Games in hand (3 Viewers)

[Jamiepwns]

Prefacing this with this is probably just me being incredibly thick.

So we should have 2 games in hand over the league (not including the postponements for Lizzy's funeral as no one played that week). Obviously one of those is against Wigan tonight, but they're already 2 ahead of us so will still be 2 ahead after the game.

Then there's 7 other games being played tonight, meaning at least another 14 teams will be 2 games ahead with us only having one postponement (Huddersfield) to catch up on.

Have I missed something?

This has been confusing me too

Glad I'm not the only one

Some teams have played the game they missed due to the Queen’s death already and some are playing it tonight.

 

[shmmeee]

Are other clubs playing their Queens funeral games while we’re playing out catchup?

 

[Balli001]

West brom and Huddersfield are our games in hand.
After tonight all teams have caught up bar the ones I mentioned

 

[GIMOC]

yes I think I can explain. I think tonight’s games are the postponements from the queens death. We already had Wigan booked in for a arranged game while the rest of the league have used this week to get that game in.

we had West Brom at home on the queens death and West Brom don’t have a game this midweek as we already had Wigan booked in. Hope this helps

Here’s another question: how come Sunderland play a game a week before the WC break ends but we couldn’t? Surely that would be better all round and we don’t have any players in the WC.

It's only

Cos Sunderland are shit and couldnt possibly have any International call ups, whereas we'll have a fair few in the semi-finals etc.

Some teams have played more than others but at the end of the season they will all have played the same number.

Ohhh that's how it worked. I thought we just carried on and then stopped once we'd had enough. Makes sense I guess.

Looks like this is it! Didn't even contemplate teams playing those games already.

Sunderland aren’t part of the world

Simple. If they play while people are still on the toilet, nobody gets hoyed

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

We won't need are game's in hand come the end of the season.

Have I read we're planning on nipping off to Spain for a week just prior to resuming the season ?
Somewhere different this time.

Yep that’s what Robins said

 

[robbiethemole]

With 4 weeks off and a camp in Spain, it’ll be almost like a full pre-season. A chance for players like KP to get up to speed properly and maybe others to recharge and go again.
I hope it doesn’t interrupt our momentum too much, but others teams have the same issues, and we hit the ground running up to Chrimbo and New Year.

Rightly or wrongly the powers that be see them as a League 1 team

KP has had more than enough time to get up to speed. I don't really see that as an excuse anymore.

He is up to speed

 

[robbiethemole]

Still not getting through 90 minutes tho

 

[stupot07]

He is up to speed

Exactly. If he's not up to speed now, he never will be. He's made 16 championship appearances out of a possible 18 and played in the only cup game.
