Pre-season 2021/22

To be fair to Burnley, I couldn't see them wanting to risk it for a friendly.
Not ideal preparation for the new season at all, but it is what it is.

We've been pretty lucky so far as a club, but it's bound to affect every club this year.

That's my first thought in fairness, we were probably due one.

Hopefully it will calm down when the players - like most young adults in the 20-30 age group - have been double jabbed. Given that the new variant has a shorter incubation then we'll probably know by the weekend how much it's spread.

Burnley game is cancelled

Not totally unexpected given the Villa game and isolation. Can't be great preseason prep though. Wonder how training has been affected too.

Isolation period should be over by first game but not so confident about getting a result at Cov now.

Indeed - especially as it look likely that we'll have to rely on a number of younger, and returning loan players early in the season. Could do with getting minutes under their belts to (re)integrate into the team.

I'd assume that CH will be trying hastily to arrange a behind-closed-doors game-or-two before Coventry, because yesterday's game at Villa and the Burnley match would have been vital in building fitness-levels in anticipation of Sunday-week.

Surprised it took them so long to cancel it tbh. If our players had tested positive before the game yesterday surely the rest would be isolating anyway?

I am more concerned about the cancelation of the pre-season games than the lack of signings.

Are we EVER gonna get to go back to football ???? :LOL:

Yes, but the season will be delayed for six months, and in that time frame Hughton will accept a job in the UAE and Forest will offer Steve Cotterill the chance to emulate the great Billy Davies by returning to the club for unfinished business.

I did have to laugh that I checked my phone after my ticket got posted and they posted the game had been cancelled.
