I don’t get this as an excuse. I suppose the question is what would they have done different for a Saturday game? It’s still the best part of 4 hours for an earlier KO. If the answer is come up the day before, then why not do that in midweek?

I do however think that the EFL needs to think about midweek games (see thread about VAR). Maybe the league looks at a North/South divide? I remember Notts playing down South on the Saturday and then Gateshead on the Tuesday. That can’t and shouldn’t be right for any team.
