Physiologically if we’re 6 points behind again it’s not going to be good for the team. I don’t know enough about the situation but is it both sets of player or just one team? If it’s just them then we could be playing sooner. I don´t think the logic of the physio´s will be psychologically affected.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's correct then I don't see how Rotherham had much choice other than to cancel due to the remainder of the squad having to isolate. They would expect the EFL to look very closely at the timings but then it's the EFL so that's anybody's guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodypecker Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Teams like Sunderland and Burton have played with weakened teams, whilst Posh are cancelling a rash of games. There is going to be some news engineering, late cancellations and cunning deceit going on with the Covid factor; there will be clubs taking advantage if there are no sanctions for any late, late, 'positive test' announcements. I know safety is paramount but my cynicism just gets the better of me.... Expect much more of the same..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine there has to be some involvement in the process by the EFL and test results submitted to them. Can’t just make up false positive tests ...

We're in unprecedented times and our club has had a match called off. It's disappointing but come on Rams, I'm sure RUFC have acted appropriately and in doing so have possibly prevented Covid-19 spreading to and then among our players.

Maybe there should be, but it doesn't sound like there is, else the statement would have mentioned it & it wouldn't be subject to an investigation "The Club has therefore informed the EFL it is unable to fulfil this afternoon’s fixture and the circumstances surrounding the postponement will now be the subject of an investigation in accordance with EFL Regulations."

ziggyram59 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Typical EFL if it had been the other way round and we postponed it at Pride Park they would be looking to do us for such a late postponement. PARASITES. Spoilt my Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
