Re: Wast Hills

There was a reputation that the Wast Hills pitches were heavy and I played on them a couple of times for amateur teams and they for sure were in those games.
I think for Vassell and Jota they were asked to do things their legs were not ready for.
Vassell has come from Truro and Luton so fitness was it was a big ask for him to play the high tempo chasing every ball type role at this level - was a big ask of the hamstrings.
Similar for Jota, for me at Brentford he was more in the Fabrinni 'lazy' number 10 role where as last night, he was sprinting everywhere like crazy - on a wet pitch on a Tuesday night in Leeds..
Maybe just both players were not up to this tactical approach in terms of their fitness...and training on those pitches maybe didn't help.
