LocoPal Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 .. you have to wonder. Anywhere else corners and freekicks would be met with edge of seat anticipation, but not with this lot . And defending them is even worse so you have to point the finger at the coaching (or lack of). Another corner that doesnt make it past the first defender - another high and wide effort that goes out of play - and another short corner squanders a good oportunity. Where are the tall attacking centre halves coming through the crowd to bury the ball in the net?What is going on? I'm not happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex1089 Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Same here, it's been happening for years and we may aswell give them the ball back, it's rediculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ron Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Where are all the tall centrehalfs FULL STOP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robins72 Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 What concerns me is that theres usually one or maybe two that take set pieces. But this season its been several players. Surely there should be a free kick taker/s like there is a penalty taker/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipps Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Where are the tall attacking centre halves coming through the crowd to bury the ball in the net.That is where the problem lies, apart from Fortune, there is no height and he's not exactly commanding.This is what everyone has been asking for, all season.

Guest alex1089 Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 It's not just about the lack of big players, it's about the delivery which is absolutly crap, straight into the keepers arms!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Reynolds Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Surely Fortune could be that commanding centre-back we need.With his ability, and his height, he could be the ball winning centre-half we need.What surprises me is that with Millen and Taylor on the coaching staff, he hasn't managed to become that. I'm starting to wonder what they actually do!The distribution at set-peices is awful too though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Reynolds Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 OK, fair enough.I still can't understand why Fortune isn't becoming what he could be, since I thought Millen and Taylor would be good mentors for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray White Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 I'd have to agree with this topic.Scott Golbourne has clearly been taking lessons from Mickey Bell on how not to take a corner.We haven't had anyone who can take a set peice since the days of Darren Barnard/Jim Brennan.

Red Cloud Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 No we don't practise them!They're there to give an advantage but we take not one iota of advantage from them - haven't for years!It is the most glaringly obvious area in which we could improve in but the ones that count don't seem to notice!

zookeeper Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 We are a very short team and this doesn't help our cause but the movement is terrible, the distribution is dire, and set pieces just looks amateurish!!I would hope that we don't practise them cause if we do then I fear for us next season. With a short team we need to have the movement, drawing out there big defenders and then putting in balls with curl and pace. Not a high loopy ball or a flat hard ball!
