Match Day Thread Sunderland v AFC Wimbledon - Tuesday 15th December - KO 19:00

It's 4, 5 out if you include Scowen. 3 starters with it, one sub. If it's true...

 

Well... It’s my 13th wedding anniversary today! I’ve seen my wife for half an hour due to work and her college course!! On the plus side, her college course means me and my son can watch the match!!

every cloud....

 

I would’ve thought they’d have the results by now mate. It’s too close to kick off to not know the outcome.

 

Cos at this stage it’s arnly a rumour

 

I agree - but it sounds like enough of them have had positive results for us to ask the EFL for a postponement.

My point was that its possible all this happened today, rather than more than 48 hours ago.

 

I don’t even know if they’d need permission to postpone if there was an outbreak mate. I’d just say **** that it’s off, no unnecessary risks. Boris would back us up.

 

Covid outbreak at the club but game expected to go ahead. Up to 5 players possibly out

Mitch Curry on bench

 

Will look at the positives - enforced rest for 5 players (better not be Diamond and McGeady who don't need one). And a chance for LJ to see more of his squad.

Hopefully everyone who has it is asymptyomatic and this is just a necessary precaution

 

The lights are on so they getting ready to play. Surely if its 5 players that's officially an outbreak and can't be allowed to play

 

Where’s this from mate.

 

Someone on RTG saying Maguire has tested positive and 5 more are isolating. no idea who he is or how he knows or if he's got any record of knowing anything - so please don't read this as anything but rumour.

 

Surely they all need to isolate if 1 has it. Or have the rules changed.
I hope anyone affected by it has a speedy recovery.

 

3-0.

For any lads who haven’t got stream passes etc game is apparently being shown live on SkyBet, you’ll need an account but don’t need to deposit or get to view.

Probably better quality than the usually stream have proper replays etc.

 

Might be a case of one positive and others waiting for test results, if more come back positive can see future games being postponed but not in time for tonight

 

Wyke, Graham, Power, Mcgeady, Maguire are the affected players I’ve been told.

 

half an hour is too long most people only need 3 mins

 

If we assume that's true, where do we go with the team?

Burge

Sanderson
Flanagan
Wright
McFadzean

Leadbitter
Dobson
Neil

Embleton
Diamond
Grigg

???

 

Curry, 8-0.

 

Question marks I meant as a question - that was 11 players. I'd assume Curry would be the sub striker and Hawkes would be on there. Plus McLaughlin. struggling to think of any other fit players near the first team
