Don't let's forget Adkins' idea of impact players rather than substitutes...the best players will all get game time. Bet Nigel will rue that 5 subs rule even more now.

Some of the players seem to play every game if fit and available.
Davis, Fonte, Hooiveldt, Lallana and Lambert to mention a few.
Apart from the odd cup game all of them have played if fit and not under suspension.
Players like Lallana could, I feel, benefit from a rest at times to re-ignite the hunger and determination.

It's a brave manager who rests his best players and risks losing a match. I'm sure Adkins would love to get a lot of early goals and let others have a run out, but we're rarely ( if ever) in that position. Losing just one game could cost us the title, losing two could cost us promotion. Footballers are physically fitter these days, but sometimes there is mental tiredness.
