flynnroy   10 #2 Posted August 9, 2015 i stated this in earlier post 4/8/2015 also a bit patchy near side lines and corner flag area from the north stand i went to game on SATURDAY and was watching how the ball bounced and how fast it zipped when playing grass cutter passes as if it was on a carpet have a few concerns about the desso system but could be used to our advantage against other teams who are not used to it?  José Mourinho slated wembley about the desso pitch at the weekend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Funky_Gibbon   42 #3 Posted August 9, 2015 If it makes the ball zip and they can't handle that then that's their problem. My concern about the pitch it that is was visibly marked where our players had been warming up in lines. I don't know whether that was just some weird effect of the sun hitting it or whether it was actually being worn away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

green_man   10 #5 Posted August 9, 2015 The bloke knows all about desso pitches though as Bristol City were one of the first outside of the top flight to have it installed and having seen their pitch in the flesh, it is a cracking playing surface.  He reckons the pitch length is wrong and a little sluggish as opposed to slick like the one that they have, valid comment really.

Hotmale 1954 Â Â 201 #10 Posted August 10, 2015 Cotterill's after match interview was very strange. Â It didn't take Poirot to detect that he wasn't allowed to bring any players in during the close season, and that he and his Chairman/owner aren't talking. Â I'll give him a month or so, then he'll be out of a job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
