Substitutes

Maybe some of you who are good with stats can get to the bottom of why Notts fade.

I don't have any stats but I've often seen fitness levels related to top team performances in the later stages of matches. I remember Gordon Strachan being one of those fitness fanatics that managed to keep playing years longer than many of their contemporaries. When he was managing Southampton he put that on the players. For example he often took them to where he could have them running uphill on sand. Extreme it may have been, but so were the added-time performances.
