Derbydave96 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 In a few years we could well have Jamie Hanson, the youth centre back taking the free kicks, fantastic delivery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Martin for me. Hughes around the box for crosses in. Wouldn't mind seeing Forsyth cross one in. But Ward....diabolical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormantonRam Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'd have Martin as well tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Ram Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Just because a free kick is direct, it doesn't mean we have to have a direct attempt on goal. Let's show a bit more imagination, Sammon was stood at the side of the wall for the free kick taken by Ward late on, so why couldn't the ball have been rolled in to him. I'm not saying this is the only solution but surely we can work on some more imaginative free kicks rather than seeing the ball wasted during the final minutes of a game. Wards imagination when running at defences is not in question here, I just wish he could apply that to free kicks. Another gripe is our lack of ability to take throw-ins in such a way as to at least give the recipient of the ball a reasonable chance. We seem to throw at chest hieght requiring the ball to be brought down and controlled before it can be distributed and consequently that player is put under pressure for no reason. Quite often the result is negative play from good positions, or worse still we lose the ball and the opposition break quickly. Ive not posted in a long while but feel compelled to due to my increasing frustration on both free kicks and throw-ins. That being said, we wouldn't be Derby fans if we didn't have something to moan about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyDyer Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 In swingers with a bit of pace. Floated corners just don't work. Ward taking corners excites me like sammon taking penalties. Forsyth/hughes/Russell on one side. Bryson/Martin from the other. As for freekicks, ward seems pretty pointless. Hughes always hits the target but rarely with enough power. I would like to see Martin given a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Robbie Savage last goal direct from free kick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormantonRam Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Was not in my usual seat for Brum game, was behind the goals, and Martin had the best shooting accuracy in the warm up. Martin for free kicks if we get any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 The best corner/free-kick takers we have currently are Bavies, Jacobs and Coutts. None of them are in the team though And none of them seem to be THAT good - just the best we have. It is a shame that we have Martin who is so good at winning free kicks in those danger areas and the best we can manage is Jamie Ward blasting them at the wall and hoping for a lucky ricochet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Ward scored one in 11/12 away at Barnsley, but from memory it was straight at the keeper who should have saved it. I think Steve Davies did against Blackpool as well, might have been his first start back from that head injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
