COVID-19 & Football

Postby Keith » Sat Dec 26, 2020 2:52 pm

Just been talking on Radio Lancashire about COVID-19.

I had [wrongly] thought that players down to League Two were being tested regularly. Apparently, that isn't the case. Our players will only be tested prior to the FA Cup, but not before then.

Probably too late now, but I wonder whether we should have tested prior to Christmas, so that if we did have any COVID-19 positive staff and/or players, they could have isolated before the Chelsea match?

Alternatively, if we had to postpone any games, would we rather lose the Chelsea match and get thrown out of the FA Cup, but not have a League Two fixture backlog? I kind of think, I'd rather miss Chelsea than League games. Losing games due to COVID-19 when we're in such a great position would be really frustrating, if we ended the season with too many matches in short time period, then missed out on Play Offs or even automatic promotion, then the Chelsea game is irrelevant.

Weird world, weird season.

Weird indeed.
Also, with talk of some sort of new heavy lockdown around we could really do with keeping in and staying in the playoffs on a points per game basis. At the moment we would be pushed out by Salford - if the season was to end prematurely, unless we win today and they lose.

Ohh, that's something else to consider. I'm even more confused than normal! I *think* if we can turn this Grimsby game from a draw (as it is at the moment) in to a win, then I think we'd be above Exeter in Points Per Game.

Is this O/T or are we signing a lad called Coid?

Yes, and he's only 19.

Typo corrected now.

No, I think :? both Exeter and Cambridge would be ahead of us because of goal difference at the moment

Is there a complex formula? I just divided total points by number of games played.

Morecambe: 34÷20=1.7
Exeter & Cambridge: 31÷19=1.63

Yes, I think you're right (and I was wrong). So.if the league gets stopped on Monday we will play Salford? in the play off semi-finals at some point in the future. Exeter in the final at the Mazuma? :D
