Hi, does any one know if we have played a friendly?

As far as I know we haven’t no. We played an 11v11 in house game with the 23’s today but yeah no proper friendly.

Poor imo as every other team seems to have played 1 if not 2 friendlies.

Why is it poor?

If the squad have been together and no positive C.V. tests prior to the restart - why would you want to risk potentially picking up C.V. during a friendly?

Look at latest results with Norwich now having a positive test - did that come from a friendly? Surely they’ll have to follow the guidelines and anyone who came into contact with that player will have to self isolate for 14 days which may knacker their chances of survival.

I realise friendlies may give a competitive edge, but in this situation I’ think the risk out weighs the benfit - want as many as the squad available for the derby as possible - whatever happens when the season starts regarding risks will potentially be the same for all teams.

It’s poor because pretty much every other team has played 1 or 2 friendlies. We’ve played 0 which puts us at a disadvantage.

Poor planning/ preparation in my book.

Didn't Norwich play spurs in a friendly and no spurs players have been told to self isolate which I find rather strange.
