Looking at Ashton Gate, they completely revamped the pitch in the summer of 2017. This went on from June until August. Wasps got a concert and the monster trucks in over the summer. That somewhat explains the poor state of the pitch.
Thinking about it, are we absolutely sure we didn’t win 3-1? After all, only Clive has seen evidence of Pompey’s 2nd and 3rd and we know what he’s like.
Said the other day that my fear was the midfield would be running on fumes. Westbrooke and Shipley playing 5 games in 2 and a half weeks or whatever isn’t really sustainable when one has known stamina issues and the other is having his first proper run in the first team.
