This 'fitness' excuse really, really bugs me. If we had played on Boxing Day like Hartlepool did, the excuse would have been 'tiredness'. Because we didn't play on Boxing Day, the excuse now is that we weren't up to match fitness in the first half but were in the second????

Really? This is not aimed at you specifically MancMagpie because many other posters frequently use it as an excuse for a defeat or poor performance, but surely it has to work one way or the other?
