Football players are fit, but it's a fitness shaped around playing football at a certain pace for 90 minutes.

When you're being told to work at 100% for half an hour, it'll tire the fittest of footballers out.

To put another way - take a 10,000 meter runner and tell them to sprint for the first 2,000 meters... How well do you reckon they would perform the next 8,000?

The way you put it, you make it look like it's the manager's fault.

All footballers SHOULD be able to cope with playing 90 minutes of football, like you said; they are taken to a certain level of fitness where they can last playing for 90 minutes (or more) of continued strenuous exercise.

Under BL I thought it was. The amount of times we went all out for the first 20-30 minutes and then looked exhausted was a joke.

the writing was on the wall after that match,1st half great performance showed what the players could do it if they wanted to.

2nd half this performance is the one they gave for much of the season.

That, and a poor performance the week after away at Peterborough were 4 points lost which set the standard for the season.
