Fair or foul, I don't really care- Derby and Sheffield Wednesday in this League, any setbacks a good thing. It would be helpful for us but I don’t think that’s very fair. I’d rather we play the games with kids if needs be. We have a massive squad with an underbelly of youngsters. It’s about time clubs stop moaning about fixture pile ups and use the players they have.

Davefevs Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 The article is a little misleading and ambiguous re which weekend. The positive tests were the weekend of the Cardiff game, not the one just gone. I don’t believe the Thursday (this week) is any real different to what was reported last week. Obviously all subject to testing on Thursday, but the article reads like there’s been more positive tests over this weekend at that’s prompted the closure of Failand.. Not saying there’s no concern, but it seems a bit more sensational than it perhaps is. Let’s hope so anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may, or have may not, introduced it to the dressing room. The point is, unless you’re going to completely isolate all the players and staff at Failand, including from partners, there’s always a possibility of an outbreak.

For me, the twice weekly testing might’ve seemed like excessive cost for a 99% negative / 1% positive result, but what are the costs a player contracting it asymptomatically and passing it on to several players and staff, both tangibly and intangibly? A 10 day isolation period is 4 games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Seems that once the Football League relaxed requirements- it doesn't even seem to be weekly from what I've read, we did likewise? When it comes to Internationals they have their protocol but seems we relaxed it once it was allowed- wonder how many are out, or might be out come Saturday??

Objectively, that seems to be correct- the protocol seem random though so I guess we'll see what the Football League advise/instruct...? To any Derby fans reading- an actual constructive post by me this- and moreover hi. I have a feeling that unless the outbreak really bad, the game won't be called off. Being objective for once, I'm not sure it should be either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Moreover, hope everyone is okay, I mean obviously some aren't okay as they have Covid, but not too serious, mild whatever and will make a full recovery without lingering after effects.

robin_unreliant Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 If there have been any positive tests more recently, surely we could lose a number of players for Derby. If the PM is being forced to isolate then our players can't be exempt. BCFC are operating in a covid safe way I'm sure, but if you get an outbreak there is a chance that a number of players may have a 14 day isolation. It would seem odd if they can be tested and exempt from isolation while BoJo can't, even though he's very probably immune now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even this is hotly debated - the rate at which the antibodies naturally subside or become of less use has been reported as quite rapid compared to immunity from other causes. But then again Boris is superhuman so I'm sure he's fine . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dredd Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Would guess the only known fit players at the moment are those away on international duty (assuming they come back without catching it!) so Kalas Nagy and COD?
