I think we can re-register them but it doesn't matter anyway neither are fit , Wes isn't even in the UK

Yes but in case of Germany Bayern and Dortmund at top of league fighting for title , Bayern play home game backed by home fans Dortmund play home game with no fans ..its not really fair at all.Teams have no fans in stadium has been a punishment for years now its allowed and no allowance is made for how this disadvantages the team.

Newcastle are shocking to watch and lowest in so many stats but yeah they look pretty safe as they don't concede to many and get a lot of draws.Our issue is we try and play an expansive game and get taken apart.I can't recall many games this season where we haven't conceded a high amount of chances , in fact taking games where we played 10 men even then the opposition had chances and in Watfords case scored.As a defensive unit we are a shambles all over.

So looks like the 4 of us playing the game in hand then have to play another game a few days later against teams who have yet to play since the stoppage , will the extra match fitness help us or will fresher legs tell .

Just rewatched highlights of the first game against Shef United , they battered us ..recall last season in the 3-3 they did the same but somehow fell apart to let us draw.Very well coached and they are brilliant at over laps with the Wing backs

After todays German games win % for home teams is 19% V 43% pre stoppage , only 3 games in so small sample but bit concerning for us with 6 home games left

Vote to resume full contact training has passed

An example I look at is Fred at United , look awful for them and a really bad signing for a good while but now he is up to speed he is integral to the team.Our issue we got too many players who needed time to adjust.

I agree for the most part and have said for a while ( not just this season ) we lack a big physical CM. We lack the ability to bully teams which you need when battling to stay up.

I think we might ... He looked off the pace to start with but did still have some ok touches on the ball . Chelsea I don't blame him its a typical Chelsea buy british player to keep the squad quota up, I never understood why they wanted him he was basically another Sidewell there was never going to play much. Burnley thats on him for getting involved in off field issues that caused him to miss preseason He has one thing none of the rest have ..experience in staying up in a relegation fight.Before the league stopped my opinion was he was too far off the pace to be any use , this break should even up the players fitness levels so he is back at same level ..in theory.As it stands he is our player so i'll give him benefit of the doubt and get behind him the same as the rest of the squad.

Watford have 2 more players isolating as well as Deeney not training

McGinn and Drinkwater will be at same level as every one else now as everyone has had a long break , listening to interviews some have literally not kicked a ball in weeks

Yes like all the clubs that wanted FFP they have huge income which is what FFP is judged on.So if you have a rich owner he/she can't spend as the clubs income is what FFP is judged on , but as their spending is limited they can't grow the club to increase the income .It's designed to keep the status quo. City and PSG have no debt but FFP is a constant issue for them

Doesn't look like it , first the PL need to allow us to re-register them , then they need to be fully fit.From time frames given maybe going into August Wes might be fit but would have no match fitness .

4 of those teams can make Champs league , especially if it goes to 5th place. The most winable games we have left are Palace and Newcastle IMO .United were in form before league stopped and have Rashford and Pogba back .As for West Ham thats potentially a winner stays up 6 pointer could go either way

Been a pic of him today Him /Hause /Luiz /Vassilev and Davis so far today

It's not even Zonal only Mings is zonal as a free man to attack the corners , the rest man mark ..poorly and yes its pointed out by pundits and yet we still keep doing it

Yes and our record against teams above us wasn't great either It was always going to be tough but we needed to be hard to beat and get some draws instead we have too open and picked apart and quite literally can not defend from corners

Yes but 1) We have more home games left than others 2) Most out our points come at home so we are one of the ones most effected Back to EFL as far as I see it teams can now do the maths and see where they get on ppg and vote ,so Championship may still not actually play to a finish .If your Leeds and WBA you will vote to end it as pointless playing games that could see you g out of top 2 when PPG guarantees staying there .L2/L1 can't really afford to play it needs 51% vote across 3 leagues to not play I wouldnt be surprised to see them get that

I think we are allowed to re-register them , as the 2 players we added Drinkwater and Reina can leave 1st June But its a non starter as neither are fit and Wes is still in Brazil

Considering most our points and best performances have come at home I'd say playing with no fans at home will hurt us

Argument at moment seems to be if they end season your relegated but they will allow play offs to happen for promotion ...

Exactly it was always designed in a way to keep those already at the top , at the top.Notice all the clubs who seem to have issues with FFP are ones with new owners ....

Belive they did , the point is FFP says owners can't put money in and you can't spend above earnings yet United can continually run with a massive growing debt whilst spending huge amounts on players its a joke.
