Spot on Jim. It's a ridiculous schedule for this time of year. However, I feel that Farke

has felt the strain as much as the players. When we came back out after the floodlight failure, our players left their brains in the changing room. That felt to me like a failure of the coach to motivate them for one final push. Instead, we thought we could survive the last 8-10 minutes by hacking the ball away. Derby emerged as if they'd been snorting cocaine - in fact I thought they should have been dope-tested. Assuming it wasn't that, well done Lampard.

Then the Brentford game, which seemed like a failure to get to grips with opposition tactics by a coach who has seemed really good in that regard this season. Coupled with fatigued players and the injuries, we were lucky to get the point.
