'Resting Time' between games

[Liaminho9]

Just come across this, we have the shortest amount of rest in between games for the rest of the season... Have our players been holding back because they know this??

The players wouldn't have been holding back, but one would think that Wilder would have recognised that game in hand + FA Cup = need to rotate

You know what to do

Wilder is aware of this...he mentioned in a recent interview that other clubs appear to be having an extra days rest whenever we play them.
As you’ll see that the main reason is that teams that are still in the FA cup have less rest and also there were 4 clubs that needed to play an extra fixture.

So I would expect us, Man City and Arsenal to have shorter rest time compared to other clubs.

No different to the clubs that have played in the Europa cup all season.

I'm not buying this an excuse at all. We were just piss poor!

I have it on good authority they're making up for their previous two performances tomorrow evening.

3 away fixtures in a row as well, with the prospect of another fixture thrown in the mix (although us and Arsenal are clearly the worse 2 sides to emerge from lockdown, so who knows)

Yes, holding summat back is the reason our players have been passing the ball out of play or straight to the opposition.
