I'm giving the players the benefit of the doubt with yesterday's game. It's easy for us to sit back and criticise them but we can only imagine how they felt playing in a 38 degrees once-in-a blue-moon heatwave and the after-effects of it. Is it any wonder they were flat and lethargic.
Barrett had said before the game they'd forgotten about last week from Wednesday and moved on, but clearly they had not, mentally and physically. Imho this was an unusual circumstance for which I cut them some slack. They and Barrett had better turn it all around next week though.
