The Real Sandhurst Royal Let's stop blaming the pitch at the MAD STAD.
The style of play set out by the manager in February and March has been our downfall. We played with no creative midfield nor width against Preston, Bristol City, Notts Forest, Charlton and Barnsley.
Our last two away performances at Derby and Norwich have put that right.
Bring on the Brum.

Snowball Murty on the radio a week or so ago was very specific.
He said that bobbles etc meant one touch becoming two and that players
were pinging it long to avoid making a mistake getting caught in possession in our half
If you listened to the interviews after Derby, Kits said the players got together
and decided between themselves to play it more on the floor, play more football
BECAUSE THE PITCH WAS SO GOOD.
A similar thing was said before the Norwich game. Better pitch, better play, suited Reading's players.
On TV Murts said the pitch would benefit Reading.
In the pre-match Coppel joked about hoping Norwich didn't sabotage the pitch to stop our better play
The Mad Stad pitch should be improving already with the extra sun and rain and less rugby

The pitch doesn't help us, but they really are over playing the effect it has.
That Murty explains it further doesn't make it right Snowball, it just means the excuse has some decent reasoning behind it. Our players haven't played well enough on it and thats the real issue.

Agreed, but the real problem comes when our players start beliveing that our pitch is a problem.
Whether it is or not is irrelevant in that case, because just thinking it is a problem makes it one. Confidence is all!

Sarah Star Would it help if they practiced on a pitch in the same condition? I know of one in Reading they could get to quite easily.

Thaumagurist* Boring BR2 pops up again. Why have you started yet another thread about the pitch when there is a perfectly good 10 page thread about it?
