Has it been called off yet or is it still too early for that?

Let another couple of x43's pull into Salford first.

KO 20:15, so 2 and a half hours before is 17:45.

We should know in 15 minutes.

I hear Ronaldo has broken a fingernail and Maguire grazed his knee in training, so they are down to the bare bones

Jay Rod and Pope out according to Twatter.

Pope will be a massive loss.

I think Sean Dyche has mentioned two covid situations, but not mentioned any names.

If they are both out I presume they'll both miss the Leeds game as well, due to having to isolate for seven days.

Agreed, although I've always liked Hennessey and he gives me more confidence as a backup than our other keepers last season.

Depending on when they tested positive.

And if they test negative after 7 days. I am still yet to meet anyone that has tested negative on day 7.

It's all dependent on when one takes the initial test.
i didn't know I had it, so didn't get a negative LFT until 4 days after having a bit of a cold (we test every Saturday due to my partner's work)

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 6:20 pm

Pope out is a blow but Hennessey does inspire far more confidence than our options did last season.

Hopefully both Nick and Jay will be back for Leeds, depending on when their positive result were. Isolation time is 7 days now I think.

I’ve never tested positive on a LFT but my PCR was positive. They’re hit and miss.

You obviously have a very small sample size, then. Not representative.

ClaretAL · Post by **ClaretAL** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 6:42 pm

It has to make you wonder with these LFT tests, that the kids are faking them by adding coca cola, or orange to them to make them return a positive result, so if the kids know that im sure the football clubs do, but even more so what does coke and orange have in it that's linked to covid considering how long it took to make a tester.

Clubs do PCR I believe. Might be wrong but I think so. It does raise a valid point though that clubs could fake a result, Watford is the one I’m suspicious about.

Seriously? Or do i need to get a tin foil hat?

Norman · Post by **Norman** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 6:57 pm

Not sure what the lineup is going to be tonight. Pope and Jay out and we know who will be in goal but will Cornet start and if not, will it be Wood & Vydra.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 6:58 pm

Praying its not wood and Barnes!

Pope out

Lennon starts, Wood lone striker

Only seven subs with Bobby Thomas on the bench

The safety of everyone is a priority and the Premier League is taking all precautionary steps in response to the impact of the Omicron variant of COVID-19.

The League has reverted to its Emergency Measures, and has increased testing of players and club staff to daily lateral flow and twice-weekly PCR tests, having previously carried out lateral-flow testing twice a week.

From the PL statement on Monday.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 7:02 pm

Wood is going to have to work hard tonight is that's correct.

Hmm interesting BBC saying three times earlier this week

Ronaldo starts for Utd. No Cornet.

If your parking up in Manchester, get back in your car and come home

To be fair we didn't have Cornet when we won there last season.

Lennon starting, Thomas on the bench and no under 23s. Looks like a Dyche statement to the rest of them to play through it.

We need Cornet at Leeds, but that's now looking the bench at best - so why go through all the discussions to release him from the 4th Jan? That's now pretty pointless.

boatshed bill · Post by **boatshed bill** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 7:18 pm

Lennon (apparently) up front. FFS

dermotdermot · Post by **dermotdermot** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 7:19 pm

Pope, Brownhill, Rodriguez and Cornet all missing. Couldn’t we have had this called off?

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Thu Dec 30, 2021 7:19 pm

Surely we aren't playing 4-4-2 with that line up. No way Lennon starts ahead of Vyds.
