Why don't the opposing teams get injured on our pitch ?

[One4the.road]

It can't be the pitch just bad luck in my opinion

[Yorkshire-Seagull]

Tell that to Billy Sharp and the other Donny lad from the first game of the season....

 

[Mo Gosfield]

It is a worry that we are pulling so many hamstrings....pitch/fitness levels/training methods/bad luck....take your pick.

 

[salty seagull]

Because they only play on it once a year.It would have a lot more affect if they played on it every other week.

I think that was more to do with kneeing Calderon in the head!

 

[kano]

so what is it exactly about our pitch that is supposed to be causing the injuries?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i thought the pitch was designed to PREVENT injuries?

Too hard, according to another thread. Hence the watering and slipping.

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Does anyone know what % of injuries are sustained at home as opposed to away. This may give an indication if it is our pitch or not

That is what we were told. We were told that there were going to be elastic fibres in the root zone, meaning that the roots hold together (unlike Wembley, before they changed to a desso grassmaster pitch) and the surface is bouncier than the average pitch, reducing injury.

Oh.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

My understanding is that we have no more injuries at home than away. Gus has said on the radio that the injuries are about the added level of strain that League One players are having to put their bodies through each game in the Championship. Makes a lot more sense than blaming the pitch.

If that is the case can the training and physical fitness staff not overcome this with added or a different type of training
