Reading this we’ve had confirmation from the EFL we’ve done everything right

Let's hope they picked up the phone to that moaning illegitimate from Bradford and let him know first  

I suppose if your job is Director of Communication, you're in a job with very little to actually do and probably the only person with that title in this division...

There’s something very odd going on here, the EFL need to come out and explain exactly why we’ve had different advice from everyone else.

The EFL statement suggests we’ve done this ourselves and it was our choice. So was this EFL advice at all or was it us using the government protocol instead?

One days training in 2 weeks before Bolton is essentially throwing that game away as well.

Chance to get more players back but we'll be playing two games a week now when others get a week off.....hmnnn

It has really surprised me that the EFL have got back to us on this today. I was expecting it to take 3 or 4 days before they made a decision.

Well done EFL.......for a change

Sounds like a risky strategy this - call your own games off then dare the EFL to take action against you.

Might work out, and the players have got a fortnight off to come back from injury, but it’s two weeks off the training pitch.

Also might go badly wrong & result in a points deduction.

Just gamemanship. He wanted to play us now when we're struggling. Complaining about a match "suddenly" getting called off with over a week to go. Hopefully, we'll stuff them in the rearranged game and they miss out on the play-offs by 1 point and he spends the rest of his life kicking himself.

There’s certainly gamesmanship going on but I’m not sure it’s from Bradford.

Seems like we’re scared to play now , we’ve bought half our squad in the week before the season kicked off and have looked terrible in the games we’ve played .
