So the positive tests who isolated were free to roam on Tuesday and the negative ones from yesterday.
Do you think it'll be reflected in the squad? Wonder if any are still affected by the symptoms?
It seems like the squad were kept busy doing video training and all that.
Cheltenham are meant to be quite handy aren't they. Should be a tough match to come back into.

I wonder if the players who tested positive will be well enough to play as in still feeling any side affects.

I can’t see there being any chance that the squad would not have been affected ! If they haven’t been able to train properly and Cheltenham have then we’re in for a beating . Any lingering effects from the virus ;ie flu like symptoms ,will be felt quite quickly . But Does anybody know who has been affected though ?

I think you can take your guesses on who it was from situations we saw on the pitch at Oldham, a few early and strange substitutions, etc

Anyone know when the starting 11 will be announced? I'm tired of putting names on BigRon's prediction league only to find they never leave the bench - or the bus!

Judd should OK. He’s been isolating for the whole season.

Today’s the day we see whether Widdowson really can cut it as a centre back...

Decent starting xi. Strong bench in normal circumstances. Ross has his work cut out today.

Today’s the day we see whether Widdowson really can cut it as a centre back... Hope he does OK. He has the playing experience. The club have talked the talk. Now he needs to walk the walk. I like him as a LB. maybe after today I’ll like him at CB too.

Ooh look, our RB plays 10 metres inside the touch line and the opposition throws a wide man forward. How many times are we going to give chances away for free?

2nd goal. Free cross from..... I give up!

Widdowson at fault for both.
Why do we carry on with this.

2nd goal. Free cross from..... I give up! Wilkinson is playing RB with Ling somewhere in no mans land. No point in complaining, nothing will change. Thus far Widdowson is showing exactly why he is no CB. We look fragile Dennis looks good. Jobi his usual competent self. Cisse calm and assured as usual. Brophy wasted at LB and when the heck will we see him use his right foot. so let’s wait for all the excuses to roll out. Thing is, we are second best.

Toothless. Covid or no Covid organsation should be standard.
Widdowson at the back is a joke, Brophy is wasted there.
No snap in midfield and I see no point in Cisse carrying on.
Attacking wise Johnson looked sharp enough and Dennis has played well. Wilkinson has been fed scraps.
I'd take Cisse off immediately for JMD. Sotiriou needs to come in for some spark.
No idea with the logic down the right hand side. Ling is definitely not picking up their wide left player under instruction. It must be because even my natural instinct is to go and mark him.

And another thing... Set pieces.
We look terrible at both attacking and defending them. I thought Senda was brought in as a bit of a set piece specialist to try and liven it up.
Under hit, over hit, lofted balls into no man's land.
Compare that to Cheltenham's set pieces. They're aiming straight into the area between the 6 yard box and the penalty spot every single time. Mainly picking out Widdowson.
Set pieces don't need fitness so there's no excuse there.

Yet Brophy picks up their guy on their right no matter how wide he is. It seems like all the other clubs know about it and enjoy a day of freedom down their left.

Better second half. But way off the races. Only Jobi comes out with any credit here.

Drab performance and that's to be expected. I just can't understand why we give up the right hand side to everyone.
