Three games a week

[Stud mark of doom]

This “three games a week” phrase is getting ubiquitous. I think I even heard one of the players suggesting we have been playing three games every week. No wonder we are struggling in the second half. 

I think the club would be well advised to employ a maths/days of the week expert to come in and explain that playing on Saturday, Tuesday and then Saturday is not three games a week - as you don’t have two of the same days in a week. 

As Sir Clive Woodward would tell us, these marginal mental gains could be the difference between success and failure.

(Although, iirc, when we finished second in 83/84 didn’t we finish the season playing on Saturday Tuesday and Thursday, winning all three - and with only one sub.)

Please highlight all false claims of playing theee games in a week here.

Good point. There are only 7 days in a week still and we play 2 games in 7 days. Imagine the extra mental fatigue you must face if someone is telling you that you have played 3 games in 7 days. Poor lambs.
