From Stoke's Oatcake forum: Their players went to London for a Xmas 'bash'. In which case, how f&cking stupid (and not our fault!..................

I wonder if 6 is the best case scenario?'

If Derby is off I’d think our game will be, there’s talk on Talksport of the whole Boxing Day program possibly being in doubt.

Guidance has just been published. Clubs who haven't had their squads mass infect themselves shouldn't be punished

Rooney has said Derby can’t fill a bench at the minute due to the covid outbreak there so I’d assume they’re below the 14 player mark that the EFL have stated in that statement posted above.

If Stoke only have 5 cases then the game should go ahead. Let’s see what the EFL do….

It only mentions players though, what happens if staff are out too?

Don't think you can blame Stoke players for going on a Christmas party. Ours did the same after the WBA game. Its not against any rules

Difference is we played the next week's game after being tested.

If they went out and can't play the next game because they all have COVID.

So they got covid and we didn’t. It could’ve happened to either team.

It looks as if Stoke have 27 "first teamers" and then 7 with squad numbers in the U23.

If they have 5 Covid and 6 injured with normal injuries...how big is their squad?

It will be on a completely case by case basis depending on the club? Some clubs will have big staffs. Some like us will have small ones. It will just be a common sense approach (if the EFL have that)

So the EFL should insist they play, otherwise we will have the three points.

Incredible

' Tactically, with 5 out to injury already, makes sense to try and get it cancelled. I wonder if that was in their thinking when they sanctioned the chrimbo party '

They haven't with staff? What are you on about? It's quite easy to do with players as it's the minimum required for a team. It doesn't work for staff?

To be fair that is the same story as we already now.

It will be off though as it seems if you ask they will say yes
