SUPERTOON Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 The league are saying the new rule of a 7 day isolation should mean most games are played midweek. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) Surely this just sets a precedent going forward? 4 or 5 players out injured? "Sorry m8 can't put out a team", but you have a 25 man squad and 18 players out on loan, "I SAID..." Edited December 24, 2021 by TBG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 How likely is this season going to be extended? With the WC coming, I feel it is unlikely that there is much room to push back much, if any. Any fixture congestion for the other teams would then be helpful for our survival.

Scoot Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Everton game called off due to "further injuries to the squad" Convenient considering they were wanting it called off yesterday... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I don’t get how injuries count towards the postponement. It’s ridiculous. Faking injuries to force postponements. Shouldn’t be postponing anything unless there are 10+ senior players struck with Covid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Our game with them is 6 days away so you would expect some of those who already had it before today to be back by then, especially if they are double jabbed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillingtonMag Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Need to come out and say exactly how many are out with covid and agree to a number of first teamers missing to get a game postponed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 We need to send half our team to a Covid party tbh. Just to see us through the transfer window Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Linton Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Dyche is going to be unbearable when they have to start catching these fixtures up. Absolutely no way the season should be extended to accommodate it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAK Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Are the tests self reported or verified by independent parties? What’s to stop us saying 10 first teamers have it and then take off two weeks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Did wonder that, surely there's some form of independent governance. Be hilarious (but given how mad everything is, wouldn't be shocked) if some have genuinely been purely on a self reporting basis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be really annoyed if they extend the season, they should already be doing a freeze on squads and suspensions for teams/games effected Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
