Arrive early

Get ready to boo

25% of efl players not vaccinated. 

Wonder if th efl or the clubs will start insisting on players being jabbed. Potentially losing money over the Christmas period won't go down well.

Then again, at this rate, they'll all be done and better by January/February.

By the time we get back into the stadium, all you’ll have to do is prove that you’re still alive.

Might be a struggle for some of the West Standers like.

Still alive and registered as a member. 

Just heard the game is back on as Doncaster have intervened. YHIHF ITK

I have a feeling of relief regarding this decision being taken away from me. 
 

The big positive though, I think, is that it gives our threadbare squad a welcome additional breather.

We should have played the COVID card before the last 2 games 😉

Probably no point wasting the Covid card on local derbies away, we all know what the results are going to be. Unless fans are banned from games, we'd probably win those aways.

I read that only 59% were double jabbed.  25% was how many had no intention of ever being vaccinated.  I'd like to think managers would prioritise players that have been jabbed, eg if a player's contract is running out in the summer and they are borderline about being offered another, as many players are at this level, let it be known that the vaccinated players are getting offered a contract instead of those more likely to catch and pass on Covid.

Depending when they tested positive Boxing Day will be touch & go with the 10 days

Just possibly if Baka and Jones are declared fit (and Covid free) there might be enough to field a decent enough team.  If all other things are equal, the club wont want to miss out on the income from a boxing day crowd compared to a tuesday night.  And I think IE would fancy playing Morecambe compared to playing Wycombe.

I would imagine that Morecambe will also have a say in it

Fancy both would be quite happy to face Evatt's Bolton too

I'd be quite happy to leave the 25% unvaccinated out of our squad forever. Let's focus on the sensible ones and ignore the morons

Thomason is unvaxxed - FACT 

Not a hope in hell Jones is fit for Boxing Day, he’s only just started running on grass.

Shrewsbury 22nd Jan I reckon is the realistic target

What about all the players who have collapsed on the pitch over the last few weeks , not much mention of that on here . I'm sure these players will have been vaccinated because if not the government would have been all over it with their get the booster propaganda. Aguero was pushing the jab for 12 year olds and now he's retired due to heart problems, strange that. Could it be possible that the 25% are a bit concerned about what's going on . I think the sensible ones are the players who are giving it a miss 🤔

Any proof it's because of the jab?

Or could it be effects of previous infection; be that covid or anything else?

Or maybe completely different reasons.

Conspiracies say otherwise though, and must be followed.

Yes

Footballers have never had these types of issue before Covid have they, Fabrice?

Care to list who "all the players who have collapsed" are? I'll give you Charlie Wyke for a kick off, who hadn't had any jabs at all. Next?

I’ve found 2 so far.

Lindelof (vax status unknown)

Wyke (unvaxxed)

 

You’re gonna need a bigger boat.

When the day comes (and it never will) that a link between the two is proven then perhaps we could revisit this
