Narrow Pitch


Anyone noticed the pitch has been narrowed. Would it provide us with any advantage?

Re: Narrow Pitch


The narrowing of the pitch and the arrival of Tonks is pure coincidence

Re: Narrow Pitch


The idea of narrowing the pitch is to reduce the chance of rapid counter attacks experienced numerous times at home last season. Let's hope it works

Re: Narrow Pitch


If it helps our defence, could we not reduce it a bit more?...say to around 20ft?

Re: Narrow Pitch


It's a well-established trick of the trade. Narrow the pitch and your opponents are forced to play a much more compact shape, and quick wingers become less effective. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if we've made the pitch shorter too. Less space overall for stronger teams to exploit, and less space to cover for our part-timers against pros.

Re: Narrow Pitch


That player with the long throw (Tonks), is he going to play much as it looks like that is another weapon we can make use of when the going gets tough.
