I’m no groundsman, and wether the pitch caused it or not…but I did notice last night that Sadio , Robbo and a few others were slipping on the KD stand side near kop corner…I thought they needed better studs,but it could’ve been pitch or watering…I’m sure someone will enlighten us…

The opposition are playing on the same pitch though. Unless you’re playing Stoke on a wet Tuesday night in Stoke, not entirely sure the weather argument ever holds water (every pun intended).
Of course it does.
We’ve been better than the opposition (by a distance) in every one of those games so I don’t see your point. You just can’t play your best football in gale force winds on a waterlogged pitch.

Its a leveller surely. The worse the conditions the better it is for the underdog.

Our recent slump include winning out last 8 PL games, advancing in the FA cup, winning the kangaroo cup, and advancing to the Champions League quarter finals.
As a fan, I hope this slump continues forever.

Actually it is not rare for Jones to motm or close to it despite the fact he usually gets taken off after an hour. It has been interesting to watch his skill level, and controlled aggression improve over the season . Work rate has always been good and his positional sense is now of a high level.
IMO the problem was that he and Thiago is not the best balanced combination especially when Fab is a bit below par.
