It's worth noting that this will be on a 3G pitch, so should be less likely to suffer a postponement. I notice nearby Alvechurch had their game postponed on Tuesday - and it looked like the water would run off their pitch pretty well.

Given the slope it may well be the case water runs off the pitch so well it’s floods the clubhouse and changing rooms. From what the players said the Alvechurch pitch was heavy when we were there and from comments on the League forum Tuesday’s postponement came as no great surprise to most.

  • Play it out from the back.
  • 1 up front.
  • Man gets one good result via a new manager bounce and thinks he's Pep Guardiola.

Just like the buses. No game for two weeks then four in 15 days and it will, weather permitting, be seven in 21 days.

Yes, a good point in the end with a wishy washy display. We started fine but then lost control on the plastic pitch ( no thanks, I don't want one for the new place as a main pitch). Poor control, occasional poor passing and nil threat in the final 3rd. Having said that we battled away and very nearly stole all 3 points. Too many players just didn't effect the game but that could have been a formation issue.
Overall, happy with the point.
