Got to agree with you as we won oher way would be hard to agree😉 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think we would have put that team out if half the squad weren't suffering from covid? The fact players like McNair and Howson still played speaks volumes I would expect not putting out a strong squad even should all be fit, its a cup game against a low devision and our focus is the league. I am allowed to be critical when we play bad, or has the forum changed the rules, but let’s face it I openly applaud when we play well. I don’t entertain excuses that state could or possibly etc as being factual, proof for poor performance so to say. I know what I witnessed with my own eyes and we were poor regardless of excuses. We played poorly and I don’t see why people would want to defend what is clearly the case. Anyway I don’t really care about the cup being a distraction. Link to post Share on other sites
cornishboroboy 272 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Someone on here said that they were trying to get some news verified about why Connolly was missing today - above what we thought with the registration error. Implied it was pretty unbelievable if true. Link to post Share on other sites

We played poorly in the second half, yes, but you can't just ignore factors that will have gone into why we played badly.. Link to post Share on other sites

We don't have that many injuries in the squad so, as opposed to some postponed games, 50% or more will have had it. That's a bare minimum. 'how many training sessions were less than what would normally be conducted' - we don't work at Rockliffe. It's just a bit of common sense. If half your team has COVID and is isolating, what do you think is going on at Rockliffe during the past week? OK just to make you happy, we played well with a ravaged squad 🤣 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
