Hull City defender James Chester is confident they'll avoid "second season syndrome".
Chester has total faith in manager Steve Bruce.
"People go on about second- season syndrome in the Premier League, but the gaffer will make sure we don't suffer from that," said Chester.
"That's what he's paid for, and he has done really well in the last two transfer windows.
"He signed players who kept us up, and what we have achieved has to act as a springboard. There can be no going backwards, but there won't be.
"The gaffer won't allow it."
