COVID Watch

We shouldn’t be training or playing while the virus is spreading through our squad. If we can’t contain the virus, the whole club should be shut down for two weeks.

It's obvious it's raging through the CFA. Keep an eye on the coming days for United... guarantee they catch it from one of our players tonight (something that I do not wish for btw) - PL testing is not fit for purpose and it's pounds before health atm. Players should strike.

Well thats another two who would've been on the bench tonight gone

Why should we have to play with a depleted squad because of a worldwide pandemic ripping through our squad? It’s bollocks.

Is Trafford fit? I noticed Slicker was playing in a couple of recent EDS games.

Dont know exactly but i think someone said he travelled and "warmed up" as 3rd choice in a recent game behind steffan and carson.

Football fast becoming more of a farce . Teams will win or get relegated purely on how bad the pandemic hits them.

Think about that leagues and cups won not on skill, or lack of injuries but won on the back that the pandemic didn't hit them as hard as their opponents.

Thread title doesn't have the same ring to it anymore..

Speedy recoveries for all concerned hopefully!

Isnt it about time the players union stop their members risking their lives and their families ? Close the campus down for 10 days.

i had to look up James Trafford, never heard of him, turns out i grew up in a village (different generation!) in the middle of nowhere in West Cumbria about 2 miles from his family. Strange.

Greysouthern? I went out with a girl from there once.

Don't know if you're still local to Cumbria but a couple of articles from the local rag

At this stage you have to question how for we let it go before we have a break. We have nearly a full team out now. Am sure the media will spin it to be our own fault though. If united end up with cases after tonight they'll be calling for then to sue us.

City can’t win on this. Request a postponement due to more fresh cases coming to light and we’ll get called out in plenty of quarters for “bottling” the match. Alternatively, we play the match, risk some of United’s players catching it from ours, and if that does indeed happen we’ll get pelters for that too.
