All four seem to be moving freely with no sign of any discomfort. At least the bench but possibly they will be used so others can rest on the comfy seats. Especially as we will, probably, be mathematically safe by Kick-off time.

death capture.JPG Weekly registered deaths fall below normal for the 1st time since w/e March 13th. 9339 deaths were recorded w/e 21st June which is 65 fewer than the 5 year average for the week. Deaths in hospitals and care homes decreased to way below their normal levels but deaths at home have i...

If Cork isn't fit then I would expect JBG to come in on the right with Brownhill moving into the centre.

If 1 forward recovers then I would expect them to start with Vydra having a rest on the bench, if 2 recover then McNiel back to the left and Vydra getting that well earned rest back on the bench

Everton name two sub keepers. Wonder why?

Seems our Mr Dyche has started a new selection routine

bfcmik

That last graphic is slightly misleading. The 7 day rolling average is a better indication and that has fallen from 1087 new cases average on June 24th to 946 rolling average today which is a 13% reduction

bfcmik

I think the broadcasters want to see which games will matter most before picking their schedules. I fully expect the potential Europa head to head Wolves game to be a high profile selection

They wouldn't be earning that sort of money if it wasn't for yours and others subscriptions to SKY and the like. It's a moral question that you can only answer yourself. Platforms like Sky are only able to be watched by people with good, secure jobs who can afford the subscriptions. Ask yourself th...

i can't see 2 out of Watford, West Ham, Bournemouth, or Villa winning another 3 games I can't see them winning 3 games between them the way they have been playing since Project Restart. Bournemouth's issues are the amount of injuries and unavailable players, they have almost a full first XI not ava...

Thought Palace were very poor in the first half. Marginally better in the second but their keeper lost them the points tonight.

Good to see our players had nothing to do with the win

Nothing though to when the Bristol City fans turned on their manager in the 1970s - Alan DICKS.

All bottom 4 have got challenging games to play. West Ham have also got games against Norwich and Villa, so, if WHU lose those two games they are effectively only on +1 at present, and if WHU win both those games then Norwich are effectively on -2 and Villa on +1. I guess Eddie and Bournemouth will...

I think it is one of those 'levelling the playing field' ideas that they come up with from time to time. So many clubs, especially down south, are struggling to keep playing let alone raise funds to pay a foreign professional. Therefore the one or two that can just keep winning everything. I would e...

If Hendrick or Bardsley were staying they would've signed yesterday to be included in last night's squad. The fact they let SD put out a threadbare squad and being well aware that's what would happen says it all to me. Personally, I don't want either of them anywhere near my club. Dyche chose to om...

Sean Dyche making a statement by selecting NONE of the players out of contract next week was unprofessional as were his comments about the contract situation. He tried to make it sound like he hasn't spoken to the Chairman since last year! Could he not have knocked on Mike Garlick's door or Zoom cal...

The 7 day moving average (right hand column) shows that German cases were falling until 14th June. Since then they have been steadily rising up to the 21st June. I have also included the 'official figures' (middle column). Germany DATE.....New Cases.....7 Day Avg 07/06/20...336.......... 362.57 08/...

bfcmik

Unprofessional from Dyche in my opinion. Making a statement by not including any of those out of contract next week and speaking so bluntly and, to my mind, disingenuously, about who is to blame for the situation - it's almost as if he hasn't spoken to the Chairman since last summer.

bfcmik

Yes I used Mondays at the start. Sundays at the end. The reason for this was that I was comparing figures from the start of June up to yesterday. You only need to look at the way the graphs are sloping to see that there was a slight rise last week in Germany. Four of the days last week showed the h...

It is Cherry picking the countries. I should know because it was me who did it. I did this deliberately because those countries are showing signs of an upturn. I compared the 1st June (Monday showing Sundays figures) with yesterday (Sunday showing Saturdays figures) - both weekend. I also included ...

Bulshit! Bullshit! As we sang to him at Wembley where he went and scored both goals against us. Came over at the end and applauded the Burnley fans though with a huge smile on his face.

I think Arsenal would be a good destination for Joe.

bfcmik

Well, if Bardsley and Hendrick are available then I guess that most of us would go with that starting line-up, but I think the general point of this thread is looking at what might happen if they aren't. If both Hendrick and Bardsley are available for selection, then obviously the squad doesn't loo...

I think we should play Joe Hart in goal.

Either side of Nick Pope.

Not sure we wouldn't concede even then LOL

I reckon we will start with a 4-5-1 formation at the Etihad.
Pope;
Bardsley, Tarks, Mee, Taylor;
Hendrick, Brownhill, Cork, Westwood, MnNiel;
Rodriguez

To be quite frank about it, Beardsley's attitude has been so good and fitness, he could play on for two years, i thought he was gone at Wolves last season, but he has been brilliant ever since I could see Bardsley doing a Graham Alexander. I haven't noticed any tailing off in his fitness, commitmen...

They clearly can't play from 1st July but I am sure I read somewhere that they are within their rights to refuse to play prior to that. It's certainly the case at Charlton where Lyle Taylor is one of three players who have said no to playing. I looked to see what has happened at Bournemouth with Ry...

I wish him well. We got decent value for his transfer fee :roll: I wonder why he wouldn't sign on for the extra month though, it isn't like he can go somewhere else in that time and it was a certainty that he would have been given opportunities to show other clubs that he can still cut the mustard. ...

Silly to get involved in American domestic politics like this. Football had previously had a good record of keeping politics out of its arena.

The Chairman said a few weeks ago that the club wouldn't want to but could stand losses up to £50 million. I'm sure that we won't need to cash in on our best players because of a cash crisis. In fact, I'm pretty sure we will be out there looking to pick up bargains from those clubs who are totally c...
