Re: Playing wed / sat, is it a disadvantage?
To evaluate a defeat to find the reason is different to offering an excuse for it, (as if it’s beyond your own control and exonerates the players from what was an awful display)
We lost because we had an off day, the players seemed lethargic in body and mind and we were outplayed on the day by a quicker, more motivated team. Fair enough, shit happens, you can’t win every game, they’re human. Leave it a that, own it and work on it for the next game.
They were tired because they played Wednesday is an excuse and an effort to shift the blame. Plenty of teams play Wednesday (and that in itself gives more recovery time from the previous Saturday) We aren’t unique playing Wednesday occasionally.
It’s done and gone, let’s see a reaction on Saturday and it’ll soon be forgotten. KRO
