I don't expect pep to do it but I really think we should write this off and play a predominately EDS side.
Chances of us winning with our best available side aren't that great as it is, chances of us winning all 3 remaining games is much slimmer still and chances of getting top 8 even with 3 wins isn't close to being a safe bet either. Best bet is to rest who needs it and whoever needs looking after and get as fit of a team as possible for the derby. Settle for the play offs, it's 2 games post January when we should have a signficantly fitter and beefier squad, the sacrifice is minimal.
