Warnock's Rant

[lisvaneblue]

In his pre-match interview ahead of the Birmingham game NW had a real go at the football League for re-arranging the Burton fixture on Friday 30 March ( rather than the original date of 31st) because of the pressure on his returning international players. I think he said it would be ridiculous to play and the League should be contacted about it.

A week or so later at his interview pre Derby he changed his tone and said it really only affected Callum Patterson who was playing in Hungary on the 27th, so it was no big deal.

A glance at the CCFC website suggests that Neil Ethridge, Marko Grujic, and Armand Traore are also likely to play on 27th, all of them further afield than Hungary.

So what's change. Maybe the realisation that the fixture change was nothing to do with the Football League rather a decision of the Club.

Let's hope it doesn't come back to bite us!

I wonder why 10 out of 12 Championship fixtures were moved to the Friday.

Could work in our favour.

With Sheff Utd being on Monday we have an extra day's rest on Wolves.. and then playing them on a Friday gives us an extra days rest on Villa.

Etheridge is s keeper. So shouldn't bother him.
Traore is a squad player so it's only Grujic and Patterson to worry about.

They are both young players.

Hopefully both will be OK. If Gunnar is ready then maybe Grujic will just play 60 on Friday.

Patterson comes across as someone who'd play every day if he could
