We didn’t have to postpone it but because we got the minimum number of call-ups required, we did. Now we know the players missing are; Bedeau, Jones and Kouyhar do you think it's the correct decision. Without these 3 players would it greatly impact the chance of getting a good result?

Personally, I think I’d have just played it as right now we are in a good spell of form and as it’s is only three players, I think we’ve got a big enough squad to cope. Also in a way I feel like it gives the message that some players aren’t good enough, it’s almost as if without these 3 players getting win is impossible.

What do you think?

I think it was a borderline decision, but on balance I think it is the right decision.

Losing three important members of the squad, particularly Jones & Bedeau, who would have most probably have been in the starting eleven, would have been a big miss.

It could easily have been four but Jatta wasn't selected for his Country this time. The players are starting to find their form together & I think it was important for all those players to be available, for the Swindon match, which would have been a tough one anyway.

The only negative of course is that Notts will lose some ground on the leaders by not playing, but I do think that the decision not to play is indicative of the Notts new way of not allowing your opponents get any sort of advantage if at all possible.

It's always a tricky decision to make. Kouyhar is a fringe player right now, but the other two are starters and we would probably be weaker without them (although we've no shortage of alternatives for Jones). On the other hand, postponing it could lead to a fixture pile-up further down the line. And who's to say we won't have more injuries by then?

On top of that, a rescheduled match would likely be midweek, which is less fan-friendly. nd football is a spectator sport after all.

So I can see both sides of it. It's a tricky decision with a lot of second-guessing involved.

The other aspect worth considering is Swindon are in really good form at the moment. We might find playing them later in season a better option for us. Especially as we are getting better but not yet the finished article. Only time will tell I suppose.

Correct decision to postpone
