When you have plenty of points on the board and are sitting comfortably in the league by all means do it. Right now we need to get points on the board or we end up creating trouble for ourselves. Following United for years and the saying we are too good to go down is pish. We have seen in the not so distant past that we have brought our own struggles to the fore and been rightfully relegated because the belief was we'll sort it soon mantra.
