    only just signed for them though so maybe in a years time, would be ideal to see how he progresses, think he could develop into a good winger, he seemed to have a decent shot on him too.

    as a side note i got a feeling of a bullet dodged with regards to maiga tonight, for a so called pacey striker every mali counter he made literally 0 effort to get forward, he tracked back a lot then made little to no effort to challenge, he seems like a very frustrating player who on his day will only be decent, looked rather lazy. fair enough he made the goal but didnt do anything special that ive not seen from anyone else

    Got a horrible feeling one of our guys is gonna get injured playing on a dodgy pitch now. Probably Ba with his dodgy knee. :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Its a ticking timebomb, so he'll be fine. Conditions don't affect it, just time. Someone should check his digital display to see how long we've got...

    There are areas on the wings where there a really big muddy puddles and even where there is no puddle sometimes the ball just lands and completely fails to bounce but sends up a big splash of water. Obviously waterlogged. Not so bad down the middle though.

    1-1 now!

    Wet. Middle is bad, the wings are horrific. Players are coping by playing beach footie style, no passing along the ground just chips. Danny Guthrie would love it.

    They really shouldn't be playing on that, two players off injured in the first half an hour, it's carnage.

    Mayuka looks class. We should've signed him, he's probably worth ten times what we'd have got him for now.

    OT: It's still like this, only without the brooms:

    I remember playing on fields like that, fantastic games they were, real scrappy affairs.

    A draw is the worst result for us right? Any win would do.
