Brentford boss Thomas Frank is delighted to be in contention for Europe.
The Bees meet Aston Villa on Saturday.
Frank said, "The aim for us has never been to just survive. We always want to aim as high as possible. But from Brentford, with the second lowest budget, to stay in the league is an unbelievable success. To be close to even finishing in the top 10? It shouldn't be possible. To be on a European hunt? That's remarkable.
"We are not on a European hunt but we want to end as high as possible, so we badly want to win tomorrow against Villa.
"If we end there, I'll take it. It is not possible to end there and say 'no thank you, the squad is not big enough, could we please wait a season'."
On facing former Bees striker Ollie Watkins, Frank also said: "He is doing fantastically. When you spend time with people, you form a relationship with them. He works very hard as a player and a person. It doesn't surprise me that he scores a lot of goals. We need to do our very best to close him down."
