3 matches tonight:
Weymouth v Yeovil (21st v 19th) Solihull v Chesterfield (17th v 16th) Stockport v Eastleigh (4th v 14th)
The last one is the most interesting, of course because if Stockport win, we drop to 4th. Both these sides could have overtaken us by now with their games in hand, but their recent form (Stockport have only won once in the last 5 and Eastleigh have not won at all in their last 5) have handed us the initiative, Stockport could go one point above us if they win, but we would have 2 games in hand. An Eastleigh win would put them 3 points behind us having played a game more.

Although Stockport's FA cup tie isn't being played until Monday, so they will have almost a week to prepare.

Stockport v Eastleigh has been called off following a positive Covid test in the Eastleigh squad. So we will be in 3rd next time we play (assuming all is fine for Saturday). It also means that Eastleigh will have their next 2 league games postponed (against Notts C and Wrexham). Their next league game is going to be home to Kings Lynn, after which their first Saturday league game of the season will be away to Us.

We cheer on Yeovil after the favour they did us (and everybody else!) on Saturday.

Slight diversion: Dagenham & Redbridge have today called off their league match at Solihull this Saturday because "a number of staff members" (not players) have tested positive. As a consequence, the playing squad are self-isolating. I think this will be for 10 days, which would end a day or two before our Trophy match against them on Saturday week.

A quick question, I don't understand why a single case causes a postponement in say the National League yet Man City had 6 players / staff isolating, and then I think Spurs match at Everton was called off at the last minute due to COVID.
Does anyone actually know what the rules are?

Maybe Premier League clubs have separate bubbles within the squad due to size?
I'm only guessing but is it easier for lower league clubs to have the entire squad tested as a whole?
Can't think of any obvious reason anyway.

Every case is judged on its own circumstances. So for example, four players testing positive would not necessarily cause a postponement if those players had been apart from the rest of the squad when they became symptomatic and the others have since all tested negative, but one player could trigger a postponement if he was with the whole squad yesterday before feeling unwell. And a myriad of variations in between.
