While that's a great point MS. I can't help but feel circumstances play a big part in it also. 'Boro for instance when it comes to them playing B'burn without a break, could have absolutely no injuries whatsoever. So being tired at that point in time has little effect on them.
On the reverse, they could have had injuries to key players prior to playing us that had plenty of time to get fit. There are definitely benefits to gain.

Regarding CC's comments I couldn't agree more. It's almost as if he'd built the players up with a kind of "it's ok if you lose today" mentality. the players shouldn't go into the game with anything other than 100% positive mental attitude
