This stinks. Why? Not because of Grimsby, with 1 positive test, who have done the right thing by govt advice, nor Leyton Orient with a shedload of positive tests who correctly postponed and now been thrown out of the Carabao Cup.
So why in heavens were West Ham allowed to proceed with and win their game midweek when cand seem to be set to play on Sunday despite 3 positive tests? Surely track and trace protocols require the whole West Ham squad "bubble" to self isolate and may instead have infected Hull players?
As I say, it stinks.
I don't think you're wrong. If it is curtailed, though, it could be too early for a decision on places. It's possible that it will, in effect, just be abandoned.
I was thinking if you have to call matches off for Covid the opposition awarded the match 2-0, that would avoid a fixture pile-up. Probably even itself up over the season.
But thinkng about it, would just mean clubs not declaring they've got infections.
Problem is, given that EFL tests aren't mandatory, if a Club progresses in the Cup then potentially puts itself at a disadvantage because they're mandatory ahead of FA Cup ones I believe.I was thinking if you have to call matches off for Covid the opposition awarded the match 2-0, that would avoid a fixture pile-up.
