I have to admit - I am getting tired of them now.

Nobody will take Dasilva for a fee and I doubt anyone in this league will take Palmer.

Palmer would be amazing in league 1, but he's not quite up to the championships standard. Hopefully we bring in that attacking midfielder we've lacked since Callum got injured
Noah's going to have to build another Ark to deal with the amount of tears you're going to shed when O'Hare and Bidwell leave in the summer

It’s barely good enough to stay in the division. Half the season in relegation battle form, half in automatics form.

We will get rid of Bidwell instead.

Not sure why Allen is not getting a run out, he has hardly played so can’t be tired.

No it isn't. If we bring players in & have a decent pre-season with a squad geared for 4231 and this still happens then it's a REAL issue.

It would be our style to bring in those players then change formation.
I reckon he's probably off in the summer as well. Not sure where he fits in anymore, not good enough to play CM, and behind Palmer and the new no10 for that role.

It is infuriating that he acknowledges the tiredness then does nothing to mitigate. He's clearly ideologically opposed to making changes before the hour, and will avoid them if he can.
It was clear to see some of the players, like Sheaf, Thomas and Lati were struggling with tiredness but are just left to crack on, with one ending up having to go off with an injury.
last game make the point of how thin the squad is and how tired they are by playing a lot of the younger players and point out how absolutely necessary it is in the press conference for the players health and fitness.

I still think the cup run played a massive part, as memorable as it was.

Dabo pulled his groin in that cup game and was kept on because he refused to let an 18 year old go at left back for half an hour.

We just don’t have the quality. On song and fit that team has no Kelly, Lati, Palmer, etc. And there’s still questions about GK, CBs and CM. It’s a half built squad basically. Once you lose two or three players, particularly quality players, we lose the edge.
We need to sign 5/6 first team quality players and another 4/5 who have the potential to reach that. We probably have to spend half as much again as we did last summer, if not more.

Looked full strength to me and a strong bench too.

Remember that, it was shocking. He couldn't even walk.

Yes but they've played with injuries

Not sure that's relevant to my post but Robins has mentioned playing through injuries a few times.
Sounds as though we have an issue with players not prepared to grin and bare mi or knocks, but that's reading between the lines

Anybody else would have put one through somebody carrying an injury to give us an advantage.

MR started to talk about fatigue as far back February, post match v Stoke City. It became our default mindset, the reality is we have played 2 or 3 games more than most other Championship sides.

I agree, we just don’t have the squad to rotate when players aren’t doing it
