Ajayi, Crew, and Grehan aren't even regular starters. It would be madness to call the game off when we're in winning form.

Post by: karldew on August 25, 2025, 10:14:02 pm: If we have 3 called up no doubt we’ll PP the game until a later date.

Not sure how many Bradford have?

Post by: RoversInSpain on August 25, 2025, 11:11:32 pm: We can do what’s best for us at that time. If we’ve a couple out injured we can play the international joker.

Think it will have been postponed already if it was considering its basically just over 10 days away

Post by: IDM on August 26, 2025, 10:10:08 am: Or when the squads are announced.?
Title: Re: Bradford game
Post by: Chris Black come back on August 26, 2025, 10:10:36 am: Squads get confirmed later this week. That will be the trigger.

The full England squad for the Andorra & Serbia matches is to be announced on Friday 29th August, so I guess other squads will be announced at roughly the same time.

Post by: Usher wide. on August 26, 2025, 05:42:27 pm: It’s a ‘wait & see’ then as far as I can make out.

For personal reasons, hoping it’s postponed until the Monday.

Would it be likely to be played on the Monday if it is called off.
It would be a bit unfair on Owen Bailey too if he was making his England debut on Saturday and then asked to play again on Monday. ;-)
