Target
Kristiansund should aim for another top half finish, but they must keep fighting hard against complacency. Expectations need to be managed at the club, but with Michelsen in charge no one will be given the chance of thinking ahead of themselves. The club looks grounded and honest and as long as they know what to expect and how to deal with disappointments along the way, there shouldn't be a massive downturn in performances this year. Although another fifth place finish is surely a stretch too far.
Prediction: 8th
