Fulham manager Martin Jol says that he will be relieved to reach 40 points in the Premier League this season as he is wary of being dragged into a relegation battle.
The Cottagers currently sit eight points clear of relegation in 11th place but the boss is refusing to take anything for granted until his side have reached the traditional points haul required for top-flight safety.
"Like a lot of other teams, we set a target that we would like to have 40 points," the Dutchman told reporters. "Then we can relax maybe a bit more and, from then on, try to get as high up the table as possible.
"If you see the league over the last five or six years, you will see the same situation. There are three or four clubs down there but, at the end of the year, you always see one or two teams dropping into trouble.
"Wigan, for example, are almost specialists in getting out of trouble, so there will always be one or two clubs to be dragged into it and we don't want to be one of those clubs.
"Our first target was to stay in the league because that's important for the club. If you look at the resources all the clubs in the Premier League get at the end of the year, it's vital for us to stay in the league. And then even 12th or 11th would be fantastic for us."
