Set pieces (1 Viewer)

Need working on. We are shocking from set pieces, its as if they are not worked on atall in training. Edge needs to do a shit load more with his size. With the amount of corners and free kicks around the box we seem to be getting we really need to be doing more to utilise what we've got, were putting poor balls in and the likes of Edge and Wood are rarely near them. Also on a separate note and purely out of curiosity when was the last time we got a penalty ?

Malaga from the short time I saw him was a real danger at set pieces

How many corners have we had in the past 3 games? Wasnt it something like 15 against Sheff United and same against Crewe, then it couldn't hve been many less than that today....

15 corners against Crewe, 9 corners today. That is 24 corners and we have hardly looked like scoring directly from any of them.

Today we needed to avoid going the aerial route. Their two centre backs were huge and won everything. We needed the ball to feet and put across the box on the ground.

The other thing is that our crosses are all pretty much coming from deep positions and we are not getting to the byeline enough to pull the ball back.

Otis, I totally agree.

I thought our final ball in the past two games has been terrible but today we seemed to put everything high in the air which was easy for that bloody great giant they had in the middle, when we should have put more on the floor, especially when Elliott came on as the one that hit the bar was when he had the ball delieverd to his feet.

Also do we work on corners as the last few games it looks like we havent a clue where to put them.
