But any fixture congestion won't just be Charlton's ....... most other clubs in the Division will have a fixture pile up as well.moutuakilla said:
But that just pushes the congestion further into the season and we are likely to pick up more injuries with a fixture pile up. It pushes the problem further down the road. I imagine a lot of people were looking forward to watching some Charlton related football in the purgatory between Xmas and new years too.letthegoodtimesroll said:I can’t see why everybody is moaning. With TS the club is in a better position than it has been in years and probably in a far better position than the rest of the division. Pushing the midweek games back until we’ve got some key players back and brought in one or two others to strengthen the squad is the perfect scenario for us. We play Hull away a few days after we were scheduled to play Peterborough so the extra break will do the players good.

What it is doing is leaving us a free midweek for our next three games. It ought to benefit us in the short term although when you expect it to, it doesn't always. Look at the last international break!0

Yep, sounds decidedly fishy to me, someone is playing the EFL like a fiddle, and needs waking up to reality before this whole season becomes a non entity with all and sundry get on the bandwagon.killerandflash said:Bristol Rovers have their outbreak on the 15th, but will play their game on the 26th 11 days later
Peterborough have their outbreak on the 18th, but won't play their game on the 29th 11 days later

We'll lose Crewe in March as well when the next round of internationals are played, so that's already 3 games we need to reschedule.fmaddick said:At my count, we lost 2 (or 3?) games on most teams due to internationals prior to Xmas, and may lose a couple more later in the season.
We gained back FA Cup Second round day.We’ve lost Bristol Rovers and Peterborough.If we were to be in a similar situation to those clubs and miss 2/3 games due to Covid, we’d be in a hell of a rush to get games finished I’d think0 -
If Levitt goes back, then it'll only take one of the remaining 3 internationals to be dropped or injured to drop us below the 3 callups requiredChris_from_Sidcup said:

Surprised Peterborough want to risk relying on PPG again...0

I just think the whole world is against us .....diddums1

It's not "diddums" its playing to the rules. If a player tests positive then others have to self isolate for TEN days. Not 11 or 12 or however many you want. Its TEN.oohaahmortimer said:I just think the whole world is against us .....diddums
I wonder what the EFL stance would be if we arbitrarily said the wage cap was £3m and we sign 3 more players because of it.7 -
Where are we in the league with PPG right now?0

Given we are at the beginning of 3 winter months with Covid rife it is very hard to imagine the season can end properly.1

Just glanced at the current table.sam3110 said:Where are we in the league with PPG right now?
Off the top of my head, PPG looks like :
1st Hull City 17 games 34points = 2 points per game
2nd Accrington 15 games 29 points
3rd Doncaster 16 games 30 points
4th Charlton 16 games 30 points
5th Lincoln 17 games 32 points
6th Pompey 18 games 33 points
No calculator, so estimated. Correct me if needed

So win tomorrow and hope a couple of others draw and we could be up by PPG if they call off the season at the end of 20200

They're not going to promote or relegate clubs when less than half the season has been playedsam3110 said:So win tomorrow and hope a couple of others draw and we could be up by PPG if they call off the season at the end of 20202 -
We wont get to PPG for months to come.......if ever. Last year the season was suspended for 3 months and that was in March. FWIW I think things will continue as they are & come Feb/March when the vaccine is being rolled out to vast swathes of the population then things will look a lot better.
Only problem there will be is having to play sat/tues/sat during jan, feb & march.0 -
No chance the season gets pulled0

I don't know if it's been mentioned but Peterborough's Pitch has been damaged this week due to a water/Sprinkler leak.
Coincidence ?

Teams should have to play the kids. Look at the NFL different sport I know, but they’ve played every game and teams were only allowed to postpone for a few days or into a bye week. Obviously this is lower league football but have the prevention rules been followed?0

I think you are right, but we are going into a period where you will want to be up with PPG.killerandflash said:

Well, I would rather have games on now whilst the pigs are out and about fining anyone who dares to go out after 8pm.letthegoodtimesroll said:I can’t see why everybody is moaning.

By springtime the dictatorship might have eased off a bit.0 - Sponsored links:

Is it optional that we call off games due to international call ups? I know any team is always likely to take up the option but might not be compulsory.killerandflash said:

I wonder what happens if the media find any of the Peterborough staff and players out for a Christmas meet up in the area to the south of the city which are still in Cambridgeshire and Tier 2. It sounds to much of a coincidence that their pitch is unplayable because of a water leak, would they be fined for that?0

I hope that those who have postponed have set their bar. i.e. if a couple of players get the virus in say April they have to self isolate for 10 days.0
-
I think where the EFL is saying it will investigate clubs who postpone, it is referring to clubs who are being dishonest could get found out and face sanctions. If there is Covid within the club, which I'm sure will be the case, then there would be no problem.0

It's entirely down to clubs. We played an EFL Cup match during an international break as we weren't bothered about playing a weakened teamarthur said:

So every club with players who are not careful and contract the virus just get to bring everyone else down by pushing off matches with to accountability at all?

Yes it's optional so we can decide to play.arthur said:

Given that we play Crewe at home during the next international break, i wonder if fixtures do start to pile up whether we'll just opt to play it anyway.
Naturally most clubs call games off as you'd expect their internationals to be their best players but assuming we don't have many injuries at the time (big assumption i know), then Matthews can play instead of Gunter, Schwartz can play instead of Washington and Williams is only a bit part player anyway.1 -
Might as well play the Crewe game, taking a break for international weekends doesn’t tend to work so well for us.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
