Players adapt to any surface but yes pretty passing football is easier on a good surface, I take it that you would be happy to see us lose as long as we played tippy tappy football ?
No I ultimately want to see us winning games of football.
As you say players generally adapt the any playing surface but i'd prefer to give our team the best chance possible to play to their strengths. I believe that the club wanted to move away from the 'hoof ball' tag that we have been assigned in the past and the long term planning that came with the desso was a part of this. The team that we have at the moment are probably capable of winning on any surface, however, as a very good footballing team we play better on a better surface.
The link below is from Oldham last season. According to Wilder we didn't adapt to the playing surface, we were brought down to Oldham's level and we were forced to hoof it all game. I'm assuming you didn't mind the hoof though and were happy with getting a 'good' point away from home?
