I think the team is mentally shattered after a season in which started off at a storming pace. This is different from being mentally weak. It is a young team and many have played many games as we have a small squad.
To finish 8th or 9th will be an immense achievement and we have 2 or 3 wins in us before the end of season.
More importantly, because we are safe, we should be scouting around for new additions for next season and experimenting a little.
