Shetland Owl Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Looks like we have plenty of problems coming up with a mass of players out with Covid symptoms and injuries Cannot afford to loose next two games . Only can manage 3 subs today. If we had another 3-4 players out would we get these postponed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan™ Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I think/hope this is only an FA Cup requirement to use academy players if available to fill out the squad. They really don't want these games abandoned as it would really mess up the schedule for everyone else. League games should still be our right to call off if we don't feel like we can field enough players, but I recall something about not being allowed to abandon 3 games in a row without risk of points deductions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as we are mathematically safe if they stop the league, they should stop the league. It’s the fairest way for everyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams managed without subs at all, even substitute goalkeepers were unavailable. If a Keeper got injured to such an extent that he was carried off, an outfield player took the jersey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
