Completely agree, in fifa if you can't field a full squad, you automatically lose that game 3-0, should be the same in the real world ;)Sara Pascoe wrote:I don't understand why they think it's all promising news. They forget that no one's going to want to play for them. What's stopping Doyle constantly saying 'Oh no I don't have a squad, postpone the game', when in reality he's just got a crap squad and wants to see if he can strengthen his hand?
If you don't have eleven players able to play a game then you should have to forfeit the game, simple as.
But seriously, it does seem ridiculous how lenient and accomodating the SL is being with them in regards to the postponed matches, I know they've already been punished with a 10 point deduction and there may not be much point in rubbing salt in the wounds, but it makes absolutely no sense to me how they're getting away with not being able to play these games, especially when you consider the Leamington situation, having things like programmes printed, only for the game to be called off at short notice and probably being a finacial blow, should be a further points deduction (however pointless that may be) at the very least!
And I find it interesting how Wellingborough's next 2 games are us and then K*ttering in the hillier cup, if they do manage to play that game, I imagine the game against us will be a much tougher one than the K*ttering one, despite us being in UCL Div 1, which also raises the point of how weak will their hastily put together squad be if they do manage to carry on, they'll be lucky to win another game this season if they can complete it.
