We’re in the middle of an extraordinary season. We haven’t experienced anything like this one before.
All supporters, all players, management staff, community volunteers, office and academy staff and students, in fact everybody associated with the club, has had to adjust to a new football world.
I write this on the second Saturday in a row when we haven’t had a fixture to enjoy. This time it’s not Dulwich’s floodlights collapsing onto their pitch and doing serious damage but a Covid outbreak in our own group of players and management staff.
My first thought is with those infected. I hope they recover quickly with few effects and no lasting damage. I hope too they don’t spread the virus around. The squad should be back training by 16th December and have a small window in which to train again and prepare for FA Trophy games. Let’s hope the players can keep fit and come back roaring to play and we can make progress in the Trophy to make amends for our calamity in the FA Cup at Wimborne.
