Lanterne Rouge Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 With all the games being called off we seem to be one of a very few clubs who haven`t had to request a postponement due to problems at the club. Are we doing things better than others or just not playing the system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 it makes a lot of sense to try that bit harder to avoid it,(covid) if you can play teams with depleted squads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 All valid points but it seems we do have our house in order. I wouldn`t be surprised if there might be repercussions further down the line for those clubs that `haven`t (perhaps) tried as hard` though.

I`m not sure. You`d have to go through each postponement and see which club requested it. Luton for instance seem to have more problems than most.

As I’ve sadly found over Xmas being fully jabbed and boosted doesn’t stop you getting it (and passing it on). However given the higher reluctance of footballers (25%) ish and younger people in generalto not get vaccinated, I’m just pleased that as a club we have a high rate. After all, it’s mostly about protecting the vulnerable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Pretty sure the club took all the players to get their boosters in one go back in December. We definitely seem to have our house in order and that has no doubt been helped by having a manager who knows full well how bad the virus is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malago Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 I believe the only refusenik is Nakhi Wells. The rest of the squad is fully vaccinated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Vaccinated the players are Good to avoid it. NPs illness sure made an impact and the Club Take it seriously. The virus is all around the world and we have to accept it. In a years time Most people are vaccinated and maybe then the illness wont be so bad. Here in Sweden Most every person over 60 years have had a third jab. Really hope we can come over next season and watch games live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 The virus or 3 points, we can't pick up either.... Seriously though, I wonder how many of our players have young kids and if it's less than a lot of other clubs, meaning their wider social group us smaller.

Loosey Boy Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 I think the club have managed COVID very well and long may it continue There are definitely some clubs playing games with it though and getting matches cancelled for reasons more than just COVID (e.g our friends north of the river)…..just hope that fixture backlog impact their performances when they have to catch-up on cancelled games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
