Nigel Pearson: "I believe we have a squad which is capable of making the transition.
"We are not going to dominate like we did last season - that goes without saying - but there is an air of confidence among the players that they believe they have the ability to perform. I fully agree.
"I have been asked if staying up is just enough, and that has to be the bottom line.
"I think, more importantly, the players have a belief and the staff have a belief in the players that they are capable.
"A top-10 finish would be huge, but we have to make sure our first goal is to establish ourselves in the Premier League."
