Don't get it this tiredness job ,let em try climbing the Alps and other mountain ranges on a bike eight hours a day for three weeks in 40 degrees or freezing weather with only two rest days in-between or even carrying the hod to a couple of bricklayers on bonus for five days a week then they would really know what it is to truly knackered .

Completely agree, not buying it either. They should be able to cope with it these days. Not confident with this one though, need Fletcher back asap but not sure just him being in the team would be enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
DaveGas 10 #5 Posted December 31, 2019 12 hours ago, cmonkes said: I've always found it a bit bizarre. Anyone who has ever played Sunday League Football, will be able to relate to the end of season catch up games. All of those games that were missed due to waterlogged pitches, suddenly have to be played. Before you know it, you've got Bradway on a Sunday, Crookes Punchbowl on a Tuesday and Colley Club on a Thursday.....all in the same week, This isn't the same I hear you say? You can't compare The Meadowhall Sunday League with professional football......To an extent you are correct. But we managed it and we were far from the conditioned athletes that these guys are. Let's not forget that professional teams have bulkier squads of decent players also. Spot on, plus we also did a 40 hour week (at least) at work in between the matches lol.

bassett one 451 #6 Posted December 31, 2019 but has anyone studied swfc over the last 2/3 years ,if so i would be intrested if my logic is true ,that we always are tired the 2nd game in a week,i hope we beat hull though we need a win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
redbig 10 #7 Posted December 31, 2019 Lot of negativity around Wednesday at the moment. We're 6th, and doing well with what we have. Missing that cutting edge especially when Fletcher is out but that's where we are, replacing him costs money that we don't have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

bassett one 451 #9 Posted December 31, 2019 we could off load a few players and buy a top forward,but we tried that with rhodes and it didnt work,i suggest we buy young players,what do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Hopman 46 #10 Posted December 31, 2019 At one time over Easter teams played three games on (perm any 3 from 4) Good Friday Saturday Easter Monday Tuesday (and with smaller squads and muddy pitches). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

One perm would be Good Friday (afternoon), Easter Monday (afternoon) and Tuesday (evening) (some home, some away) and that would be when Bob Lord, Alan Hardacre and their Football League pals were running the show. Made me think, did the Owls or the Blades ever play a Good Friday game at home back then ? (obviously not against each other).
