With pitches miles ahead of what they were most players will tend to go for moulded studs. All good until you need better grip…!! Just now, RedM said: The grass is killed off and reseeded, that is correct. I think the problem is the desso, artificial strands that are woven in, are at the end of their life and are due to be renewed in the summer. ^^^^^^^this^^^^^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that a criticism of women's football? It's a criticism of inconsiderate footballers/coaches, some of whom happen to be women. I think you're actively looking for an argument here. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy1968 Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 [I don't play, my guess, based on a limited mind] Don't players have lots of stud/blade options, and their aim is to be able to move/turn quickly, but (obs) not fall over. The shorter studs aid movement but increase the liklehood of losing footing. I've seen Mark Sykes fall over at least four times every game (I made that up, but he is the one I notice falling over), so I've assumed it's the player has tried going with shorter studs and should consider a slightly longer stud if he feels he has a problem staying upright. So even if it is the pitch, there are things the player can do to mitigate the problem .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
