"50 points is our aim. We have now crept into the 40s and our destiny is in our own hands," he said.
"Hopefully we can soon put ourselves into a position where we are safe from relegation and if we do that we can look at some of our younger players in the first team for next season.
"We had a massive game against Leicester in midweek. That took a lot out of the players and we have also had a lot of illness in the club.
"However, the young lads have come into the side and done well and we are going to reap the benefit of them over the next few years."
