having 2 games in 48 hours will be tough and seems typical of the EFL mentality towards Leeds, can't recall anybody else having to do that
Yes, being asked to play on the Thursday evening and then again on the Saturday afternoon does seem quite unfair - generally teams seem to be getting a minimum of two full days between games so we've got a very quick turn-around there. The team we're playing on the Thursday (Barnsley) don't play again until the Sunday afternoon and I'd have thought the same ought to have applied to us...JNW1 said:

Can't remember which player said it. But, one of them said they didn't mind playing games so close together, as it was easier than training.

Possibly so give how hard Bielsa apparently works his players in training! However, matches close together is one thing but two in the space of less than 48 hours is pushing it a bit - it doesn't look like any of the other top four have been put in a similar position so what we're being asked to do doesn't seem very fair or equitable IMO.
It's not like the football league have form when it comes to us though. Shades of 1972

Given the results yesterday I'd have probably settled for a point today so a win's a bonus! Hernandez once again made a huge difference when he came on but I reckon Ayling also deserves a mention for the goal; almost the end of the match on a warm afternoon and he still had the energy to get forward and get a decent cross in.
As others have said, one game at a time so roll-on Barnsley on Thursday!
