Why are the players tired?
Maybe we need a new fitness coach?

Because we’ve played about 8 games in a month including two mental 3-3 draws one of which we ended on 9 men?

Many changes last night though. 10 changes in total.

Morgan, Eccles, Bartlett, Wakefield, Wilson, Watson. None of those should have been tired should they?

They tired in the 2nd half. Never heard of match fitness? Almost none of that team have it and certainly not at a first team level.

Yep, match fitness is different. That is probably what Robins is alluding to.

To be fair Baka looked tired in the warm up

This tiredness things pissing me off a bit. Tired against oxford- why? They’ve played same amount of games why can’t we hack it?

Same as all other teams - no different. Some players at Oxford were having to work hard(er) to cover for a couple of those who were off their game.We are at least luckier than some, in that we have a bigger squad, although (as we saw last night) the quality of cover in some areas isn't that strong. Other teams will struggle more than us though, as the season unfolds.
