Yes and Robins has been consistently saying the players have been suffering from fatigue.
The squad isn't big enough.

The squad isn't big enough.
To be fair , Robins plays Latibeaudiere for the LOLS so anything is possible
probably more so than you do, unless you’re also involved in the game at this level?
Then how can you seriously think that we didn’t put a mammoth effort in on Sunday above and beyond what any other team would have in a normal game?
Honestly is you’re involved in the game then I have to question either your intelligence or seriousness. This is basic stuff. The margins in elite sport are tiny.
We've used 3 players less than Leicester Southampton and West brom , this season
Granted its low compared to most and I agree that the squad needs to be bigger , but there's been games where we've kept players on too long , not used the bench well etc
Robins is talking about having to play the kids. We just ran out of steam and that’s partly down to a small squad. Godden and Kelly are only on the pitch cos we had half the squad out today.
Nah you’re right Evo. Robins has lost it and the players just can’t be arsed. Tiredness isn’t a thing
Lati has only been starting because of injuries. We’ve mostly played the best team that’s available to us this season.
MVE is not a winger and next season I doubt will ever play there if we recruit well. Likewise, with CM - should never play there again if we being in 1-2 players.
No no smarty pants , what you're doing is blaming our entire collapse this back end on tiredness .. it's just not the case .Nah you’re right Evo. Robins has lost it and the players just can’t be arsed. Tiredness isn’t a thing
Is that the full stat? I have seen their benches and they have had much better players to bring on as subs than we have.
Have you included substitutions etc? How many subs? And when?
And I get your point, but in many games our bench has looked very weak hasn't it.
I’m not sure I said we didn’t
the fatigue isn’t down to playing two games in four days, and it’s probably (hopefully) not physical unless there are injuries…
they were mentally not there against Blues, and then again today - more emotionally drained I would imagine, but that can be worked on and they should be able to focus with four games to go and knowing that winning all four could possibly mean another shot at the play-offs
Latibeaudiere has started 34 games and played 46 times .. it's not just because of injuries at all
Exactly. For example, Sakamoto in the lead up to his injury, played more less 90m every game when we switched to 4-2-3-1. His performances started to tail off in the 2-3 games prior to his injury.
Since we switched from 4-2-3-1, his reintroduction to the team was when Sheaf got injured, then Torp gets injured and finally Sakamoto. In 2024, his involvement is mostly because our best XI was not available.
This just isn't true , he's played when everybody is fit .. Robins likes him , bizarrely
Thought that was an outstanding effort from an absolutely knackered group of lads.
Need more depth obviously and Latabadieure needs to be just used as a CB, all the positions he played this season is actually now affecting him i think.
People moaning about the defence, for understandable reasons, need to realise they were all bought to develop so they will all get better, and id sign Binks if we can.
Season is now over and id play as many kids as possible and give the senior players an extended break as we do not want any injuries that go into pre-season

Robins said Torp was injured but no mention of Tavares. Anyone know what the injury is. Hopefully not an Achilles issue again. On Sunday it looked like he had ice on his ankle.
Sure , but robins has still played him , he's started every single cup game and played In 95% of our league matches
Agree to an extent, but we need to finish as high as possible and end the season on a high. One for potential signings, and one for season ticket sales. I think we can still finish bottom half. 8th looks a lot better.
Think Tavares is out for the season now, but hopefully its only a 3 week thing. Id be tempted to keep Tavares think there is a player there.
Don’t think wr can finish lower than 12th can we? Sunderland can’t catch us with two games left 7 pts behind.
Yes i see your point, i am just a bit worried about picking up a serious injury to one of the marquee players due to fatigue, and Wright probably the guy im most worried about as he will probably play Copa America. But i do see where you are coming from as well.
Is there stats for minutes? I’m sure there is but feel like giving you something to do.
Sure it is , that's why you stopped at that and never continued to explain why ..
Is 12th bottom half? Would have been on teletext I reckon.
Not done the maths and games to be played either to be fair.
Was looking at minutes played by players in the PL and IIRC if you put our squad in there they’d take 7 out of the top 10 places. You can’t compare this point in a Champ season with the same in the PL.
