    Also currently we are having postponements due to covid in our camp, but when we get the all clear we can still lose more games if covid is in the opposition camp.

    Us, Chesterfield now Donny have covid in the camp, it’s quite feasible that Barnsley might be next. Who knows?

    Sunderland have now cancelled their fourth game in succession

    As it appears that a rigorous testing regime has not been taking place maybe now it should be going forward.
    It's astonishing that the efl and the govt have allowed this to happen

    As the Premier league have not really shared much of their huge pot of gold then surely the least they could do is fund the tests going forward

    Was it a good idea for this season to impose restrictions on squad size? Maybe in January they will allow larger squads so teams can meet fixtures.

    Possibly was a mistake to be implemented this season but doubt they could "unlevel" the playing field halfway through

    Why can't we as a club tell the EFL we simply aren't playing like Sunderland have. They have now cancelled their 4th match due to Covid.

    BBC sportpage:

    Sunderland have confirmed Tuesday's League One game at Accrington Stanley has been suspended, as a Covid-19 outbreak continues to affect the squad.

    It follows the postponement of the Black Cats' past three games - against Shrewsbury, Blackpool and Hull - with this now the fourth in succession.

    Sunderland said the decision was made on player welfare grounds, given the volume of positive cases at the club.

    The Wearsiders' next game is due to be against Northampton on 2 January.

    As per the previous postponements, the English Football League will investigate the circumstances behind the call-off.

    Sunderland told the EFL they would be unable to fulfil the fixture because of the recent positive coronavirus tests and the need for other players and staff to self-isolate.

    Further information regarding a rescheduling of the game at Accrington will be made available "in due course".

    Really don’t think the season will finish pal. There’s another full lockdown on its way and football will cease again in my opinion.

    Just need to stay out of bottom 3 if we can as it will probably be a average points per game situation again, this time throughout all the leagues.
