Set pieces

I think this is where we miss Ralls the most.

Robertson is good at a lot of things but I'm yet to be convinced taking set pieces is one of them.

Almost all our corners/free kicks today were awful.

Was the same when Turnbull has taken them in the last couple of games.

Our delivery is appalling and not far behind is the movement in the box.Its lick float one in and we will stand still and jump for it.
Oh to have Whitts back :notworthy:

Turnbull and Robertson seemed to be having a competition today.

Who can take the worst set piece?

Probably a draw to be honest.

Pretty much all of them were awful.

Ralls should be teaching them how to take them in training.

The deep high ball seemed to be the call today and we won nowt..... Hard and flat sometimes doesn't beat the first man but you only got to get something on it and its in.

The amount of times the ball didn't get past the first man was awful.

We could at least have someone on the front post or attacking it like Perry Ng did for his goal against Millwall but for some reason that hardly ever happens.

Posted earlier all our corners free kicks were lobbed 20yrds out and to back of penalty area! Now theses kicks are supposed to be an header away from attempt at goal ...the way ours are taken it would take minimum of 3 touches to score that is absolutely ridiculous and set peace coach needs to be sacked if we have one.... this as been going on for awhile now and needs to change.

And to think last season - we lead the way from goals scored from set pieces ...
