Bolton manager blames our pitch

[drfchound]

i wonder what his excuse was when Swindon Town beat them 4-0 in the FA CUP 2nd round on December 7th

they used to say belle vue was the biggest ground in the UK

Biggest pitch mate.

I don't remember Burnden Park Wolfie but my now lousy memory has the Baseball Ground and Stamford Bridge looking like ploughed fields at times.

Definitely Baseball Ground was a mud bath.

Plough Lane sounds like it should have been !

Very good, Wolfie, very good 

Of course the sandy soil at Belle Vue made that one of the best playing surfaces in the country in the 50s and 60s when the goal area and penalty boxes in so many were like farm yards - mud and puddles.

Didn’t  the old BV pitch have an ash base as well.

Yes it did. It's why it never waterlogged. I don't think we ever had a game off for waterlogged pitch.

Just read through their forum and not one single poster has given us any credit for the way we played.
All comments are that we were sh1te, well maybe we were at not taking our chances, but we have played worse than yesterday and still received some praise from opposition supporters.
So fans totally blaming their manager and him blaming the pitch, for them being outplayed for majority of the game.
Same old, we are big club playing little old Donny!

I don’t know which forum you visited Ian but I think you’ll find that most of us agreed that we were lucky and you should have won. We were awful and that’s not me taking anything away from Donny but we were and have been for weeks. I think Schumacher is under pressure at the moment and will blame everything and everybody but himself for how bad we are. Anyway, just to put the record straight there’s no question on the day we were second best.
