Pitch size

[daveshads]

Another afternoon of bewilderment and frustration. A poor game and we were thankful for a point. Of course, Marti has done a great job in his time here and let's hope that continues. But our home form continues to be nothing less than woeful. Home results improved a little at the back end of last season but games such as the 4-0 win over Leeds, were against teams on a huge downer.
We seem desperately easy to defend against at Loftus Road. Maybe with the super fitness of players these days, we just don't have the space to play the way we want to.
Our away form generally sees us in a much better light (thank God).
Perhaps a move is overdue.

You have a good point. We need to adapt our game to the pitch size so that it becomes an advantage in 50% of matches.

We had the 3rd Smallest pitch in the championship last season 102 m x 66m

the biggest was Hull 104 x 74

but most seem to be around the 105m x 68m mark so not much in it - I think the closeness of the stands makes our pitch seem smaller - also the fact that we don’t seem to want to play in a 20m x 20m patch of it in the middle of it makes it much smaller !

Didn’t we get slaughtered at Hull, then a few short weeks later slaughter the mighty Leeds on our small pitch.
