geordie_b Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) So out of their 25 man squad plus the additional homegrown and youth players they don’t have 13 players plus one goalkeeper? Seems very unlikely given these outbreaks have been going on for 2+ weeks and they should be isolated/recovered by now Edited December 23, 2021 by geordie_b Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyCisse Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Feel like this will be a godsend to Leeds, they’ve got zero chance at the moment without their star players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) I think teams like Walford should not be allowed to play any new players signed in Jan in the postponed games. It is just unfair otherwise. Edited December 23, 2021 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 This is absolutely fucking mad, even by modern money grabbing standards. Take away whatever view you have on Covid, vaccines, lockdown blah blah blah. How is any of this remotely fair? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFCDoog Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Five players out of a 25 man squad is nothing like, I don't understand how clubs are crying and trying to get games called off when it's like that, there's been plenty of examples over the years of teams having 5 injuries and being able to field a side, it doesn't add up. Chelsea and there huge squad had 4 players out last week and tried to get thr game called off ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 It's not just 5 players, though. 5 players plus our long list of injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 2 minutes ago, Neil said: It's not just 5 players, though. 5 players plus our long list of injuries. How many do you have registered who could play for the first team ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Presumably enough to pass whatever the threshold is. But not enough to realistically be competitive enough to win. Hopefully we've got a few players back who were injured. Doesn't change the fact all of this is a total and utter farce, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 If you've got two teams who are similarly afflicted and one is forced to play while the other isn't, then it's definitely unfair. Dunno what the situations are at Leeds and Watford compared to Everton, though. See absolutely nowt wrong with a team being expected to play a couple of non-first-teamers.

Neil Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Neither do I. But that's not the situation here or in other cases. (Again, ignoring the fact any game going ahead at the moment is disgraceful) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFCDoog Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Yeah exactly I think that's the thing, thr unfairness Is that some teams get a game called off whereas others have to play, not that you've got a few players out injured/covid so have to play some reserves, teams have 25 man squads for a reason, games shouldn't be getting called off for a few players being out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Just look at Leeds. The club got a majority of its players vaccinated but suffered a massive injury crisis and could only field nine first teamers during a congested fixture run. Man United have a piss poor vaccination uptake, COVID spreads like wildfire and they get a fortnight off. It doesn't send a good message and the consistency of it doesn't really sit right.

The Prophet Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) Sounds like Burnley v Everton is off. It would mean Burnley have four games in hand on us. Edited December 24, 2021 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
