After such a knackering schedule and two long away trips, we came back from 2 goals down in that Derby match and won 4-3 with an injury time penalty.

Just saying, that's all.

Always a bit galling when, having spent a week travelling to and from Birmingham and spending 8 hours in work to see wealthy young athletes claim they are jaded having played two football games in 3 days - against opponents who have done the same!

Are footballers now the most out of touch sportsmen in the world?
