Agree about Hughes looking jaded, Butcher can’t seem to shake off his knock (although he wanted to continue and knows his body enough) and Bishop has been slightly behind the pace lately.

Yesterday with the conditions making it even harder for anyone who was remotely tired I thought that Baxter pulled a great save off and came off his line 2 or 3 times to stop a run on goal, defence not a worry coping quite well Hughes made one bad pass, midfield just weren't at it yesterday a better side would have really took advantage Phillips just kept running into players, Butcher looked leggy from the start as did Seamus although he scored a cracker even his biggest fans could see he was struggling yesterday and was the one who was beaten front post to the ball for their goal, Smyth tweaked his hamstring reducing our threat up front, Charles always looks sharp and willing but defenders doubled up on him and forced him wide a lot as for Bishop doesn't seem to relish the system to me without the overlapping wingbacks gets dragged out wide to often and was generally ineffective.
