JASON Forster has given a blunt and honest assessment of the Dragons season insisting that the players only have themselves to blame for their current predicament.

The Dragons face Glasgow at Rodney Parade tonight (kick off 7.10pm) needing a victory to keep them in the hunt for Heineken Cup qualification.

Even if they do record a victory it is still likely that Paul Turner's men will have to be involved in a play-off to qualify for Europe's premier club cup tournament.

And Dragons skipper Jason Forster has pulled no punched in his analysis of their current form.

He said: "We are the only ones to blame for the situation we find ourselves in and it is up to us to get ourselves out of it.

"The youngsters had a chance at Llanelli Scarlets and it was up to them to take it.

"You don't get many chances in life and when they do you have to grab it and some did and others didn't.

"We can't play like we did at Llanelli and expect to win, we made too many mistakes and have to sharpen up."

Nathan Brew admits everyone is feeling the pressure at Rodney Parade in an unfamiliar situation.

He said: "It's a strange feeling because it is almost like a relegation battle that we find ourselves in.

"It is a different type of pressure than what we are used to but a professional rugby player has to be used to playing under pressure and we will cope with it.

"We must try and put it to the back of our minds and play our normal game."

Gareth Wyatt has been switched to full-back for the game and Turner is confident that the winger can do a good job in that unfamiliar role.

He said: "It is a bold decision to move Gareth to full-back but I think that gives us another option and is a more attacking solution.

"It has been unfortunate to have Kevin out for the whole season but Gareth's kicking is one of the most consistent behind the scrum and it could be a good move for us.

"It is important to have players who are able to change around positions and this is an example of that."

Despite recent results Turner insists that the mood in the camp is buoyant.

He said: "We are very confident going into this match. We see it as a game we should win, we are at home and have it within ourselves to record a victory.

"We're only two wins off where we felt we should be. We've not been pragmatic enough and there have been times where we have not closed games off as well as we could. We need to make better decisions at key times."
