So unchanged and still no max on the bench

 

---

[clint van damme]

Unchanged.
Pitch looks awful.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

No Biamou again - still injured I guess.

 

[Great_Expectations]

That pitch looks absolutely shite.

I still think we’ll outplay them though, it’ll just be even more nerve wracking when we are playing it around at the back.

If it is too dangerous, I hope MR does change things.

 

[stevefloyd]

No Biamou again - still injured I guess.

Or still not injured according to Pete

 

[AlansEyes]

'Ffs where's Max' comments already out in force on social media.

Have to say, I'll be very surprised if we win today. Would just be typical of us to beat Wycombe and drop points today.

Few more pics of pitch






You would think there should be a minimum standard of pitch in the league. IE some grass

 

[Nick]

The pitch is awful, surprised the game can go ahead

 

[cc84cov]

4-0 win today their garbage

 

[cc84cov]

Looking at that pitch we might need to go long today not sure why max is not in ahead of Baka If we need to go long

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Happy birthday and new year Bakayoko. If called upon to play, hope you have a great game and score for us.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

No Biamou again - still injured I guess.

Nope

 

[PVA]

It does look crap, but we've played on just as bad as that at the Ricoh before I reckon

 

[Nick]

Looking at that pitch we might need to go long today not sure why max is not in ahead of Baka If we need to go long

Probably still injured

 

[jordan210]

Yellow kit today

 

[Magwitch]

No Biamou again - still injured I guess.

Thought he was in France for some reason. Transfer perhaps.??

 

[jordan210]

Shows how poor the pitch is !

 

[mark82]

Nope

He was injured a few days ago so probably still injured.

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Apparently they have a newish grounds man who used a machine on the wrong setting to get the water up. It took the grass off!

 

[Johnnythespider]

Nope

What do you know ?

 

[Johnnythespider]

If we can win on that pitch we can win anywhere, would take a point today if I'm honest, 4 from 6 over the 2 games would be ok.

 

[Winny the Bish]

Christ that pitch is a state. Particularly bad on the wings as well which is a worry for McCallum and Dabo getting forward.

 

[Houchens Head]

I'm going for a 1-1 win.

I didn't think the pitch at Wycombe was great but we coped fine.
Admittedly it wasn't as bad as todays

 

[usskyblue]

I'm going for a 1-1 win.

 

[Nick]

What do you know ?

He said he wasn't injured last game too

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Nope

What? I’m a bit confused, you said he wasn’t injured last game either but I posted a quote from Robins where he says he was.

Do you know him or something?

 

[Johnnythespider]

Just looked at the ifollow feed and that pitch is a disgrace, large areas with no grass at all, i can see passes getting stuck and falling short.

Looks like a car has been on it

Monster trucks

 

[shmmeee]

Are there actual pitch standards or could you literally have no grass and bumps all over the place?

Edit: looking through the regulations there’s literally nothing on pitch quality, smoothness, amount of grass, inclines, nothing.

View attachment 13806 Travelled to today’s game without a ticket so stuck in the home end - will be interesting to hear what the Tranmere fans think about the way we play!
As far as the pitch is concerned I have to say - it’s awful.
(I couldn’t rotate the photo)

I have similar problems with modern technology!

 

[no_loyalty]

Hopefully another early goal to get us going.

They cannot risk playing at the back to the extent we usually do

 

[jordan210]

Having seen videos of the pitch on the clubs insta. It’s not even flat. It literally looks like a tractor has driven over it in place
