Excellent to hear from the Ref. Much better communication than the Premier League can muster!

On a different note why are all the midweek games scheduled for evening kick offs with no crowds at the moment?

Agree about the ref interview - he came across well, and thanks to him for the explanation.

Your point about afternoon kick-offs is also a good one. I wonder if the EFL is concerned that providing iFollow at that time may cause a drop in income from those who might be working away from their home.
I did think about the iFollow point - I know that it wouldn’t suit all but at say 4pm I think that many would still be able to watch. A lot of the guys that are working away from home are in jobs where hours are more in shift patterns anyway so evening KO’s don’t suit everyone either.

This game was playable at 4pm.
I think it's very unusual for the passage of a few hours to make as much difference as it did last night.

I was only putting forward what I thought might be in the minds of the EFL.

My own view is that if both teams and the match officials are there and the pitch is playable they should just get on with it. That would also have suited Exeter as they had a long journey home.

Anyone know what our 22 man squad is for the rest of the season,Jolley said on RC that it was the ones on the team sheet for the Cambridge game plus and Jolley and Goodacre and four others so that’s four out of a possible dozen,as we have had to register them it’s no secret so why the hold back the information to the fans,I haven’t seen anything on the website so can we have some better PR
