Match Thread Most liked posts in thread: Home Versus Crawley Saturday 16th January- MATCH POSTPONED

lad travels during a pandemic when instruction is not to make any unnecessary journeys unless for food, medical appointments or work to take some photos to put on his social media for a match that has already been postponed just to try and make a point.

idiot.

 

The decision to call the game off, looks dafter by the minute. Hindsight is a wonderfull thing, though.I live between Queensbury and Thornton and people are getting about on most roads with ease. Surely the 100 yds between Manningham lane and the player entrance at Valley parade could have been cleared. The rest of the Roads down from the m606 were fine.

 

The only good thing about this miserable saturday, hope they can hold on, how did Brighton manage to travel all that way up to Leeds in these arctic conditions.. ?

 

1 0 Guthrie 35 yarder last minute.

 

Too much negativity on here. Yes we are in a poor league position but having no game the past three weeks, not much damage has been done. The un -inforced break might have come at a bad time form wise but it has also given weary legs a chance to rest,injuries time to heal. the management team time to get more of their message across and time to re-mould the squad.
Every cloud has a sliver lining , the saying goes and that's how i am looking at it.

 

Hopefully they get a glamour tie in the 4th round so their heads are elsewhere. Not wanting to get stuck in so as to not risk injury for Anfield, Old Trafford or The Emirates.

 

That's what I was thinking. I seem to recall our league form dipping when we were on the way to the league cup final? Hopefully they see a trip to Bradford as it bit of a come down after today and their heads are on another big name in the 4th round (and a possible 5th round name too).

 

Remember when Hopkin was here. We had a hot run, bashing a few teams, then we had the postponements and lost all momentum. There were some divisive characters at the club then though, Payne was awful once his loan had been extended, and there was plenty of trouble behind the scenes.

Hopefully under the current set up, this break will have been a positive in freshening up some of the older players and those who have been on the go non stop.

It has also given Stevens a chance to work this week, so it is possible he might start this one now, whereas a place on the bench seemed likely last weekend.

 

Due to snow all day today, but should be clearer and milder by Saturday. We really can't afford another postponement

 

Looks like Crawley are selling Watters to Cardiff so can't see him being involved tomorrow. Although they slapped leeds without him so it might not be much of an advantage.

Turns milder tonight. I think there's still a chance it'll be on, as long as any snow in the morning isn't heavy.

Pitch covers generally protect against frost/freezing up to -4, I believe.

 

Never mind the players, what am I supposed to do with a third free Saturday in a row!! Match has got to be on! Pleeease!

 

Covers were -5c unless it's changed recently.

 

They'll start to begin considering when to proceed with rearranging postponed fixtures very soon, don't you worry.

 

The game might be off but once again Mick Doyle and is team have done a sterling job getting the pitch playable.
Fantastic effort shame the council didn't help but there again it's not the first time and it won't be the last,we aren't a priority obviously in the grand scheme of things.

 

Theres a simple answer to that one, get the roads clear which neccestitate the very slim off chance that the assistance of an ambulance may be needed. we're in the 21st century, it ain't that hard to clear a couple of roads.

 

but there are mixed forecasts - some say worse, some say in improvement. the games off, it's not going to change and there are worse things going on in the world right now. time to move on.
