51... Ke5 52. Rc8 e3 53. Bd3 Kf4 54. Be2
I am looking at the possibility of having a minor piece and pawn versus three connected pawns in the endgame. The Knight might be able to hold the fort just long enough for help to arrive.

 
54... Kg3 55. Rh8
Again? He was here before, probably in better circumstances.

Moving into position to hold the fort.
