    That's a sign that they're running scared :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Mind, if they get away with trying to cheat, which is what this is, it's a very clear, and obvious, sign that the EFL want us to stay in the Third Division :cry:

    It wouldn’t surprise me if the EFL allowed them to do it.

    It is winter but will the Premier and FA want to give the players adequate rest period? Don't the big clubs tend to jet off to foreign independent money generating tournaments that then makes a mockery of their bleatings of being tired at the end of the long season...

    By extending it still dosnt mean that the outstanding games can be completed in there asked time limit
    There could be more cases of Covid in the teams there playing
    And what about the teams that have played games with a depleted squad

    Teams play weaker teams in cup to concentrate on the league, if you choose not to do that then should be told to **** off when you come crying about Fixture pile up.

    I think it’s Covid related I’m not sure
    But I think there will use that excuse
    I think they will say we had to postpone there games and it was not there fault ?????

    I wonder how many did they miss for covid and they are not the only ones, could have played it by playing younger less experienced players like we have.

    They’ve **** in their own nest.

    Cancelled games because of injuries yet playing next to full strength sides in the pizza cup.

    It’s happened to us and others, i think Rotherham had to play 3 or 4 games a week last season, they just need to get on with it. Don’t see why they should get special treatment.
