Wrexham is in the balance...

This. We cannot afford to field a weakened team against promotion rivals. Taking a chance on a game this crucial is bleddy ridiculous.

IB has explained why he wants to play. Economics were not a reason. He trusts the squad and has now sent out that message in public. IB is the one that has to motivate the players and calling off a game of football when enough players are available would have been counterproductive.
We also don’t know who in the squad has tested positive, so we don’t know if we will be putting out a ‘weakened’ team. The beauty of keeping it under wraps is that Wrexham also have no clue what kind of side we can put out.

The only problem with that comment is that those who sit on the bench are just not good enough to play in a match of this importance.. I certainly wouldn't trust any of them..

Can't argue with that. It's common that the players who predominantly make the bench only can't be relied upon, it's certainly been the case at Notts for a while now.

I wouldn’t disagree Durham. The point is that IB is saying he does trust them. In many cases they are his signings.
As I stated earlier, none of us know who has been impacted. For all we know it’s players who would ordinarily be on the bench that have been impacted.
