The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 If I'm not mistaken the U18's have struggled significantly this season against their peers. Its going to be very very difficult for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnero Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Wassall, Cashin & Minkley all injured so we're short of centre backs. Not ideal when physicality is the area we expect Chorley to dominate in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no more complicated than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (hick) Saunders Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Wonder about the practice/training games this week. Have we had enough for 11v11? Or bringing in the U17s to practice against. Ideally we would have invited some local non league players in (eg Ilkeston or Mickleover) to give a bit of test on what it will be like but clearly not possible due to Covid security.

Ravabeerbelly Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Same can be said for Sheff Wed though. These clubs are putting in highly stringent protocols and yet a non league side has zero cases ?♂️ I’m not suggesting a conspiracy as such I’m just pointing out it’s quite strange. Are the protocols a waste of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the protocols a waste of time? The DCFC infections were caught on the playing field where no amount of protocols will stop close contact. Where one of the SWFC players got it from is anybody's guess. Football players are at work like anyone else, so have the same risks as anyone else at work. Got to fill the car with petrol, got to shop etc etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravabeerbelly Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Which is exactly my point! How does an outbreak happen at a pro club but not a non league one? They all live normal lives but it’s not arbitrary that pro clubs players aren’t as exposed as the non league ones in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no more complicated than that. I've already chastised my Sheffield Wednesday mate for doing his best to screw our season even more. Jokes aside, no matter how careful, luck plays a part. Sure, if you never leave your house you'll more or less be safe but soon as you step out the door, you're in the lap of the Gods. Fill your car up from the same pump used by a carrier just before you. Walk passed someone who happened to cough or sneeze just moments before...it could be any number of ways. How many of us know how we caught a cold even if we were sure we've been nowhere near someone with a cold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put reserves out in fa Trophy and lost but this give them 2 Free weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Sheffield Wednesday) and it spread whereas none of the Chorley had it so they could have been getting up close and personal in the changing room and they still wouldn’t spread it. Their life away from football might put non league players at higher risk but that doesn’t guarantee they’ll catch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
