Its definitely tricky for trying to keep the same 11 together, you can't unless you want to lose them all late on in the season. rotation will be risky depending on which players are out. Tough game friday night, but another belter! COYB!

So on the basis of Moore’s comments - Leeds will be f ucked playing us with one day less to recover as they too are at QPR on Tuesday. Without their best striker too!!! Should be a bridge too far for Leeds on Friday then so get ready with the bubbles 🤣🤣🤣

This excuse of being too tired etc just does not wash with me. Call me old fashioned but I do not think the demands put upon on them are particularly onerous. Playing two games a week is reasonable in my view. I might be a bit picky but I also think that they should all be able to cross a ball effectively and none of them should ever take a penalty in a powder puff manner (feel free to add to the list). After all they are supposed to be 'professionals' and bl00dy well paid ones at that.

I agree! Livermore looked knackered after coming back from four games out and still looks knackered now. On 40/50 grand a week they should be as fit as a butchers dog unless they are on the piss or sticking something up their noses..... Let’s see if there’s anything in Moore’s comments - we should come out of the blocks faster than rats up drainpipes and it will be one game too far for Leeds who should be knackered after playing Tuesday and one game LESS than us this week to prepare. Then again........

I think it’s the younger posters who swallow the “tired/rotation” b o l l o x trotted our these days.

In the 70’s we played on awful pitches including the Hawthorns,the season lasted 42 matches and the medical side was medieval compared to now.

We finished 3rd in the top division with most of the first team playing all 42 matches,I think we used a total of 14/15 players all season,most reserves were lucky to get 2/3 games.

Nobody looked or complained of being tired and if you look at the old footage we really moved at speed as a team.

Players are now “tired” because they’re brainwashed into believing they must be.

What about Phillips he's been out even longer & big Dave always says his players gave their all & he's proud of them & can't ask for anymore than that , so do Ipswich player give their all everyweek but their still s**t & bottom of the league , Man City yesterday played a lot of games recently & yes they were not at their best yesterday but they still WON ok be it on pens but they WON thats the difference, i know posters will say we're not a Man City but the home games we cant win are not against teams like Chelsea ether ,

For someone that used to work 3 days without sleep I find the 'tired' attitude a load of bollox.

I've not been on here that much over the last few weeks and haven't read all of the threads.

But who are the bollox swallowing youngsters who've signed up of late and are they female?
