Karanka

[Ronners]

He probably won’t be in charge when we play them

If they get another manager in before we play them how can that be fair on other teams? Surely that will mean they get a new manager bounce and they will then be trying more against teams who will just be expecting to turn up and beat brum.
We haven't changed our manager once this season, but if they sack karanka and bring someone else in that will be 2 managers in a few months and the EFL need to look into this.......blah.......blah😀.........

I wouldn't worry too much about what karanka says, and we've just been unlucky with the covid. Maybe they could ask karanka if he thinks that all teams who have had players test positive should play anyway? Is that what he is saying? and as for EFL investigating it, they would have to as a matter of course to make sure teams had medical evidence to prove they had covid, and as unhappy as Wayne Rooney was when our game against Derby was postponed due to covid, he said the health of the players was the most important thing.

Krankie,s argument is flawed anyway because the notion that teams have nothing to play for doesn't resemble reality for many reasons. If only football were that simple.

Some players are trying to earn a new contract or get themselves in the playoffs starting XI and so will try much harder. Joe Newel springs to mind here.

Also other players will play with less pressure and won't be as cagey because there's no fear of losing and play with a lot more flair.
So what can happen is that a team that appears to have nothing to play for can actually play much better than normal

Bear in mind as well EFL doctors have said we should call these games off.

'I am the 9.6' works.
