Great as it’s been these long hard fought games just suck the life out of us physically but more importantly mentally. Taking nothing away from Sheff Utd they were better on the ball and off it,
 
I doubt it helps (especially extra time last week). Yet I wouldn't change it for the world.

We were leggy on sat against a good side. I think tonight was a game to far. We have 4-5 running on empty.

Hopefully a bit of a rest up over then next day or so prior to Saturday.

That’s the problem there’s no time to rest.
 
Complete nonsense comment.

Win or lose, that match is still getting played.

They're not going to be less tired if Chelsea beat them.
 
Were you at Old Trafford or the Riverside for the Spurs game? Not a dig if you weren't but I find it highly unlikely you would come out with such a statement if you were.

Really???

Remember the great 97/98 season?

All those long hard fought games in the league cup on the way to the final…..

Really took it out of us.

We got promoted by the way

It depends whether you’re naive enough to think we can pick and choose when we get promoted. I’d love us to beat Chelsea but in the final with a goal straight from the kick off not ruining our chance of the playoffs waiting to be d*cked by Man City or Liverpool.

Nothing to do with naivety.

You're talking utter ***** if you think we were well beaten tonight because we beat Spurs a week ago.

Or that we were well beaten because the players were thinking about a match that is 12 days away and has 2 other games before it.

We were well beaten because they were better side on the night and the players didn't turn up.

It happens.

Look at the squad we had then to now. With just 2 or 3 injuries the lads are already running themselves into the ground.

I think I said they looked physically and mentally shattered, you’re making sh*t up.

So you think it's because we played Spurs a week ago then, yes?

Half an hour's extra football is not why we lost.

We play in the Championship, there are regularly two games a week.

If Spurs had knocked us out, would our players have suddenly been physically and mentally rejuvenated?

Before tonight we'd played fewer matches than almost every other side in the Championship.
