9 subs can be named, and maximum 5 can be used for remainder of the season.
Wow hadn't seen this... That'll make games feel completely different. You could almost play a completely attacking side one half then an all out defensive side second half.
Some may say an unfair advantage over the previous 37 games
Not sure if it’ll be the same over here but in Germany they have added rules around substitutes too. Such as, you can only make subs 3 times in a game. So you cannot make 5 single subs meaning 5 stoppages in play. You’d have to make a couple of double substitutions.

Thats good to know, I was under the assumption that the game could effectively be stopped ten times

Although subs at HT don't count towards that, I only realised that the other day, I noticed Dortmubd made 2 subs at HT then a further 3 periods were they made 1 sub, I thought but thats 4 groups of subs then and its only 3.
So I checked the fifa rulling and its 3 stoppages in the game, so you can make subs at HT then stop the game a further 3 times for the other subs
I have a hunch that the season will restart this month but still not end due to something covid related. On that basis, it looks vital that we get an early win to move us out of the bottom 3, above the trap door ASAP. I think the lads will miss the home support which could well impact on our potential home points total. Hopefully, the first fixture is Hull away (as would have been the case had lockdown not occurred) which I fancy us to win, giving us a massive morale boost and climb into the ‘safe zone’. It’ll probably be Leeds away though, knowing our bloody luck this year!
Ultimately, I am hoping that things get under way again so we have a chance to save ourselves. That still seems unclear with, allegedly, several teams like QPR strongly opposing the EFL decision to restart on 20th June.
That has to be the plan really. Win against Hull and then send the players on a daytrip to somewhere where half of them can get Covid. Then just expose another player at a time to that original group when the quarantine period is coming to and end and keep that chain going until time runs out and Hull are relegated. I assume that's what Bowyer's preparations for the restart article on the OS says, I haven't read it
Plenty of battle and endeavour there but won’t be enough IMO.
Purrington, Page, Aneke, Forster-Caskey will all have a say too
And McGeady and Smith. Easily forgotten, but we will need all the squad to cover the 9 games in a short period. I really hope Albie Morgan gets a chance too

I take it you were joking, but there is nothing funny in wishing Covid on anyone.

If McGeady and Smith end up influencing our survival it will be a miracle.

McGeady was Sunderland's player of the year last season, scoring 11 goals. Yes there are issues with him, but IF fit and motivated he's more likely to provide a goal threat that the likes of Williams and Cullen.

But Cullen is more likely to offer the box to box engine roomer we need.

I hope you're right, just can't forget how bad he was in the few games he featured.

Yeah I'm really hoping that this break is almost a chance for him to rejuvinate into the player we all know he can be
Pleased to see that Barnsley are threatening legal action unless the Derby and Sheffield Wednesday points deductions are not imposed before the relegation issues are finalised.

"Wednesday have been locked in a dispute with the EFL since last November after they were charged with breaching Profitability & Sustainability rules and a date has now been set in July for their fight to go before an independent disciplinary commission."
July? What a total cop out.
By the time any decision is made, it will be said that it's too late to affect this season.

This is an outrage. Why should they have another season of Championship football and income. It should be made clear that if they lose and the points deductions would have taken them down, then it will be applied retrospectively. If they would have stayed up, next season. Cheats must not be allowed to get away with it.

Depends on the date even playing two games a week the ‘regular’ season would finish weekend of 18th July....yes I have provisionally put all the fixtures in my diary.
Five Saturdays away and 4 home midweek if they run in order they were due to.
Interestingly if they do our first two games would be against the two teams who have been most vocal against the season restarting.

And the July date us just when the Independent panel sits. They might take a few weeks before they give their decision & then SW have time to appeal.

So I checked the fifa rulling and its 3 stoppages in the game, so you can make subs at HT then stop the game a further 3 times for the other subs
So all Millwall season ticket holders will be allowed back into The New Den then

I'd want both in the squad.
