I would play the reserves, save the better players for the Cas game. I cant see us beating Saints but if we don't beat Cas either then Mash has to go as that will be 0 from 8 and we will be a minimum of 2 wins behind anybody else and with a much worse points difference with a third of the season gone.

Having plucked up enough courage to watch the Saints game, i'd love to be optimistic......but, wow it was bad. They must have coughed up the ball 7 or 8 times, then we returned the favour mostly! I wouldn't say they won at a canter, more of a trot, they bombed 3, didn't kick all the goals, so it could have been well over 50. We created 2 chances, Lino knocking on, then amazingly near the end, an overlap created!! Senior drops it. Seriously, I just don't know how we are gonna get out of this hole, we are just so inept with the ball. Obviously hoping something just clicks in the next 2, but if we don't at least win 1 of those, I fear we are gonners........

If that comes to pass, one win after 9 games leaves just 18 games to reach 20 points [What i think will be needed this season to stay up]
This will mean winning at around once every other game left, or going on a remakable winning streak of say 7 games in a row plus the odd other win here and there.
I'm usually a glass half full person,but i don't think the current squad have it in them to reach 20 points for the season. The only other thing that might save us,is if one of the other teams fighting it out at the bottom totally implodes, and we do one of our miracle last minute escape of relegation.

It’s all relative.

The reality is you only need to have more points than the lowest. That could be 10/14/16. That’s the unpredictability of sport.

Whoever finishes above us this year could probably do it with <10. How we've played so far I'd doubt they'd need more than 2.

That's wildmoggy you are quoting mate. Far too negative for me.
