Brentford head coach Thomas Frank feels the club must always demand more as they look to continue to hold their own in the "brutal" Premier League.
Although the Bees lost at Everton last weekend, previous victories over Sheffield United and Luton, coupled with results elsewhere, secured the club's Premier League status ahead of the final three matches.
A fourth consecutive season in the top flight is some achievement for Brentford, now settled in at the Gtech Community Stadium after 116 years at Griffin Park which were mostly spent battling for survival lower down the pyramid.
Frank, though, insists no-one at the west London club should be resting on their laurels.
"It is fantastic that the expectations are rising, I think that is always an indicator that you have done something very good," Frank told a press conference ahead of Saturday's game at Fulham.
"We have made some fantastic results, I think, (but) we always want more.
"We want to be an asset to the Premier League, we want to develop, we want to do better, but this league is brutal.
"It is the best league in the world, and last year we had the lowest budget but finished ninth, which shouldn't be possible.
"This year we are still in the low (end of the overall budgets) and if you are not in the top seven, then you are fighting with everybody else for something between eight, nine and 17.
"In a top season, you manage that, then in a not so good season, maybe because you are hit by injuries, then maybe you just do the minimum - and the minimum is to stay in the league.
"I hate that (saying) 'ah, you survived', that is so negative.
"The minimum criteria is to stay in the league, then hopefully you can develop the football and sometimes you can have a top season.
"So we did the minimum, (now) we want to do a little bit more for the next three games - starting with a fantastic derby against Fulham."
The Cottagers have also kept themselves clear of being dragged into the survival battle.
"I think they have had a good season, a stable season, in many ways, after saying goodbye to (Aleksandar) Mitrovic, because he was such an important player for them, he scored so many goals," said Frank.
"I like the way they play, it is always a very good game against them.
"It is a derby, it means a lot for the fans, and it means a lot for us as well. We are really looking forward to it."
