't achieved our aim yet so we've not peaked, no. Even then, I don't think we've peaked. It's one thing to stay in the Premier League more than one season, it's another to become established. There's a lot more work to be done and I think we can do it.

Keeping the defence together will be crucial along with Gray and SD because the squad is his and his alone.

We also need to keep big Tom between the sticks!

No but we will when Sean decides we have ( or decides that another club offers him more!) Its a couple of seasons away but it will happen.

At the moment we are fluctuating between the new Stoke and the old Bournemouth. The fact that some pundits and neutrals hate us is testament to our progression. The fact that some clubs (even Prem!) aspire to be us is our ultimate downfall. We need to evovle and quickly to survive.

Still very much on the upward ascent - I would have thought the next objective has to be taking points from 4 successive away games. Still feels a bit vulnerable that we are so reliant on our form at TM.

No. We have been excellent this season but there is still lots of room for improvement.
Keeping hold of our key players is essential, but just improving the team with a couple of additions each window would make us a serious premier league team.

Had we lost to Chelsea then it might have been possible to say we have peaked
and our incredible home form had been broken. If we subsequently went on to lose our
next three or four away games then, arguably, even more so.

But we didn't lose to Chelsea. In fact. we put in a performance that had all singing our praises.
That must surely give us a great deal of confidence going into those next 4 games.

The first two against Hull and Swansea will be crucial and if we can manage to not lose both of them
then we'll have done more than a good job. A couple of draws would suffice. One win would do
more than nicely as that would break the away duck and surely put us within touching distance
of what we require to ensure we stay up.

However they will be very tough games as Hull and Swansea are playing extremely well
and will be desperate to beat us.

I'm not saying we will because we could still lose them both especially if we're short in midfield.

We have to keep adding quality players to the squad.
