idiotic - so many injuries waiting to happen.
Injuries are one part of it, the other is just drab matches with tired players. The clubs won't care, they get to milk the fanbase as more people are on holiday and willing to see games. In theory top sides can rotate with the second team playing every other game, but in practice, just like this season, it didn't really happen. Perhaps when punters pay full price to see reserve teams play a top flight game, the league might get the hint that the scheduling needs work.
