who has covid ? Tbh, it’s not that difficult to catch it.  It’s a it like the old insurance joke - ‘when is the fire?’

 

of course, if vards or Evans get it now then we couldn’t use them as a reason to postpone 
 

I assume Brendan has gone into detail on when players will be available again (Burnley or brighton) so that the PL can’t argue that we have enough when the inevitable covid case is found on Monday ! 

Doesn't need to be covid.

 

13 senior players need to be fit - could be covid or injuries caused by playing as a result of covid.

 

Don't know what happens if we cancel twice.

I thought we built a world-class training facility, turns out it’s the Island of Dr. Moreau.

Dont think Rodgers gets anyway near the level of criticism he should for our injury record. The bloke literally runs players into the ground knowing full well theyre carrying injuries (Vardy, Soyuncu, etc) and therefore makes the injury worse and we end of losing them for longer in the long term. He needs to accept he cant play his strongest team every week in such a tight schedule and start rotating to preserve players like any responsible manager, even if that means playing some of the youth team some weeks.

That's pretty much an FA Cup 3rd round team as it is. So no apparent harm.

 

The harm comes when that same 13 have to play Everton, Burnley, Spurs and possibly round 4. That'll cause 2 more hamstrings. We basically lose a major player every 1.5 games for a minimum 4/5 weeks  on average. It's unsustainable.

Our only hope is someone picked up covid at the darts

Have a look at the team I've just posted up and see who I've opted not to pick. Maddison might be OK though but I personally think they'll rest him.

Meant to be more out that he did not mention according to one or two on here.

Just seen that. Injuries or Covid or both?

Mainly " knocks "

At least sounds like Daka, and Soyuncu are not far away. 

 

Need to stick in a 2-3 of the under 23s tomorrow.

 

If Benko does not play tomorrow he's never going to play.

Not only do we need to stick 2-3 in, but our entire bench will be academy players

Shame we can't recall Wright and Hirst, at least they have some experience in league football.

Whole thing seemed avoidable from our perspective and the leagues. 

 

If we bought a capable centre half when fofana got injured I genuinely don't think we'd be in this mess.

 

Weve been playing catch up all season and needing points. Sounds ridiculous but the inability of vestergaard and the lack of trust in him has meant soyuncu and Evans have played way too many games.

Definitely built that new training ground on some ancient burial ground. This is unreal.

Oh dear. So that brings us down to:

 

Vestergaard

Castagne

Benkovic

Barnes

Tielemans

Maddison

Albrighton

Choudhury

Perez

Lookman

 

No left backs. One right back who will have to play left back (Castagne), so Vontae-Campbell will have to come in.

KDH out. Ugh.

[VLC86]

Telling Bertrand he has injured his Meniscus is like when the apprentice on building sites gets sent to buy a long weight.

Instead of asking for postponements can we ask to play 5-a-side instead?

Not to stoke the fire too much.... but Bristol City's once abysmal fitness record has been more or less resolved in the last six months
