    I found the sight of four first team players from Leicester at the darts incredible (particularly as it looked like a Covid pit in there). Seems some clubs are taking it more seriously than others.

    I mean surely they can’t count any of those towards a postponement request if it happens? I mean - they can. But shouldn’t be able to

    I think that's across the whole spectrum of society. So much for individuals taking responsibility for behaving with care and caution. The examples from the government really have come home to roost.
    Edit. Reading the experiences of fans at matches with corona check and Laces post re the Leicester player reinforces the lack of will to behave responsibly from individuals to corporations and government.

    I'm not certain of the new regulations in Wales, but if the game is shown live in Swansea pubs, it will probably only be watched by the pub landlords, as Wales has banned 'large gatherings'. Of course, this may have been the whole point of your reply, so please accept this as further proof that I don't get some jokes!

    We’re definitely winning the FA Cup this season, right?

    Be interesting to see what side we put out for this, Ralph seems to like to go fairly strong in the cups but we have Brentford a few days after this game.

    All the indicators are that he wants to at least give some minutes to Simeu and Small. Whether that's a starting berth or not, I'd be slightly surprised, because as you say, Ralph (thankfully) tends to go reasonably strong in the cups. We should certainly be rested, so I don't know how much of a concern it'll be with Brentford on Tuesday.

    Would be interesting to see a defence with KWP, Simeu, Small in it as I’m pretty sure none of those are likely to play against Brentford

    And another start for Tella

    I would expect Perraud, Stephens and Smallbone to play.

    Nah, if the players get tired we’ll just claim they’re injured and get the game postponed again…

    Perraud might be rested for the Brentford game. I'd go with a back four of KWP, Lyanco, Stephens, Small.
