Roy Hodgson praised his "quite incredible" backroom staff when discussing the fixture congestion of 2020/21 and how he and his team have coped recently without Ray Lewington.
Hodgson was addressing the fact his side played six times in both December and January and was asked to comment on the strain that places on the quality of coaching and preparation.
He explained that, while he has experienced more congested schedules with clubs competing in Europe, his staff have stepped up to the challenge, praising analysts Rob Weaver and Tom Johnson in particular.
