Team to travel to Burnley.

[Baston White]

Team tested again today - results due tomorrow.
Game still in doubt.

[WhiteJC]

surely some of the team can't have trained with the others, so set pieces could be interesting, both defending and taking?

this is my worry. If game goes ahead we will be severely weakened .

[Baston White]

Players who proved positive are still in isolation in line with government protocols.
Could be we will have to field a weakened team with fewer subs.

cant we call up some of the 23s. I'd like to see jasper tiehi and cav called up.

All three would be great, perhaps even start one of them - especially Cav. No fear in that lad and he's built well for a physical game.

Yep sounds like we're getting screwed here

If there are any more positive tests we should conceal them. Firstly so the affected players can still play. Secondly to spread the virus to the Burnley players so they have the same problem to deal with next week.

Whether we like it or not we have squad of 25 players before we start adding in the u23 players.  If the money & tv people get their way then the Burnley game goes ahead.

Parker, again, talks sense in his pre-match interview but I fear that the game has long ago lost any integrity &/or knowledge of 'doing the right thing'.

I share your concerns, but it is what it is. So we face the challenge with 11 good men whoever they are plus whoever can make the bench. We may find one or two of the U/23s can influence and have a positive impact on the game, the enthusiasm of youth etc, and all we have to do is defend it and score at least one goal. It will be a test to see how mentally strong the 11 that will take the field of play. It is going to happen sometime, and the rest of the squad who normally sit on the bench may be called into action and will do their best to not let the team down.
That is the challenge and if we have to meet it, then let us brace ourselves and play without fear.
I hope we do play Burnley as I hold no fear of them, it will separate the men from boys.   
If the game goes ahead fulhamben you must promise me you will have a good nights sleep tomorrow.
If we are going to stay up we need to win these kind of games, at the very least come away with a point, Fulham have to earn their membership of this League, we cannot dwell on worrying about who may not play, we have to concern ourselves on who will play and ensure they give it their best shot, and we should have the strength in depth, that is why we have a squad.

At least we're playing Burnley and not one of the top of the table in form sides - wouldn't like to be facing Man U or Everton away with a depleted team

[JoelH5]

If this goes ahead we've been absolutely shafted. Forced to field a weakened team in a massive game. Fcuk the PL. Once again we get done over.

That would be much better as although the GD may take a bit, we'd not be expecting any points in reality. This is a 6 pointer. A game that really matters

[Asotosyios]

Manchester City are without 5 players for their game against Chelsea, so perhaps something similar will happen with us.

not sure its the prems fault. we were lucky to get the spurs game postponed

[Finnans Right Peg]

Not sure how it works but are the lads that wer out. Of the 25 man squad allowed back in now its January or how does it work so could we now use stef jo and kev mac and josh if fit

This is a really important question if the rumors about who has been affected are true. We don't have a central midfield and these three could be very important.

Think it was 1951 we last won at Turf Moor 30 odd games league and cups also very few draws.
My first trip 1972 1-1.
Been half a dozen times since all lost,

[Fernhurst]

Any rumours???
Game on or off???

heres scott press conference from earlier. judging by it, as long as we have 14 players then its on. so i pressume it all depends on the latest testing
