Remember Grayson shortened and narrowed the pitch. Just wondering now that we have kids with some pace should it be taken back to its original size?

Not even sure if it would favour us its just pacy wingers tearing past defenders and pulling players away from the middle of defence.

Good point, but we still have a few old legs in there, and the younger players need beefing up a bit, so maybe next year. I'm sure Coleman will think about it when the time is right.

For quick young players the more space to attack the better. Bigger pitch certainly favour young quick and lightweight squads like ours. We've been battered all season against big teams in a little space. It was a desaster to make it so small imo
