We should have postponed this Wigan team facing us this afternoon I fear a mauling oh I do hope I’m wrong

 

[Eaststanding]

For the two games when covid hit recently we fought hard and got results.
Today, we’ll need to fight even harder to get anything from this game.

Fight very hard

Three senior players on the bench makes 14 and one is a keeper, so we couldn't have even if we wanted to according to the EFL regulations.
I fear that the disruption has come too late...we had the chance to establish a game plan the last time. Really, really have to keep it tight in the first 20 minutes otherwise this could end bad.

If we have 14 players and a goalkeeper we can't, can we?

 

[Blox21]

Fans really need to play a part today .

 

[tonto]

Scary time. Have Wigan got any absentees?

Apparently not but like I’m sure a couple of clubs have increased there situation to get the game off. If not Portsmouth must have at least 10 off with covid

 

[unification]

Bloomin’ hell. Didn’t realise we had so many out. It’s almost as bad (if not worse) when we had to postpone the away fixture.

One to muddle through for now, I guess.

 

[uptheus]

I think we will lose today but no shame in that with the players out.

No other club would give a s**t that we have a weakened team with very key players out. Not sure why we’re risking this. Henry holding the middle seems like a disaster, but I hope I’m wrong.

Against Fleetwood, yeah, but Wigan!

A Premier League statement said: "After reviewing all the new information provided by Aston Villa this morning and receiving separate medical advice, the [Premier League] Board approved the request as a result of the club not having enough players to field a team."

I'm concerned another 7-0 is incoming

 

[Tomox]

Think Henry might be injured

 

[bazzer9461]

Henry limping off

 

[bazzer9461]

We have to cancel this is now getting ridiculous

 

[unification]

FFS

 

[chuckbert]

Big game for Henry.

Or possibly not.

Willo cdm now surely.

 

[BarrySpang]

Looks like Mousinho comes in to the side
