I hope they can get another game to replace it, just 1 more pre season game before the season starts isn't great.

FFS. We need a minor preseason with our first teamers. Don’t want another season to start with a performance like last season’s opener.

Really hope they can arrange another game. Players need a pre season

So that leaves one pre-season friendly for the first team players. Could be in for a repeat of last years horror opener against Palace.

Wonder who the “small number” are?

I hope they organise a pre-season friendly in place of this game even if it’s behind closed doors.

Given our pre season record so far, probably a good thing to avoid another failure to win.

I don't see why we can't fit a game in on the Tuesday before the Leeds game.

Maybe they have already arranged a behind closed door game to have the starting 11 Vs Leeds get some minutes together without leaking the lineup.

Who cares about failure to win pre-season games? I am more worried about our fitness and rhythm going into the season. I would absolutely hate to get hammered by fecking Leeds.

Bit of a concern considering the last two seasons have been very slow starts. I know it's a marathon and not a sprint but it's unlucky so many of our players went so far in the Euros.

Players and staff have tested positive. Let’s hope for a full and quick recovery - clubs need to encourage their players to get vaccinated ASAP.
You can still get covid if you’ve been vaccinated, I know two people personally who have tested positive after receiving both shots.
