Agree. Get frustrated a little with the knackered narrative - this is what it’s all about, these are the games you want to be playing in.
its mindset more - they are all “fit”
Well, yeah, there is some truth in that. It's a balance isn't it.
We were clearly leggy at Southampton in that first half and looked jaded and a yard off the pace, but obviously Robins gee'd them up at half time and acknowledged they were tired, but that they couldn't feel sorry for themselves and that they had to drag themselves through and work off adrenaline, as Shmmeee said, and off passion and to just keep going til there is nothing left to give.
They are all clearly tired, but you just have to try and let momentum carry you through.
So, they are knackered, but also, mindset is such a big factor too.
Getting the right balance now is probably going to revolve around when to make subs and when to accept certain players have run themselves into the ground in a game.
That's obviously a problematic part, because of a lack of strength of depth. Could do with Allen back to be honest.
Allen and Torp and even maybe, Tavares, could be key. Binks too.
After that we are scratting around a bit, though I do feel Da Silva can do a job further up the field.
