Everton target further progress
Everton boss David Moyes has challenged his players to drag themselves up the Barclays Premier League table after seeing them bounce back from their FA Cup exit at Newcastle.
Moyes got the perfect response from his team in the wake of their midweek cup defeat by npower Championship Reading to win 2-1 at St James' Park and ease themselves into the top 10.
Assistant manager Steve Round revealed after the game that the Scot has set his players only one target for the remainder of the season.
He said: "The manager has said to the team that the only goal for us now is to win the next game and let's see where that takes us.
"It's a strange league. Last season, we got 61 points and that got us eighth - I think if you get 61 points this season, you will be in the top six, maybe even the top five, we will see.
"The goal really is just to win the next game and see where it goes. There will be a lot fewer points needed to finish higher up the league this year."
