Team Vs Leyton Orient

[arunspurs]

MY XI
Hart
Aurier Foyth Toby Cirkin
Sissoko Winks
Lamela, Dele, Bergwijn
Lucas

 

[hughy]

Judging by that...

Hart
Aurier - CCV - Toby - Cirkin
Gedson - Sissoko
Lamela - Dele - Bergwijn
Kane​

I'd be seriously miffed if he kept Kane on for longer than necessary considering he's vital for both Thursday and Sunday.

[yankspurs]

Welp. This wont be going ahead, thankfully

Although it may not be a bad news for us, I sincerely hope that they can help a speedy recovery.

 

[chrissivad]

Doubt they will cancel.
Just remove those with the positive tests and pick a team with what's left.

That's seems to be the way

 

[kaz Hirai]

they didn't cancel our massive game against West ham when we all had the shits, think they'll just have to make do

Announcement says stadium and training ground has been closed so assume it’s off

maybe move it to our stadium?

Their first teamers out have been around their coaches & other players. This game simply cannot go ahead.

There will be more like this as covid cases spike again. I’d be surprised if theres no shut down.

 

[FibreOpticJesus]

The FL will have to make a decision pretty quickly. I cannot see how the game can go ahead. What happens if we play them and then our players catch it? We have more to lose.

 

[Trotter]

Will be announcement shortly.
Really option 3 options.

They have to play with a youth team (at our ground) and only with players testing negative.
They are temporarily allowed to sign a load of new players on (either loans or from non-league)
They forfeit match (it cannot be just delayed, as no date to fit in it before next round, or even round after that)

 

[BENNO]

Blimey, an illness outbreak that might actually favour us for one !

Note: Yes, obviously hope all involved are o.k.

Was that what they said on sky?

 

[Little Tommy Tucker]

I wish all the Orient players well but this could be a great break for us in our crazy schedule.

 

[Trotter]

Was that what they said on sky?

Yes in respect of announcement from EFL being shortly (although didn't pre-empt what they would say)
The rest is though to me only logical outcomes that could happen. e.g. they could play Youth, could sign on the whole Dagenham & Redbridge team for example on temporary loan (as a team from Kosovo did in Champs League qualifier as their first team had to isolate) or forfeit. I would suggest it will be forfeit (as per the rules that happen in Europa League and Champions League when game could not be fit in before following round).

Actually there is a fourth, worst case option, that is they re-instate Plymouth, but that would be unlikely

 

[carmeldevil]

This goes to show that Spurs players need to be very careful from now on when they are not on training grounds. Hopefully they all are in their own self-imposed bubbles.

 

[chas vs dave]

On talksport, they were advising that we will get a bye of Orient cannot play.

Seems harsh, but good for us.

 

[rez9000]

The schedule this month is absolutely bonkers! We played yesterday and I can't believe we're playing again tomorrow.

I think we should line up like this:

Bale

Bale - Bale - Bale - Reggie

Bale - Bale - Bale

Bale - Bale - Bale
​

Just a dream I had!

(I know he's injured - just joshing!)

I think Reggie should play, plus some of the second string. With Europa around the corner, I have an inkling that Jose will do just that.
