jimbo jones Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Their is a distinct lack of a set piece specialist in this team. Lawrence gets the job because there’s no one else rather than it’s something he’s good at. it was highlighted when Baird started taking them, I seriously doubt he had ever been put on set piece duty before in his long career. Of course it turned out he was pretty good. a set piece man, who preferably can whip in a good cross from open play would be top of my shopping list in the summer.

Fox had his arms right around hddlestone. Blatant penalty but no chance of it being given. you have to take care what you wish for ,the way Keogh stares they will give a peno just for him looking at ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistaram Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 We've had 171 corners and 1 goal not good the last player we had who could consistently put in a good corner was Ben Davies but Baird is good when he can get the ball of Lawrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 8 hours ago, Leicester Ram said: I think the most priority this year was to stop us conceding set-pieces, which we absolutely have. That’s been a massive improvement. With the sort of attacking team we are, I’d have liked us to maybe score more from set-pieces but we are a threat. Had quite a few corners this year where we’ve hit the post or got unlucky. The focus of a good team should never be overtly on set-pieces though, should be creating enough goal scoring opportunities throughout a game to not need set-piece goals, they should be a bonus. Half agree with this. Yes it's brilliant we're not conceding so many. But if I were coaching I would drill the hell out of them on brilliant set piece after brilliant set piece. They should be a lethal weapon for goal-scoring, not an afterthought if you don't create opportunities from open play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukedcfc Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 It is disappointing, especially when our side is quite tall and strong. I can't remember the last time we scored from a set piece. Maybe it wasn't long ago but we have been poor all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very best dead-ball exponents are the ones where the team create a "diversion"...straining to remember but didn't Scotland once score a beauty where one player ran as if to "shoot" only for a teammate to suddenly break from the wall and stop the team-mate from shooting {by placing himself between the ball and "kicker" as if to say "you're not taking it"} and whilst everybody "stopped" a second Scotland player ran and shot from the other side of the ball and scored. I'm sure I didn't dream it...I think Joe Jordan was involved. ps edit. OK so it was Notts County ladies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WharfedaleRam Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I must say I cannot understand why Tommy H, a man who can land a ball on a penny piece from 40 yards, doesn't take our free kicks around the opposition penalty area?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
