Did anyone else think the ball was bouncing very weirdly today? Or was it more to do with the wind? |  |

are you saying it was quite bouncy?
It's always seemed quite a bouncy pitch from memory, what are its dimensions compared to Portman Road?
Portman Road historically is very wide, I assume it's a smaller pitch? |  |

Everything about them is smaller especially historically. [Post edited 6 Apr 17:05]

That's a hell of a straw to be clutching Scuzzer!
No, I didn't think the ball bounced remotely weirdly today. |  |

There was one where Hutchinson had it bounce over his head but since Davis misjudged a ball to him too I reckon it more likely the wind or that the Hutchinson one had some spin on it. | |

He just fcked it up. I was in line with it and you see he should have gone to trap it.
It bounced - but nothing out of the ordinary imho. | |

I thought it was a very bouncy pitch, 2 or 3 occasions at least where a ball was played that a player positioned themselves to receive but they were done by the bounce.
Reminded me of playing a pre season friendlies on a hard Gainsborough pitch at the end of summer. |  | | |

I seem to remember it being bouncy when we have played there in the past, not that that is anywhere connected to why we lost in fairness
Is it a deso pitch, I think they're meant to be bouncier, I can remember Alan Lee mentioning it
I'd be interested to know the dimensions, Portman Road is almost certainly wider than it by a distance, ours is one of the widest pitches in the whole football league
Edit: Our pitch is 7 metres wider than there's and 2 metres shorter so yes Portman Road is a larger pitch essentially
A smaller pitch is going to suit a more physical and niggly game, not that it's the main contributing factor to the loss. I think it's the tactics ultimately. [Post edited 7 Apr 2:59]
