You think not having a game against a depleted Leeds team works in your favour? It was a home walkover, probably 5 or 6 nil job.
Instead You'll have it moved to a midweek in a packed schedule later on with Leeds back to full strength.
It could still be 5 or 6 nil. It's Leeds after all
Games go ahead if there is 13 fit players and 1 fit goalkeeper.
Not hard to understand the threshold.
Unless you've had to close your training ground and weren't able to train in the lead-up to the game. Leeds only had 5 or 6 cases.
We haven’t closed anything but we are training with an ultra thin squad, having to use our youth team and having to rush back people like DCL just to play which doesn’t seem fair as he will be classed as one of our ‘fit’ players when he is nowhere near match fit. Doesn’t seem fair to me but we just have to do what we can if it still goes ahead.
No, it doesn't seem fair and seems to be a bit arbitrary. However, the thing which seems to be swinging it is if you have to close your training facilities due to the outbreak. I think if Leeds didn't have to do that the game would have gone ahead with the under 23s or whatever.
