"We have got nine games left until the end of the season so it is a case of looking at those nine games and assessing the players in that period and starting to make decisions about squad changes or reinforcements in the summer," said the head coach.

"We definitely want to keep trying our best until the end of the season.

"We are in a comfortable position - we are in no danger of going down, that has gone now, but we certainly want to get as high as we can in the league table.

"In spite of the fact that maybe points don't have the same meaning as they did earlier in the season we are all professionals and we will be looking for any signs of people not trying.

"We want to do our best all the way through - both the management and the players."
