Set Pieces

[Slim Man]

Yes, I know it's been done to death, but WHY are we so bad from them?

Not even the first ball either, the rehash the scored from today was all too common. They're so slow getting out and winning the second ball that we can't keep up pressure when it's our corner - or we simply give the opposition another chance to unlock our terrible defence. Depending on the side of the pitch it is.

Collins annoys me. He wins headers frequently, in fact the only player we have who manages to make attacking headers, yet it's like he has a polygon for a head. Never ever on target.

I don't know whether we work on set pieces, Adkins says we do but really I'm not sure, we are just so bad at them I simply cannot believe we train on them. It's been like this since Blackwell left and shows no signs of changing unless we bring in some defenders who like winning headers, accurately.

We lack a bit of nastiness in the side. Think that helps at set pieces, that little bit of aggression.

But even when we're getting out after we've won the header defending a corner, that's nothing to do with nastiness it just seems the players are brain dead.

I wanted Baxter to shoot from the free kick we had near the end of the game. I know he messed one up last week.
