Forever Blue wrote:A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION :
"DO WE NEED A DEAD BALL SPECIALIST ?".
It is my clear opinion that we are in desparate need of a high quality freekick/corner specialist. Such a player can give us an extra 10 goals a season & possibly double that.
A Whittingham (in his prime) but with more pace, stamina and tackling ability. Of course we can't easily afford or find such a readymade player but we can :
(1) find a Bamba , a Mendez-Laing, a Zohore but for that position. These players are there and we can find one.
(2) make 2 or 3 of our present players e.g. Ralls , Hoilett and ?? Practice for say an extra 1 hr after a team training session. Get 5 apprentices to form a wall and bend around or over it. Take set-pieces or corners & pin-point your target man. Practice makes perfect.
This may be the difference between promotion or not.
Does anyone feel as strongly as I do?

Didn't happen too often with Whitts last season.

no doubt someone will bang in a free kick or two , and no doubt we will score from a few corners too.
but the first line of this post . bloody hell. thats as wrong as anything ive ever read on here.
all those players and managers he played with and for were wrong.?

I don't understand what you mean TBH we have and will score as many from corners as last year. Whitts corners were okay as are Ralls and Hoilett. FK's is a different question.

never been a big Ralls fan but boy is he proving me wrong..the corners being fine is a bridge too far though..they are not fine.

its obvious you dont understand.
i do get that he wouldnt fit in this team.and i get some of the criticism of him.
but all our managers { 5 } and players { 150 plus } have trusted him with dead balls for years. on top of this a host of pundits { ex coaches,managers,players } have made reference to his superb deliveries.
when litterally hundreds of experts { people who have played/coached/managed } at this level are all saying one thing and you think differently. just maybe your wrong.?
as for clearing the first defender { not your post i know }.. any fool ,even me and im nearly 60, can chip a ball into a 12 yard square area 30 yards away clearing the first defender..my head spins that anyone ever thought that was the only criteria.
