If we don’t get through into round 3 but Portsmouth do we could possibly play Shrewsbury or Tranmere ,but I think they will both get through.

Well Portsmouth got through by the skin of their teeth.Marquis subbed at half time again by the way.Shrewsbury also through to Round Three.So, unless we beat Gillingham we look like having a day off on 4th January.
Four matches not played for four different reasons, surely some sort of record

With Shrewsbury and Tranmere reaching the Third Round the possibility of rearranging one of those for Third Round day has gone down the swannee. The Bolton away game won't get rearranged until the EFL's appeal is heard (my guess is that quite a lot of people would like to slot that in the last couple of weeks of the season with nothing riding on it). The Bolton and Southend home games which are due to be played in midweek could in theory be pulled forward- neither team will have a game on 4th January. Then there is the possibility that we could schedule the Leasing Trophy for that day if we beat Leicester U-21s on Wednesday.Of course it might be that after a busy holiday period that the players would be better for a few days rest.
It might be possible to play the Bolton away game on 4th January as Bolton are due to play Blackpool on that day who are through to the 3rd Round. I doubt if Rovers would be keen to play even if the EFL appeal is sorted by then, as we have two home games already that week against Sunderland and Oxford.

Yes I suppose I could have made the comment yesterday, but I guess it is more irritating a situation after losing today and having another match free day.Edit: Now I think about it, if we include the Bury game there are 5 games not played for 5 different reasons.
No it’s 5 IDM Bury, Bolton, Tranmere, Shrewsbury and now Portsmouth.

Its media driven nonsense...You are quite correct Its nothing but twaddle always has been. It’s 3 games in 7 days instead of the 3 games in 8 days we get on a regular basis.
