The 10 day period is slightly artificial. NORMAL routine would be 5 games in 9 days: Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday (ie. Mid-week), Saturday, Sunday... but that’s basically the same as the 14 day routine, arbitrarily shaved to make it seem more intense.
Yes, it’s a pain, but the bottom line is that if you play in Europe your schedule increases from 3 games per week to 4 games per week (for some part of the season) ... and you just have to manage it. I think we‘re all expecting the team sheets tonight (against Dundee) and on Sunday (against Coventry) to reflect the current workload.
