It didn’t work taking about it after the semi final….TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 9:08 pmIt's most likely propaganda. Evatt is no mug and he's very likely based it on some truth in fairness. Mental tiredness can affect just as much as physical. He's doing a grand job with the fates against him. No complaints from me to what he does.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 8:28 pmEvatt talking about how tired we are after Sunday. I get it. But it’s like the semi final again. Stop talking about tiredness. We played Sunday Friday. It’s hardly unheard of.
Getting a bit sick of it. You would think we are the only team to have won a cup and then have to compete the top end of the league.
Yes we all get it. It takes a mental and physical toll. But talking about it constantly isn’t helping.

Getting a bit sick of it? First time we've won a cup and played a league game for 34 years. Evatt is hardly saying it every season.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 9:22 pmIt didn’t work taking about it after the semi final….TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 9:08 pmIt's most likely propaganda.

Man Utd won the Carabao Cup, played in the FA Cup and then got thumped 7 nil off Liverpool.
If you're picking fault with Evatt after Sunday and a win today then you seriously need help. Really.

Shall we go through the list of teams who have had more demanding fixture lists and coped? I just don’t think constantly saying that players are tired helps. These are professional football players. When Allardyce and Megson were saying we couldn’t cope with the Saturday - Thursday - Sunday European schedule without significant changes people went utterly bananas about it. We are talking about a game Sunday then one Friday.DJBlu wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 10:42 pmGetting a bit sick of it? First time we've won a cup and played a league game for 34 years.

I know we’ve got another Monday but that’s the same for everyone.
I’m not picking fault perhaps it’s just being a bit fed up with all this tired footballer talk in general. I mean I absolutely get it but we’ve not played an outlandish fixture list. When we played Liverpool and lost at Wembley we went away to Swindon three days later and won….I’m sure we were dead on our feet but Rioch probably didn’t keep telling them that….

I doubt Evatt's spending every waking hour telling his players that it's alright because they're tired. He was asked a question in a post-match interview. Any answer to an interview question tends to be composed of soundbites. This was just another one. It doesn't mean sh*t.
Maybe stop taking what's said in post- and pre-match pressers as gospel?

A cup and a win at a team that's not lost in 5 at home?
If that's not coping then we're all screwed.

Re: Will it be Heaven in Devon for the Magnificent eleven? Away to Exeter, 3-0'clock Good Friday
You know the point I’m making. Post semi final we had this whole ‘tired’ schtick. We had an awful run (we aren’t unbeaten in 5 at home btw). And now the same thing is coming out.DJBlu wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 7:53 amAre we not coping?BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 11:01 pmShall we go through the list of teams who have had more demanding fixture lists and coped?DJBlu wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 10:42 pmGetting a bit sick of it?

Shouldn’t we be on a massive high after winning the cup riding the adrenaline wave? Not talking about being tired and needing the home crowd to lift us?
We should be desperate for the games to come round right now. The injuries are more an issue I will accept that.

That looked like being this season's one-line review at one point.

I think yesterday's job was get three points. Bonus that we managed a clean sheet. I might have taken a different view had he rolled out "tired" after a 2-0 to them..truewhite15 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 11:53 pmI doubt Evatt's spending every waking hour telling his players that it's alright because they're tired.

The bit about supporters lifting the team. Yes please. We'll take any/every advantage at this stage.

That’s a game we normally drop points in, so it’s a fantastic win. First half, we were the better side, even though they actually created more chances in the first than they did in their dominant second.
Williams looked shaky in defence but lively when he got the opportunity to go forward. Johnston, Jones and Mbete all strong and they’ll need to be the same tomorrow
