Wednesday away, Saturday away

Oxford played at home though, and did not have minus a days rest vs their opponent. The point is not the number of games - it’s a double away with serious travelling. Comparing with Oxford is totally different.

A double away is known to be statistically significant to results in the championship and teams are packed full of sports scientists when they complain about the impact of travelling. It’s fact not opinion.

Might be because they are literally more physically tired. It’s not imaginary. Run around for 90 mins in blackburn, then get home at 2am and run around again in Norwich two days later - impossible not to be impacted.

We need to deal with it and should have had more rotation today.

Fatigue certainly looks like a factor today. Not just a matter of “mentality” after all

Lovely vid.

That original post if obvious bait though. Better ignored than giving it the reaction they wanted

Double away game weeks isn't the point though. It’s when it’s a Wednesday followed by a Saturday, which is 1) significantly worse than Tuesday-Saturday and 2) is entirely avoidable. There’s nothing stopping teams away twice in a row doing Tues-Sat or Sat-Wed if it’s away first.

Norwich away on Saturday after they play at home on a Tuesday hardly seems fair, so asked co-pilot how many times each championship team has a Wed away followed by a Sat away:

QPR: 2
Ipswich: 2
Blackburn: 2
Charlton: 2
Cov: 1
Bristol City: 1
Derby: 1
Hull: 1
Southampton: 1
15 other teams: 0

I haven't checked this manually and we know AI can often be wrong but...This seems a bit much - surely they can produce something more balanced than this given the known drop off for 3 game weeks ending away.

How did Madsen play yesterday?
at 14:25 14 Sep 2025

He was fine. Busier than last season’s Madsen (could hardly be anything else), but still less than he should be. Played an ok pass to Kone which any other player in that position would play - it’s not a difficult pass at all. Not knocking him, it’s a welcome improvement from performances last year

“Trendy”. Appalling comment.

Just because you lack the ability to empathise with tens of thousands of innocent people being bombed out of their homes doesn’t mean everyone who does care do so because it’s trendy.
