The County Ground pitch has been made narrower, assume that’s an indication of the style of play this season.

Well said, i forgot to say this after watching the Wycombe game. Yeah it was very noticeable, perhaps 2-3 yards narrower i think. Not sure i like that approach, but oh well. |

Decades ago I remember the County Ground pitch was one of the biggest in the country.

Yeah it fitted with the generally expansive style we had.
A narrow pitch with wing backs seems an odd approach, but there you go.

Smaller pitch + Bigger defenders = Less goals conceded  |

Smaller pitch = More box entries (shudder with the Lindsey term) |

Genuinely works! Kills pacier teams a bit too as there is less space. Can't say I noticed v Wycombe mind. |

I have no doubt Di Canio wanted it at it’s maximum to accommodate Matt Ritchie & our superior fitness. |

Makes that permafrost bit in front of the DR less troublesome in the winter.
