No artificial pitch here. 1 hour ago, cidered abroad said: Well as we don't have an artificial pitch, that will not apply. PS. Somebody else explain the construction of a grass Desso pitch, as I've done it several times on here. PPS @Furious Custard Ask the Bristol Rugby players for the difference between Ashton Gate and the pitch at Worcester which is plastic. Sorry but my understanding of a desso pitch is that some percentage of it is artificial and made from polypropylene fibres to re inforce the grass and the roots ?

You are more informed than some. The polypropylene fibre, "plastic string" is used as follows. 20cm lengths are inserted vertically in the ground at 2cm apart in all directions of the pitch. So a lot of them. The polypropylene is about 95% below ground level and the principle is that the grass roots intertwine into it. Thus when there is damage to the grass leaves, the root remains in the ground to continue growing. Most clubs also use undersoil heating to keep the grass growing in very cold weather and also ultra violet lamps above ground to encourage growth. On an ordinary grass pitch in wet weather, the grass roots are often kicked out of the ground which leaves bare patches. Goal areas are particularly vulnerable. Sorry FC if my initial response was a bit sarcastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry FC if my initial response was a bit sarcastic. Thanks for explaining. I and many others have always thought that some of the plastic fibres do stick above the ground.

Mad Cyril Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Back to the injury. Is it true he was scissored by Nagy charging in at knee height, and Morrell simultaneously scything in at ankle height?? Just to make sure, Bakinson stamped on his hand while he was down and Paterson put in a rabbit punch to the back of the head. Competition is definitely hot in midfield this season.

That may as well be true. Why has there been secrecy around these Walsh and Williams injuries? Why has the club not disclosed the line up for the 2nd hour of the friendly v Villa?

He has played right back before for a previous club but hardly at all. And he played there briefly one game for us. And Bakinson at the back interesting too. Not so sure about that midfield though! They probably had those roles more out of convenience than design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 1 hour ago, Davefevs said: Holden seems determined to play 2 strikers and 2 attacking midfielders. Almost a 3 - 3 - 2 - 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted August 27, 2020 Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 5 minutes ago, JonDolman said: Yeah probably. But then Holden seems to plan to play Eliasson as a box to box midfielder, so I guess anything is possible! Looked like Bakinson left of the 3 with Moore in the middle on the picture I saw. Curious. It doesn't really matter in a game like that I suppose. The Exeter game will tell us a lot more about Holden's plans for the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS, our luck at the start of the season with injuries is incredible. Could be almost a 3rd of the season gone by the time he is fully match fit/sharp. Hopefully he recovers quickly.
