    Short term disappointment but with no Shinnie, Morgan, Doughty, Smyth, Famewo, Inniss and did Aneke pick up an injury Saturday ?

    Williams would've be back on the bench or just play 1st half. 

    Pratley is having to play every match, and so is Watson.

    Momentum only happens in football if 9 or 10 of the same players play the next match.
    Cafc are never in that position.

    More gutted for our owner but at least Thomas Sandgaard goes back to Colorado with happy memories of Saturday.

    this really does muck up my spreadsheet, don't they care!
    I pity anyone coming between an Addick and an Excel spreadsheet!!

    Tantamount to knicking his pencil case or flask...

    Gives our injured players a bit more time to recover plus the likes of Williams and Aneke should be fresh for the weekend

    Got an email from the club inviting me to buy a stream about a minute before the postponement announcement.

    Disappointing but might work in our favour if the rearranged game we have a few injured players back fit 
  • That is a massive kick in the teeth the day before Tier 3.

    Fucking Covid...

    Ah man, gutted. FFS.

    They must’ve had at least 3 players and 2 members of staff, you then have the rest who have to self isolate that have been in close contact, like Oshilaja with Levitt.

    Their game on Saturday must be off as well.

    Changes things completely now. The way we train and what we do will be different. But gives players like Forster-Caskey and Williams the chance to play more minutes on Saturday.

    Have a good evening all.

    LOL, had a few problems paying for the stream with CAFC Cash, finally got it dome literally two minutes before the deadline, a small victory in BW vs the internet. Or so I thought......

    Looking on the bright side, it's more time off the clock on the Famewo + Inniss injuries, among others.

    Just as long as we reschedule it for much later on the season so players like Innis & Famewo are back. None of this January lark like last season when we rearranged one just a few weeks ahead when we had loads of injuries.

    Seriously, what can you do?
    Remind footballers to adhere to Covid rules.

    My son is a ground hopper and 12 matches  out of 22 in the lower leagues that could have had spectators up to Midnight within 20 miles or so have been called off because of the pandemic. 

    His second choice was Croydon Athletic v Charlton U21 but according to the Croydon Twitter is off because of positive tests of opponents.

    Couldn't we let them borrow a few players to make up the numbers?

    That happened in WW2.

    Another game in hand then, what a load of bollocks. Games building up , shame we cant play someone else or claim the game or something just getting ridiculous
    Claiming the game is ridiculous. Imagine we were to lose a potential 9 points over something we can't control. 
    How do we know they couldn’t control it though? Were the infected just unlucky or behaving irresponsibly?

    WTF!!!... TWO players - takes the absolute piss that does!!
  • Sandgaard said 2 players of theirs only had covid. That is a joke if true.

    Others would probably be in isolation.
  • We lost Levitt and Oshilaja for Burton | Ipswich | MK Dons | Shrewsbury for the same reason!!

    But I suppose there may be a risk others have it. We really don't want them potentially giving it to our players. Wise to postpone even though it is disappointing as I was looking forward of watching tonight.

    Surely the number of players that have tested positive is irrelevant. The issue it that all those that have had close contact would need to isolate too.
    Thats why the game is off.
  • It would be ironic if Oztumer was one of the players who tested positive...

    Really gutted, especially with Tier 3 kicking in at midnight.

    Really feel for those who hadn’t made it to a game yet this season who have had tonight taken away from them.
