We could win this then?

Pools Panel says we lost on penalties!

John Yems has blamed the postponement on AFC Bournemouth not renewing his contract.

 

[AFCBade]

I thought that if you can’t fulfill the fixture you exit the cup but Shrewsbury allowed to rearrange it

 

[davidwhitehead]

I can't see official confirmation anywhere that the game is off. What's your source ?

 

[tedisking]

I would imagine it would be off.....but can't see any confirmation

Double edged sword this... Good time to get minutes for those that need it, but also gives the players some rest and more time to reflect and work on what's going on...

Time to get Billing fit again as well...

Not good, if true. Needed a game quickly to get players charged up and prepared to put on a professional showing - not the garbage of last night. Delays don't help us.

 

[Mark WFC]

As a result of the Crawley dressing room celebrating after the last round ?

Hopefully cancelled to avoid piling on more disappointment on our club in the last two weeks.

 

[kirsikka]

I'm a little concerned after last night that our players will turn up and fail to score against a team that isn't there.

 

[blandford_cherry]

Isn’t this the case that if they don’t have a separate bubble of youth or reserve players it’ll be postponed like Shrewsbury V saints?

 

[AlGard]

So, can we bring a league game forward to play on Saturday? Save a future congestion.

 

[Steady Eddie 1]

Hopefully cancelled to avoid piling more "embarrassment" on our club in the last two weeks.

Fixed that for you.!!!

The game will now be shown on BT Sport extra.

[Garbo]

...I hope that JT puts out the strongest team and gets them fired up to perform to their absolute best for this game no excuses!
