How much better can Dundee get?
Steven Pressley will be using the international break to look back on the season so far - and he can rightly be satisfied.
His Dundee side have gone well during the early knockings of the Premiership campaign, occupying fourth place with 10 points from seven games.
That is pretty decent - even more so considering the context.
After Dundee's 2-1 home win over Motherwell last weekend, Pressley described the season so far as "solid... considering there's been a lot of transition in the group, all the injuries and upheaval".
He is right - it has been another busy summer at Dens Park with a raft of key players departing and a host of new faces arriving.
That combination isn't always conducive to a positive start, but Pressley has got a decent tune out of his new-look group.
He has also had to deal with an eye-watering injury list that has forced him to heavily shuffle his pack and find a way of making do and mending to accommodate the absence of players like Simon Murray and Ashley Hay.
When you factor all that in, it further highlights what a good job Pressley has done.
But it does also beg a question that will tantalise Dark Blues fans - how much better can this team get once the new-look squad has fully gelled and the injury list has eased?
Football is very much about the here and now, but Dundee's trajectory could be an upward one over the coming weeks and months.
