West Brom boss Tony Pulis has no problem with a 48 hour turnaround for his players.
After a hectic festive schedule, Albion's players have now got two days off before they return on Thursday to prepare for Saturday's FA Cup clash with Derby County
But Pulis had no concerns about his side playing two games in 48 hours.
"Society's changed, we've got softer," he said after victory over Hull City. "If you tell people they're tired, they'll be tired, you don't have to do too much to convince them.
"We've never said you're going to be tired. Two games in three days playing professional football? For the money they get? Go and ask their grandads who worked 12 hour days down the pit, they never got tired.
"We've prepared, we've done it right, but we've never mentioned to them they're going to be tired.
"I made two changes from the game against Southampton. They weren't tired and the longer the game went on they showed the energy and the courage we possess."
