Way I look at it two more wins and we can officially call ourselves safe (even though we might be safe already).
After that we have to be ruthless and start giving the game time to players that we know will be with us next season rather than those out of contract in 3 months (Darling, Allen, Naughton) or going back from their loans (Delcroix, O'Brien) or are just stinking up the place with how shit they are (Fulton).
That means in my eyes using the final six or seven games of the season to give some genuine first team time for players coming back from injuries that will be highly influential next season (Ginnelly, Parker, etc) or players who have been banging on the door from the reserves looking to break into the first team (at least those we haven't already sent out on loan).
I love O'Brien I think he has been a breath of fresh air and if a deal for him can be done then we should absolutely explore it if it won't hamstring us going forward with our summer plans. That said however we have to succession plan for a life in the league without him - now if a certain bald headed muppet hadn't frozen Abdulai out from his favoured position and forced him onto the wings that might not have been an issue but that bridge has been crossed and well and truly burned. Now we need to look first at what options we have in house that can step up from the reserves/youth setup and see how they can handle first team championship action.
