I would be surprised (and delighted) if we get into the playoffs.
It isn't impossible, especially if the younger players really start to shine, but we seem like an average mid table side this season.

If we finish 8th again and by the end of the season have established 4 or 5 (or more) young players as capable at this level then I'll consider that a big success.
