Wolves v Watford (H) - Boxing Day, Build up

[Paddingtonwolf]

They have multiple players isolating as close contacts. That’s unvaccinated

 

[PuntsWolf]

Link?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Premier League statement referred to isolation not cases.

 

[AndyWolves]

That seems awfully exploitable

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Not sticking up for watford but don't you still have to isolate even if you have been jabbed and were in close contact now?

 

[Derby Wolf]

Not sticking up for watford but don't you still have to isolate even if you have been jabbed and were in close contact now?

No, LFT for 7 days and isolated if one turns positive.

 

[Tredman]

Didn’t they change that so if it was omicron you had to isolate?

 

[PuntsWolf]

Premier League statement referred to isolation not cases.

Yeah and if you’re a case you have to isolate…

“Watford continue to have an insufficient number of players to field a team after their match against Crystal Palace last Saturday was postponed following a COVID-19 outbreak”. That tells you nothing. If anything it says they’ve had cases.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Glad that this was one I was not going to be able to get to from S London for a 12.30 KO.

Suspect that the 2 matches postponed so far won't be the last - at least ours was done a few days before rather than 2 hrs.

I'm of the opinion that as long as they have 14 players above 18 they should play and in 100% sure they will have. Derby had to in the fa cup so the precedent is there.

Should follow local pub league rules. If you can field 8 players you have to play. Would be great to see if you actually ended up a h an 8 v 9 game. The cynic in me doesn’t think you would ….

They did. And then changed it back to daily LFT.

 

[Boozad]

I just really don't get how Watford aren't clear to play us 11 days after their last game was cancelled but they're fine to play two days later. And I really don't believe they wouldn't be able to put out eleven players against us either.

 

[Tony Towner]

Games pencilled in for the midweek after the cup. Hopefully Watford will play one of their others
