"I know that a lot of people will look at the defeat against Chelsea and say that we are going to have the same problems as last year but I don't think so.
"We have got some new people in and I think we have improved a lot, and we now have 34 league games to show people that they are wrong.
"Have we underachieved? Maybe you could say that we have in the league, but we have won a few trophies in recent years and winning the Worthington Cup against Manchester United saved us a bit last season.
"But there is no question that we were disappointed with our performances in the league last season. That can't happen again and we know that. We have learnt our lesson."
