We look tired. Mistakes are happening because of fatigue. It's been a brilliant season. It'll be a shame if we tail off now, but looking at some of the games we've got coming up, I think we'll do well to finish fifth. Although winning the Conference league would be amazing. Onwards and upwards hopefully. UTV

I'm still not having the fatigue argument. Konsa and Torres have hardly played because of injury in the last few weeks. Digne and Moreno have been rotated a fair bit. Cash has had a fair amount of time out of the team. The only players who haven't had much of a break are Luiz, McGinn and Watkins, and none of them look remotely tired, especially Watkins with his 5 goals in 4 league games.

IIRC when we won the Premiership we only used 13 players of whom 8 were ever present. Seems dream like when you write it down like that.
