Press Conference 2pm

[Jedi boro]

So, let’s get this straight. From now on, no other Championship game is to be called off this season due to covid?!

Apart from Luton Coventry tomorrow for err COVID

 

[Yearbyred]

Still no sign of wilders press conference????

It’s been and gone. 20 minute interview on BBC Tees tells you all you need to know.

Looking on the positive side, back in the day the EFL's decision would deffo have caused the old board to crash. Silver linings eh.

 

[Jonny Ingbar]

Maybe this is payback from the EFL for Gibson suing them over the Derby debacle.

I say this tongue in cheek of course, but when there is such blatant and obvious inconsistency then it does lead to wild speculation.

Surely a number of currently available players can say they have symptoms in the morning and will need to therefore get a test, and will have to isolate until they receive their result, meaning we won’t have 14 players available.

Any fans going, remember to take your football boots…

There are already a number of players with symptoms currently isolating in Sheffield, if they don't test positive(not sure if they're even doing another test now as you can't test matchdays) then they'll play tomorrow.

But the EFL have banned match day testing, which assumes they will not accept further Covid cases as a reason.

 

[Craggsy2]

We’ll get docked 3 points for fielding an ineligible recalled player I bet!

And could it be the 3 points that costs us promotion or a place in the playoffs?

Or an absolute dream for Tony Pulis

I read that twice before the penny dropped.

The EFL's medical advisors have agreed testing on the day of the game only needs to happen if a player is showing symptoms of Covid.They have not banned testing just not compulsory for of the match day squad.

[Philly-Red]

It’s off - club just confirmed.

 

[r00fie1]

A good job Warnock isn't still manager as they would probably make Boro field a team of canteen staff.

I think he turned us into a Macdonalds by the time he`d finished!!

 

[Muttley]

Bugggeration for those looking forward to the game or with tickets that might not be able to make a rearranged game but it seems sensible given the reported extent of the outbreak.
