Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer believes the club needs to endeavor for bigger and better things next season.
The Australian veteran has helped the Cottagers finish in the top 10 in two of the past three seasons as well as play off in the 2010 Europa League final and he feels they should push for more next term.
"We've just got to keep backing up what we've been doing over the last few years," he told the club's official website.
"The last three seasons have been - for Fulham Football Club and a lot of us personally - fantastic, possibly the best three years in a lot of our careers.
"We need to continue that run. We believe we belong in the top half of the Premier League and we like to think that we can mix it in Europe every couple of seasons.
"The expectation levels are always higher. When I first came here, the club had just avoided relegation with 15 minutes to spare, so anything above that was a bonus.
"To then finish seventh [and] then have such a great run in Europe [in 2009-2010, when they got to the Europa League Final] and [then] finish eighth last year means the expectations are there.
"We, as players, acknowledge that and we know that we need to live up to them.
"So far it's been a great challenge. If you look at the history of the club and how much has been accomplished, particularly in the last three years - it's been outstanding."
