Doherty keen to push higher
Wolves defender Matt Doherty accepts the challenge for his side next term will be to try and improve on a superb first season back in the Premier League.
The men from Molineux finished in seventh place in the table on their return to the top-flight, while they also made it through to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
I guess we have to try to match it and then better it.

However, Doherty says there will be no resting on their laurels, with head coach Nuno Espirito Santo also starting to plan for a Europa League campaign.
He told the Express & Star: "I guess we have to try to match it and then better it. That will probably be the aim for everybody in pre-season.
"As players we all live to each other's standards. As a team we just seem to click, whatever we do. The training we do, the preparation we do - a lot of credit has to go to the management and the staff.
"But, whatever the reason is, we just seem to know each other's games - everyone knows exactly what the other wants to do. It just works for us.
"It could be different if we change to a different formation, but the way we play right now, it suits us down to a tee."
Wolves can be backed at 4/9 to finish in the top half of the Premier League table next season while the Midlanders are 6/1 to finish in the top six.
The last time that Wolves secured a top-six spot came back in the 1970/71 season, when they ended in fourth place.
