I'll leave this here - had no idea....

Makes good reading. Our fixture look winnable but we play a lot of teams in the top half of that table so we'll have to be on top form in the coming weeks

I'm not getting too excited. I'm not moaning about beating the first man. I just wondered if anyone could tell me when we last scored direct from a corner - like Preston did at the Lane a couple of weeks back?

we did score from one verses bristol city 1st match M Higdon he,s never looked like doing it since then.

Think it's a play off final defeat again this year. Feels similar to other seasons like the burnley and Huddersfield finals where we are struggling to score goals.
Might change my opinion if we get some momentum and the new players hit the ground running but I do think we need to improve or get players in that can attack and defend corners and free kicks cause that's where games get decided x

Them cup runs might do us some good after all in the play offs.

Am I the only one not getting excited by the entire corner/set piece conversion thing. We don't play in a way that builds from set pieces unlike many previous managers. We generally are a good counter attacking side. This relies on pace and quick passing in that initial stage when you win the ball off the opposition (usually in your own half). Might explain why things are as they are. I have no issue with us not hoiking a ball into the box in the vain hope that we might win a header and the ball might drop to one of our men close enough to stick it in the net.

It might not be the way we are trying to attack but we still have to be able to

Hopefully they have had a lot of one off game experience now these lads.
Would be brilliant x

Higdon becomes the hero at Wembley . Fate has a funny way of showing its hand . Header from a corner .

Probably be just off the top 2 and finish 3rd or 4th in my opinion.

 

[BeatleBlade]

I'm gonna go with 3rd. We'll catch some of the top group but it's a little too late to catch them all I think now. I think we will score the most points of everyone in the remainder of the season though so even if we don't go up then we will be in a very good position for next season so long as we don't lose crucial players like we did last time.

I thought that was a free kick we scored from mate, Davies whipped it in?
