Gary Owers said it was the same at the Baseball Ground, so nothing improves!

Got to be said our pitch hosting football and rugby is in fantastic condition.

[sh1t_ref_again]

FFS we are getting deep and giving them the pitch to play in and this time we are not trying to defend a lead

[cidercity1987]

Logging off now W1 D3 L10 when conceding first

Oops.

Exactly what I thought! Sums up our soft underbelly.

Derby want it more than us

The baseball ground was 100 times worse from the pictures I’ve just seen.

It looks absolutely fine to play on imo.

Christ that pitch is a disgrace

Was a lovely ball to be fair i thought 

Not knocking the quality, just the non-entity of the defending. Where was Hunt, how comes Richards was able to run between Kalas and Mawson.

Simple they were half asleep. Not good enough.

Of course it’s playable, it’s still disgraceful at this level.

The corridor of confusing 

[sh1t_ref_again]

Every time a gust of wind a derby player chucks hinself on the ground for a free kick

[tin]

Lovely ball in from Buchanan, their left-back - virtually impossible to defend against that sort of quality. Not sure what Semenyo or, more importantly, Hunt are doing to stop the cross coming in. Soft as shite.

[steviestevieneville]

We are so ******* passive . How easy was that goal . No pressure on the ball

If it was a disgrace, it would have been called off.

Went to the Baseball ground around 1980, not a blade of grass to be seen, just sand.  Awful.

[bobbyhutchscurlymullet]

They couldn't pay the players, reckon they couldn't pay the groundstaff either

[bcfc01]

Very slow and sloppy start by City.

Derby bossing it as expected.

We need to get into this game before its too late.

Some parts of the country have had loads of snow and flooding. I’m sure the groundstaff have got it the best they can.

Thanks for your support.

[Bassomylord]

Considering the talent in our side are performing are like relegation fodder.

The Derby pitch looks like a cows field.

Baseball Ground was always one of the worst - looks like they're going for a bit of a retrospective.

Why's it so bad - don't recall it being that awful when we've visited in previous years?

Should Bentley have come for it?

Dead right he should...very slow off his line?

Never really understand that comment, can’t imagine that any sportsperson at any level doesn’t want to win.

Hilarious what people get so bent out of shape about. It’s the same for both sides, so crack on with it. It’s not as though we play like Barça!

[Coppello]

I didn't realise they also hosted speedway at Pride Park. It's pretty shambolic for a Championship ground and when you consider rugby is also played at the Gate and ours is perfect most weeks.

I’ve played on better pitches on Redcatch Park..., the only thing missing from this pitch is the dog turd. Unless of course you choose to use that phrase to describe our defending
