I don’t give a monkeys if pitches were even worse back in the 1970s. It’s 2021 and our pitch is getting worse. Could be contributing to the amount of injuries we’re getting too. C'mon now Most of these posts are by posters who were in attendance when we last won the league back in the 30s. Pining for the times they can smoke a woodbine with the keeper at half time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dare say even our average lot now would outplay even the best sides we've had pre-1990. You can never compare generations, because give that era todays training etc they would be comparable. No it wasn't ticky tacka but it was football. The bigger issue was tactics, playing the offside trap, cynical fouls I loved Kevin Keegan as a kid and my Dad took me t'Lane to watch a few games. The dullest bore fests you can have ever seen. As my Dad said "I had to show you the dark side Son to show you the light" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought pitch dimensions had to be notified to EFL at the start of the season and kept the same for the season. If I’m correct in that it was a Monk decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they said we can't afford something to make it better do we all chuck a few bob at it? If they did say that it's just more ammunition for some to have a go at Chansiri. My point is that many complain about poor communication at this club. As supporters of the club many would like to be kept informed of some aspects of it. This is such a case. For example Swansea’s pitch was suffering from a grass disease and that was communicated. We knew the pitch was poor for years due to the flood and lack of funds, so most of us accepted that, rather than crucify the players when they took a bad touch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull@@@@ the side we've got now wouldn't outplay the 1880's side never mind the 1980's. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beighton Owl 87 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Loads of pitches in the Championship are not in the best of conditions at the minute due to the amount of games being played such a short period of time and the weather hasn't helped either. Even up in Scotland Celtic's pitch looks horrendous and their the biggest club up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
