Gonna end up with one game and it's ours just to really rub it in

I know things can change quickly but no positive cases reported within Brentford camp, 2 covid related in ours. Expect it to go ahead unless there is a last minute outbreak

Any chance our game could be moved earlier to fill one of the more favourable tv slots?
No chance. Expect most planning on going will have made family plans around an 8pm kick off, any way. On another note, just when I think I've got my FPL team place, boom - this! Testing times

I certainly hope ours goes ahead even though I can't go. We've already got three games to re-arrange into a packed second half of the season. Thankfully the FA have done the sensible thing are got rid of replays for the 3rd and 4th round of the FA Cup which frees up a couple of mid weeks. We don't want a repeat of Magic March, we won't win 8 games in a month in the PL.

No surprise the dippers game is off. Klopp hasn't stopped f*cking grizzling all month.

Well let's try and make the most of it if it does go ahead, it could be our last visit to the Amex for a while. With our next home game not scheduled until 14th Jan, we are bound to have moved to Plan C by then.

Makes sense if a load of first teamers are missing, unfair advantage otherwise. Spuds and ManU early gainers from laying it on thick.

Should probably be a mini EPL break starting now, for clubs to get their act together on zero Covid. It's achievable, the clubs followed incredibly tight protocols in 2020's Project Restart.

I'm keen for it to go ahead. I still enjoy going, even of late and welcome at least an opportunity to try and get back to winning ways.

Looking forward to Welbeck and Webster returning and would rather us not have a massive backlog of games in the New Year to arrange for nearly every mid week

I agree. Probably not the thread for such a suggestion, but bearing in mind the returnees, is this too attacking a line up for a Potter side do you think?

Sanchez
Lamptey Webster Duffy Cucurella
Bissouma
Mwepu Gross Trossard
Maupay Welbeck

Biss is suspended so no matter what happened we'd end up with the game being awarded to Brentford for fielding an ineligible player if we started with that 11.

Biss is suspended, so you could replace with MacAllister if you are looking to add attacking intent

No surprise Dirty’s game is off. If I could understand a word he says Bielsa probably hasn't stopped f*cking grizzling all month.

Do you mean you can't be bothered to learn Spanish? :)

Seriously, is it any great surprise that Leeds are struggling, if half of his side can't understand what he is trying to say them, and another member of the coaching staff has to help with his team talk? :nono:

This big time please! I'm still going at 8pm as fear this might be last game for a while. Move it to a sensible time and crowd might be better. Notwithstanding the covid fear factor which is understandable and down to personal choice, the stupid kick off time is still a factor.
