Maybe just me over noticing it, but there seem to be an awful lot of players slipping in games toward the back end of the season. Noticed it in a good few Town games too, and two or three times in the Manure v Trees game today.
Has something changed in boot tech this season, with lower profile studs or 'blades'?
Oh for the days of stud keys and swapping your studs out. |  |

Pitches drain a lot quicker these days, so what happens imo is these pitches get soaked so close to kickoff so that the pitch isn't dry to quick into the half, so it's quite slippery inside the first 20 minutes but begins to dry out as the half goes on
then at HT it's absolutely drenched again and you go again. |  |

Was surprised at how wet the pitch still was after the QPR game tbh. |  |

Doesn't surprise me, we seem to go absolutely mad with the sprinklers. But KM does speak of slow ball movement in away games quite often, at least at home it's gonna be zippy zippy | |

Could be 2/3 reasons. One possibility being at the top levels of the game, more and more pitches are hybrids. Water doesn't drain as well off " plastic " as it does grass. Seems to have become a modern day fad, rather than adding anything tangible to the game, rather like VAR! |  | | |
