EFL look to avoid late cancellations by cancelling on the day tests.

This will lead to players who are positive for Covid travelling and playing alongside some who haven't.

EFL players wanted a circuit breakers. EFL turned it down due to finances and pressure from the TV companies.

Awful decision, now teams who don’t fancy playing their next game will have to decide way in advance if they want to get it postponed.

Clubs are still testing as they deem it a responsible thing to do in terms of player welfare. The EFL have only said it is no longer mandatory.

If a club on the day of the game says they don't have enough players to fulfil the fixture due to covid the EFL can't really force them to play.

I see, so completely pointless then.

That postponement shows how ludicrous that EFL decision is in the first place. The equivalent of saying you don’t need to take a Covid test on your birthday, because it’d be a shame to cancel your party if you’re positive.
