Players wise it's 13 players now and it has to be 12 apparently and obviously we only declared 9 earlier this morning. I'm so glad Howson went round kissing the players after Notts Forrest game. We were due to test on the 28th and we cancelled as we obviously wanted to play the Blackpool game as we tested the following day. We are not blame free in this situation either 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You can almost feel the sarcasm in that statement when you reach the bit about the EFL understanding and cooperation! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
thomas 501 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Another example of why sky is spoiling football, no way would the efl come to that original decision if it wasn't on sky. Efl were probably worried sky wouldn't give them as much money to share out between the clubs if they keep cancelling them. Glad common sense eventually got applied. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

People forget that Gibson has form! Only saving grace is that I never ever believed we were going to get through this period without our squad getting effected and anybody who thinks otherwise is deluded.

Redcar Rioja 5,872 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Do we have definite written confirmation from the EFL signed in blood and published in the public domain? Has anyone checked the Fax machine? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It’s true that it’s worked out very nicely for us. We’ve kept games on, won them, and now a difficult game off where our players would have been tired and up against a fresh side. Cup next week and no real impact in terms of fixture backlog. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
