Why are our players or any players come to that not capable of playing 3 games in 7 days unless they are injured ? Tennis players play 5 sets 2 or 3 times a week and their fitness is far superior to footballers. If their fit get them on the pitch.:rolleyes:

The players are capable of playing every day but not to their full potential.

A few days break is known to top up energy levels by a small percentage.
And it's that small percentage that can turn draws into wins.

Fitness wise there is no reason why they can't play 3 games in 7 days. We're probably one of the fittest teams in this division as well.

But if we don't have have to play the same attacking players, we don't have to.

I'm not entirely sure that they will gain that much energy from not playing 3 games in 7 days, however it reduces chances of injury if they don't play

concentration levels.. football is a multidimensional team game. you don't just have to bash a ball back
 
They are capable of,playing 3 games.....but perhaps not all 3 games to the levels needed.

Freeman has hardly missed a game all season.
As for the tennis comparison....totally different kind of fitness. Yes they can play for 3 hours....but it's shorter spells of running with regular breaks of a minute or so.
Plus without the contact involved.....totally different

I feel,for you Bladesthorpe, now go and wash your face in the toilet bowl.
 
I'm sure if Wilder had picked them they would have played. Slightly disappointed not to win tonight but being able to make those changes and still put out a competitive side is the kind of strength you need to last a season at the top. It's the kind of strength most teams don't have.

Poor analogy.

In a tennis tournament each player plays an opponent who has also previously played a game. Two players playing in a final might be at 80% of the fitness levels they had at the start of the tournament, but all is equal because they are both at 80%.

In football you have the ability to sub players in who are fresher. So whilst the majority of your team might be at 80% having played a few days earlier, those who are subbed in are at 100%.
 
Four well-dressed men sitting together at a vacation resort. "Farewell
to Thee" being played in the background on Hawaiian guitar.

Michael Palin: Ahh.. Very passable, this, very passable.
Graham Chapman: Nothing like a good glass of Chateau de Chassilier wine,
ay Gessiah?
Terry Gilliam: You're right there Obediah.
Eric Idle: Who'd a thought thirty years ago we'd all be sittin'
here drinking Chateau de Chassilier wine?
MP: Aye. In them days, we'd a' been glad to have the price of a cup
o' tea.
GC: A cup ' COLD tea.
EI: Without milk or sugar.
TG: OR tea!
MP: In a filthy, cracked cup.
EI: We never used to have a cup. We used to have to drink out of a
rolled up newspaper.
GC: The best WE could manage was to suck on a piece of damp cloth.
TG: But you know, we were happy in those days, though we were poor.
MP: Aye. BECAUSE we were poor. My old Dad used to say to me, "Money
doesn't buy you happiness."
EI: 'E was right. I was happier then and I had NOTHIN'. We used to
live in this tiiiny old house, with greaaaaat big holes in the roof.
GC: House? You were lucky to have a HOUSE! We used to live in one
room, all hundred and twenty-six of us, no furniture. Half the
floor was missing; we were all huddled together in one corner for
fear of FALLING!
TG: You were lucky to have a ROOM! *We* used to have to live in a
corridor!
MP: Ohhhh we used to DREAM of livin' in a corridor! Woulda' been a
palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish
tip. We got woken up every morning by having a load of rotting
fish dumped all over us! House!? Hmph.
EI: Well when I say "house" it was only a hole in the ground covered
by a piece of tarpolin, but it was a house to US.
GC: We were evicted from *our* hole in the ground; we had to go and
live in a lake!
TG: You were lucky to have a LAKE! There were a hundred and sixty
of us living in a small shoebox in the middle of the road.
MP: Cardboard box?
TG: Aye.
MP: You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in
a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o'clock in the
morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down
mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home,
out Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!
GC: Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at three o'clock in
the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to
work at the mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad
would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we
were LUCKY!
TG: Well we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of the shoebox
at twelve o'clock at night, and LICK the road clean with our tongues.
We had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four
hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when we
got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife.
EI: Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night,
half an hour before I went to bed, (pause for laughter), eat a lump
of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill
owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home,
our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves
singing "Hallelujah."
MP: But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't
believe ya'.
ALL: Nope, nope..
 
Tennis players potentially play 5 sets.. no guarantee.. and then it's only in the four majors...

If CW felt a rest was needed then do it tonight... have a full squad to choose from in the bigger game Saturday
 



Some fans think that because footballers get paid so much, they should be able to 'run around' continously. They are human and some are not that young. Sharp is 31. Even the world's best players get rested, it's perfectly normal.
