Just to add to the million and one theories on why we are performing so badly has anyone considered the effect that the condition of the pitch has. It has to be noted that in general the FES pitch is an uneven slope but this season it has got particularly bad, making passing flowing football nearly impossible.

A friend of mine who only goes occasionally has noticed this and points out that most of the other clubs in the league (Stockport apart) will have half-decent level pitches. When Stanley manage to pass the ball about a bit they can put some decent football together.

Is it any wonder that the form away from home has been better this season? My suggestion would be that the one major investment at the end of the season is a completely new, levelled pitch.
