No, that's you saying what (you think) others are expecting

Would you be content with us scrambling to 4th bottom this season, after a season spent in or close to the bottom 3?

Not sure what my expectations / aspirations were at the start of the season - I think a bit higher than that. I think I'd probably take it now, though not sure that makes a strong case for Hughton.
