We'll have to play on Thursday night - UEFA rules say the game goes ahead unless you're down to fewer than 13 of your registered players or don't have a goalie available. But going by previous precedent we may be able to/have to postpone the Brighton and potentially Leicester game. Obviously with Burnley already moved that could create a fixture issue if we do go through on Thursday night. Could play them in empty January midweeks if we lose to West Ham in the League Cup. If not, one of them could be played in the FA Cup 3rd round replay slot if we don't draw against Morecambe.
 
Frickity frack, just when things were looking up, we may have a horrendous fixture pile up to contend with. Biggest concern is our second 11 are so unreliable!
 
If we drop out of the Conference then getting Brighton and Leicester postponed won't be much of an issue since we will have mid week dates available.

If the tests are from the last week and correct then surely some of our players played with it on Sunday as it takes 5 days on average to come out. PCR tests today should tell us more but I doubt it is going to be many first team players.
 
Gonna have to go to Burnley levels. Think somebody is going to have to 'accidentally' leave the sprinklers going and flood the pitch the day before matches.
 
We'll know the damage by Thursday.

If Brighton is to be cancelled then go strong in the ECL; if not then our hand has been forced and we'll have to rotate.

Bin no comps for the sake of it..... Our season may look very different by Feb so being arrogant about which comps we value may blow up in our face.
 
Seriously, am hoping we are using this to shithouse the hell out of this corrupt league with fake injuries etc.

The shit they have done to us over the years.

Injuries have nothing to do with any of this. EPL policy on injuries is "tough shit".

Other than making us play West Ham with the shits eleventy million years ago, what have they made us do?

And TBH, it was more a case that West Ham were in the FA Cup final the week after that meant we couldn't play them at a later date. Of all the fucking years those cunts get to a final.
