These things don't just come out of nowhere though

Must be something in it.

I think it's possibly a combination of the way the fixtures fell, small squad plus new training methods but certainly some of our players have looked fatigued.

Trybull was absolutely out on his feet after Arsenal, it was no surprise to me his form dipped and that he then picked up an injury.

Jerome could basically not move for the second half at scum but had to stay on for 90.

Nelson similar at Arsenal but had to do 120 mins having not been fit enough to start in the lead up.

There are lots of minor injuries being picked up in training.

There is definitely something about this story that fits with our recent form although I doubt there is a "revolt" and some of it is probably just unfortunate due to how the fixtures/injuries fell.
