Reading some Sean Dyche comments about Burnley's sluggish performance at Palace yesterday. He cited a 7-hr journey down from Burnley the Friday night before as a significant factor.
Got me thinking that our lads must've had a similar experience going the other way plus with the added inconvenience of a 12:30 kick off.
Feels like a pretty wet and feeble excuse, particularly given we've been sluggish and not "at it" for weeks BUT..... it's conceivable that the travel and logistics knocked 5% off our edge and proved to be a deciding factor.
You could argue its swings and roundabouts and things even out over the season but for a one-off 6-pointer against Rovers it feels like we got the mucky end of the stick. Sky Sports is indeed ####!
