PL clubs are always going on about fixture congestion. They always play their 2nd string in early League Cup & FA Cup Matches.They ensured FA Cup replays were discontinued due to what they claimed was fixture congestion.They prioritise the PL & the big PL Clubs concentrate on the European competitions.

When I first started watching Notts they had 11 players & 1 sub only in a game. Pitches became very poor & bare during the winter, & the tackles used to fly in too. Players became injured but not to the extent that we see today. There could be many reasons for this. The game is faster now, players do more running around, & they are required to employ the high press, which requires more energy which together, puts strain on ankles, knees, muscles & ligaments. The game is a squad game now where more players are used in a game. Medical monitoring has advanced where injuries can be detected much earlier, whereas in the past players would pla…

They should also be able to help …

The Carabao Cup (League Cup) used to be a Cup competition that was worth winning, but many teams now, especially in the early rounds, field weakened teams such as squad players or B team players. Is it time that the Carabao Cup format was changed? For example, those teams that qualify for Europe could be excluded & clubs from the National League could be included. By excluding those clubs playing in Europe, the competition would be equalled out somewhat, & including National league sides would give much needed revenue to those clubs in that league. Interest in the competition has waned so much that even supporters don't care much if their team…
