Ian Murray says Hibernian have had to revise their goals for this season after a turbulent opening few months of the campaign.
After five points from seven games at the start of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League campaign, Hibs parted company with manager John Hughes. His successor, Colin Calderwood, has now been in charge of eight games, but, despite wins over Rangers and Motherwell, has been unable to develop consistency.
"After the start we've had and after the changes we've made I would think getting into the top six now would be a success," said midfielder Murray.
"If you'd asked me that at the start of the season, it wouldn't have been a success.
"I think with changing managers so early in the season, with the boys out of contract, losing our top scorer from last year, I think most fans and ourselves would probably take top six at the moment."
Sixteen of Hibs' first-team squad are out of contract at the end of the season and Calderwood has already said he expects to have a busy transfer window next month.
Murray is certain Calderwood will seek to recruit attacking reinforcements.
"There's no doubt we need to add to our strikeforce in January," said Murray.
"The manager's said that, strikers - even at the club - have said that. There was one game there we had to bring on a defender up front so it shows the depth up front isn't there at the moment.
"He will bring players in, there's no doubt about that. But it's more important we go for quality rather than quantity."
