I've heard they go into the changing rooms in their bubbles (don't think they actually go into the changing rooms at the minute, at pride park I believe we use the Pedigree suite and away teams use McFalrand's Bar (more space so can socially distance, may even be wearing masks inside) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have isolated the team and asked to postbone, like Shrewsbury, as we couldn't fulfil the tie. It's hard to fathom It seems so inconsistent. Perhaps if you have a couple of negative tests you can be released earlier - who knows! As Angie says we have played it and its out if the way which is good this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Hughes Hair Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Wouldn’t our players have travelled together for Sheffield Weds by coach? Hence all have to isolate? I also think getting the game done and dusted was strategically important for us. We’ve already had one game postponed. Any more could cause us all sorts of problems with fixture congestion and points per game if the season is ended early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are paying their part-time ex-pro footballers up to £350 per week they are hardly Alfreton Town! I wonder how many of ours who played are on even half that ?

A full strength U23 side, not those part of the first team like Whittaker and Sibley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 52 minutes ago, RamNut said: Agreed? I don’t understand it at all. How can a club be missing so many players and yet be made to play? Out of all first team, U23, U18 (and some U16 players) we went into that game with only 19 players. 76 players named in matchday squads this season reduced to just 19!

They all stayed in a hotel on New Year's Eve if one thread on here is to be believed. That might allow for more speculation as to why they all had to isolate...

MuespachRam Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 6 hours ago, Ken Tram said: I am still upset about the decision to play the game. Maybe I shouldn't get so pent up!) Does anyone know if we had to play the game? I seem to remember some mention of "negotiation". (I heard José M yesterday saying something about the integrity of football standards. He said what I had been saying about the FA Cup, but far more effectively than me!) I wonder if we compromised too readily? My latest conspiracy theory is that the manager and first team may have been relatively willing for the match to go ahead without them considering that they hadn't been paid. The one and only reason It was played was because the TV company demanded It and the FA are spineless and dare not say no.... If we had been playing Millwall and It was a nothing game then It would have just been postponed and no one would have even noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't being billed as plucky underdogs. Quite the opposite, actually. One of our players yesterday was a first year scholar - don't think they are paid, are they?
