i assume its only the main pitch that has a shallow pitch depth due to the need for mechanically moving it.
don't we train on regular pitches with normal pitch depth? visiting players don't usually get injured playing against us at home

If this were an issue at all I think it would be a combination of playing time along with fatigue but it would most likely be caused by our training pitches rather than the ground itself.

Training video of him telling the players they need to help each other out, they need to make themselves available/open for pass .. me likey.

I also think he's hinting at he'll find the players with the fight vs. just who on paper should play, as a few more come back, might be interesting if anyone suddenly doesn't make starting 11

I was told we have a very shallow pitch depth
Did raise them in a twitter thread and got told I was wrong
I was told it on the tour

Pitch depth is fairly uniform nowadays. Remember the top layers are removed and replaced each summer.

You only need 50cm before the hard binding layer.

Remember EACH of our 3 pitch trays is 3,000 tons, so the pitch is very deep and solid.

I’m really not claiming to be any expert
I did do the contract for the millennium stadium pitch to be relaid when I was at Laings but it was just a contract and I didn’t have a clue TBH

There's something going on, whether it's the pitch, the actual players or like Munn alluded to not having a top tier medical program who knows but we need to investigate all areas and come to some sort of plan of action.
