The week between games did the lads the world of good....

What with injuries, cup runs, fixture congestion and simply having to defend their arses off and chase the ball for a great percentage of fixtures. And there you go, evidence of. Games will come thick and fast again of course, but hopefully we will be better equipped next time.

See Trotters, that is the difference between a rested, focused team and the physically and mentally exhausted side that fell to bits against Charlton. Penny dropped yet?
