is Stubbs Right

[Lago]

Stubbs being reported as stating his players are not tired, is he right or are there signs that the legs of some are getting a bit heavy?

[Ozyhibby]

I think they look no more tired than the teams we are playing. It's quality that will get us through.

Thought we looked as bright as we've been in months in the first half, a bit jaded in the second half but to be expected.

Nothing wrong with the players legs.Thats why they train.

Thats fair enough, however I noticed a few posters mentioning Fyvie, Henderson & McGinn as blowing out there posteriors in some recent games, not all at the same time I hasten to add, but Stubbs making the point today that they are not tired. So nice to know he is right

I didn't think we looked that tired yesterday

[Pete]

I think everyone is getting leggy to an extent. It's been known for a determined and positive mindset to cancel out the fatigue and pull players through. We can do it.

[Onion]

Amazing what a goal can do .

[Bostonhibby]

**** it, I'm going to start believing the guy, or at least understanding his motives.

[J-C]

There will be no training in between games, massages and recouperation will be the key.

He couldn't say the opposite, could he?

Imagine being in his shoes and being asked the question - how would you respond?

[Golden Bear]

He's hardly going to issue a public statement saying that his playing squad are totally knackered just before we play a vital series of fixtures.

I just hope they get a happy ending.

They'll need to he careful around McGregor and his big tackle.

Certain players form has dipped and there are bound to be questions about tiredness.

We've played and won games with intensity when chasing goals and second place. We still had enough to see off the division's form team over two legs in the play-offs.

It isn't that the schedule isn't challenging. It is but we are fit and professional - we aren't going to be too tired to see off Falkirk either. So Stubbs is right.

A drumstick lollipop on the way out?

[Ronniekirk]

Cummings was clearly showing signs very early stretching calfs and socks down to ankles and he was spent by time he was subbed
Henderson and Mcginn put so much into a game they will need to be watched and game time limited if we can
Dylan will also need his game time managed so we dont overstretch him to quickly
Think after the two Falkirk games we will have better idea if we get through and then three Massive Games to end the season
We defo don't want extra time in cup final although Logan v their keeper in penalties would be a no brainer ,but It would be which of our players left on pitch were fot enough to take a pen

since I first started going to easter road in 1974 supporters have always said that certain players are blowing out there ass. And that's all season long! so I wouldn't put to much faith in there observations.

Cummings wears his socks like that to look cool. No other reason.

[hibbydog]

I think we are tired and eventually it'll be our undoing.

I know there's an argument to say they're for young laddies and professional sportsmen, but they're up against teams who are equally young and fit, but are well rested.

It's that half yard of pace in the last 10 minutes which could make the difference.

And I think the effect of so many high pressure high intensity games might affect how mentally sharp they are on the ball.

Whatever the outcome of the playoffs: cup final you can bet your ar5e it'll be a small margin here or there that will define the outcome.

Never seen that one cumming ;)

I don't think we're tired. I just think we aren't particularly fit

Sake. We're not the only team been playing all season. If we're knackered then Falkirk and Killie are knackered also.

51 games so far and the players aren't fit?? I assume by the standards you set you have 0% body fat?

I think we look fitter than we have in a long time.

I think suggesting that the team aren't fit after 51 games, including games against higher opposition and a game that has gone to extra time, is very harsh. Tired, maybe, unfit - absolutely wrong.

[gaz1875]

I think the players look fine, we have hardly been over run by any of the opposition, a few players back after injury lay off's and we have been resting quite a few players, half matches and earlyish substitutions. There will be a couple of players with niggling injuries, but they are looking better than I thought they would be

I don't think we are anymore tired than we looked 5-10 games into the season.

[Unseen work]

I don't think they look overly tired.

Except Mcginn who looks drained physically and mentally

I think mentally is as big a problem as physically we struggled yesterday when a goal for Raith would have resulted in ET what would it have been like if a goal would have knocked us out.
