Results and performances in 2010 have been a lot better than they were in 2009, but most have so far been in cup competitions and Bryan Redpath is keen to ensure that the improvement is carried over into the bread and butter of the Premiership.
Glaws may be seven points clear of bottom club Leeds, but the Yorkshire side have shown sign of improving lately and the gap above second-bottom Worcester is a mere two points.

Fortunately, the margins above Glaws are almost as tight and a couple of good results could see Glaws jump to sixth if other results go their way.
So beating Quins on Saturday is vital not only for the points at stake, but also to ensure that the recent improvement continues.
But the Quins side that arrives at Kingsholm will be a different proposition to last weekend, when they were taken by total surprise by Gloucester’s stunning fightback.
But Glaws will be different, too – well though a scratch team played last weekend, with Rory Lawson released from Scotland duty and the likes of a rejuvenated Akapusi Qera, Dave Attwood, Nick Wood, Paul Doran-Jones, Gareth Delve, Greg Somerville, Olly Morgan, Nicky Robinson and Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu likely to be back after a rest last weekend, Redpath is calling on his senior players to respond to the Stoop performance.

Redpath told the Citizen: "It was hugely important that players stood up and put pressure on me to select and pressure on the group itself.

"Now the boys to come back into that starting team next weekend have to grow from that. They have to back up this performance."
