The point is that the new 'rules' automatically disadvantage every one for the smaller clubs. If the big clubs lose players the next one simply steps in. Their bench members are as strong as our first team players so it doesn't affect them much. Our bench strength just isn't there yet.

I love the hypocrisy of football.

The other day Jurgen Klopp was saying that the games should continue possibly because his squad were all vaccinated or "I'm all right Jach". Now he's changed his tune as the "pool" have a few out.

Meanwhile Spurs refused to travel for a European game and demanded it be rescheduled however they have not cut us any slack.

One more point

In my opinion the game should go ahead. We have a squad of 25 decent players and some promising youngsters. We’ll be able to field a competitive team. If we had 8 standard injuries, the game would go ahead with no questions. It’s a challenge for all teams which makes it a bit more exciting. It also gives clubs the opportunity to get a competitive edge by implementing and following covid protocols. The league will become a total mess if we don’t plough on with the fixtures, you could have some teams playing 4 games in May and others playing 9.

I do think however that the FA need to put some clear rules in place around covid postponements - ie, x amount of players from the 25 man squad merit a postponement.

1 change from our last game.

Still, not sure why pushing so hard for a postponement

This new variant is so contagious there is not a lot you can do. Some friends of mine met up for a lunchtime Christmas pint and within 3 days every single one had tested positive.

I think you would literally have to go into hibernation to completely avoid it.
