Will he make much difference he played 31 games last season when covid kept us up.

Heard that the youth team have quite a lot of positive cases, if the first team and youth team train together then this could be how it has spread amongst the first team

I think they are in seperate bubbles hence why we only had 4 subs the other week as we couldn't call any youth players up to fill the gap in the squad.

Delighted.. A few injuries, terrible form and as alluded to by others, one less game for Keates to ruin.

You would like to think that this is surely the way the club is currently functioning and on medical grounds would be the sensible approach - the less players mix are the less numbers has got to be a good thing - then we all get onto a cramped coach together for a trip to & from Solihull - that to me is the downfall, not just for Wrexham but throughout football.

Bubble protocols and ‘covid secure’ dont mean a great deal.

Worrying stuff for athletes as young people with ‘mild’ cases can be grim, with some having long term effects.

Hopefully all are ok now and longer term.

Hopefully there are no unknowingly spread second or third external infections as a result to vulnerable people.

Sensible thing would be to pause the league until the start of December. It is beginning to look like covid is spreading at a faster rate than in the general population.

I think that the lower the league the more likely precautions fail. There have been more postponements in League 1/ 2 / National league due to Covid than the leagues above. Young footballers mixing outside the bubble to blame?

Probably because there is no compulsory testing in place at league 1 and below rather than just blaming the young which seems to be your first point of call.
