Brady 'baffled' by Vale's hectic fixtures schedule
""Unfortunately, we've had no help from the EFL, which has been really frustrating. We've written some emails to them and asked if they could help us.""
""As you can see, the group has already been breaking. But it is what it is.""
""The EFL acknowledged Vale's 'challenging fixture schedule' and the difficulties experienced because of the condition of the playing surface and postponements.""
""The League has therefore confirmed revised dates for the affected fixtures after consultation with the relevant parties.""
Port Vale's manager Jon Brady expressed confusion over a fixture schedule that requires the team to play 12 matches in 43 days. This situation arises from their FA Cup run, including a match against Chelsea. The English Football League denied Vale's request to extend the season, citing the need for simultaneous final fixtures. Brady highlighted the strain on players, noting recent injuries and the lack of support from the EFL. The EFL acknowledged the challenging schedule but maintained that the season's end date could not be changed.
