We're all fed up of saying 'let's target next year.' Always looking way off into the future when things will hopefully fall right for us.
We have three games left to get 9 points and hopefully secure a European spot.
No more excuses.
It's there for us to try and achieve, but I also think if we don't it's just because we aren't good enough.
We've played the entire season with Jake as an RB, Grealish has missed half the season, we've had Beto and Barry rotating up front, McNeil playing regularly, no Branthwaite for most of the season, and Mykolenko at LB.
I think if we finish in a European spot it's an incredible achievement, but just being in the mix for it has probably been a gross overachievement in itself.
If the other leagues stopped today then the teams from the big 5 leagues in the conference next season would be Freiburg, Celta Vigo, Como and Monaco. They're the toughest teams you're going to play.
Hope we qualify for it, win it and get in the Europa where we'd be one of the favourites as well.

We all know a 45 year old Alvaro Morata will tear Tarkowski a new one and rattle in a hat trick as we slump out to Como…
We have the best set of fixtures compared to the rest of our rivals for European places.
Barring our unfortunate recent post 90mins meltdowns we’d be comfortably in the box seat so if we learn from that no reason why we can’t be targeting 9 pts from the next 3 games.
Take that draw. Interesting our last two games are the same as Chelsea but with the fixtures inversed. Fulham/Bournemouth is a tough one to know what to want. Wolves getting something at Brighton would be nice but very unlikely.
