What I am saying is that I believe the pitch we had put in was a new system and maybe, just maybe, it is not as good as it was meant to be. Also if it is the pitch at the Amex is causing the injuries, are we not in danger of increasing the risk by 4 training days, if we have the same put into...

What would be interesting to know is, how many of these Hamstring /Muscle strain injuries over the last two seasons have happened at the Amex v The same type injuries to our players away from home.

Now that is just plain stupid talk. How about we get the contractor who recommended and sold us the pitch, to discuss the fact of the high injury levels of the players since we moved here? And then deal with the issues in the summer.

Well then I would question the Amex if we keep getting high injury levels wouldn't you. We played some really good football at the Withdean so that can't be an issue can it?

I just find it strange that we suffer a very high amount of hamstring problems, especially Buckley, who we were told that it was due to him still growing in the early day and not the pitches. Why don't players like Zaha, Bolasie suffer at the same rate?

Well I am getting on a bit now, but it does make me think how players like Frankie Howard, Dave Armstrong, Peter O'Sullivan (all very fast wingers) kept playing on the mud heaps they played on week in and week out, without constantly suffering this type of injury.

I am like supaseagull and found these comments strange. So when we have these super bowling green style training pitches, do we also have pitches to train on that are similar to some of the grounds that are ploughed up, due to the clubs sharing with Rugby clubs. I understand Blackpool is like...
