Oh no, we wanted three more points on the board not the hope of three from a game in hand.
A bird in the hand etc.

Don't worry, we'll cram half a season into quarter of a season while the other teams get to rest between their games.

All very predictable. "Due to injuries and COVID illness"? Sounds like Reading, et al want to use COVID as an excuse to get first team players well and back from injury. Maybe I am being emotional or too harsh, but it's become very sad that this is all happening again.

Wouldn't surprise me if the Swansea game was cancelled also. Could be mid-January before we play our next league game.

We will probably end up having to play 5 games in 10 days at some stage.

That is very likely to happen..

Surely there has to be some consideration given to our fixture pile up if we have more games postponed? Swansea isn't looking too clever atm..

This is going to seriously affect our promotion push

[WestSussexWhite]

Absolute joke of a decision. They had 17 players available this morning, so don't know why they can't play. Fulham and Reading were expecting the game to go on. We will now have to play 3 times a week Atleast 3 times in the 2nd half of the season whereas AFCB and West Brom won't. The Swansea game will be off too. We will be punished for keeping our squad fully fit and being Covid free.

Deal with the hand that fate has dealt you not with the hand you wish it had dealt you

[H4usuallysitting]

It's so bad, it's been postponed twice

[Stoneleigh Loyalist]

If we don't play on Monday and Bournemouth do they could suddenly be four points ahead of us and we would be in a must win situation.
That is how the luck goes!

This is going to seriously affect our promotion push

For the better. We have been so poor lately, this break could give Silva time to fix our current problems. And when it comes to fixture congestion later this season, we have a squad that dwarfs the other 23. We can cope whilst most couldn't.

[JohnG]

At least with these postponements we shall have any players signed in the January window available (if any, centre back & midfield?) and hopefully integrated into the squad before we have to play the postponements and hopefully we will have adopted a more aggressive (direct) and physical style of play that many of our opponents adopt before then. Automatic promotion is is MUST and there is a real chance of it slipping away. CLASS ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH!

[Blawarmy]

Reading must be playing a game here. No way they don't have enough players from first team and the youth setup.  Seems the EFL aren't investigating. Does a club just say we can't play and the match gets postponed? It looks that way!
