This will certainly put a bit of a bit of a wrench in our plans.
Now it’s just going to be a case of how we deal with it going forward, not just for the next couple of days but weeks as well. West Ham United were hit with news before kick-off that David Moyes, Issa Diop and Josh Cullen all failed tests ahead of the game, forcing a few changes to the personnel both in the dugout and on the pitch.
Now there are some that were pondering on social media why our game was allowed to go ahead whilst just a stone’s throw away at Leyton Orient, the game was called off for similar reasons. And whilst he couldn’t explain the reasoning behind the decision at Brisbane Road, West Ham journalist was able to explain why our game was able to go ahead:
Right, as I understand it. The rest of the squad are allowed to play because they have all returned negative tests. Social distancing and other protocols put in place between test and results to make sure there is no spread. Only the two players and Moyes need to isolate. #WHUFC

So that takes care of that, now the question will be, as I said, how we deal with this going forward considering that we have another game on Sunday night. I guess we’ll just have to wait and find out.
What about you? Were you comfortable with the game taking place? Or given the circumstances would you rather the game be delayed in some fashion to sort something out?
