As we don't pass the ball along the ground much I don't see the problem. :wink:

The pitch was crap in 05/06 and we managed ok. Don't Swansea have rugby on there pitch? It looked way better than ours on Saturday.

Well everyone seems to be unconcerned with the impact the pitch might have.
Did you see the way in which we couldn't string 2 passes together ?

Our passing has got visibly worse and it must be the pitch, unless we've just become crap !

In fact, thinking back to QPR and the passing there.....we are crap !

Seriously needs changing though.....looks shocking on TV and is being described as a 'sticky pitch' on SKY / BBC etc.

And Finally.....People saying the pitch was bad in previous seasons have better memories than me. I don't ever recall the pitch being as bad as this

Me neither - this year is the worst I can remember

Last game I noticed many occasions where attempted crosses or passes down the line were sliced
After ruling out lack of ability as a possible cause :shock: I started watching out for bobbles and it was evident that the pitch was causing a lot of the problems

Certain areas of the pitch a couple of seasons ago were patch repaired before the whole pitch was resurfaced. Wasn't there a report of a hole opening up just after this was completed. Somewhere near the dugouts.

It was in a terrible state 2 years ago, they didnt stop going on about it on MOTD. Sonko did his knee on it remember?

The worst state the pitch has been in was the 1st year in 98/9. Awful mess.
