Did anyone think we’d score from any?

Nope and Charlton should’ve scored from their one in the first half when we left a man unmarked in the six yard box. Our set piece coach is still robbing a living…

Said the same thing and add to that the free kicks.
Every one lumped into the box against a sizeable team who, for the most part, dealt with it fairly easily.
No attempt at a variation, no subtlety or invention.
Our set-piece coach is a fraud. Based on what we’re seeing, he is bringing nothing to the table.

No. No variation and no idea who would take a corner if Leif has been subbed. Absolutely woeful.

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

Jack Clarke and Nunez who both actually took a lot of them unless my memory is failing.

I actually thought the corners themselves were not bad. It was just a failure by the players in the box to attack them other the the time Greaves stretched for a header in front of O'Shea who was in a perfect spot to score.

I think with opposition putting all their 11 players in the box it would be much more prudent to actually have 5 or 6 players outside the box. It would totally confuse them.

Johnson was in such a good position on the corner of the box a few times last night. We could be doing something with that.

Despite his height, Greaves contact is poor, so that his headers mainly loop up in the air, or go off target.

One great ball in from Clarke, when somehow the defender got his head to it from right under the bar. But to be fair that was fully committed defending to prevent a goal... oh for some of that from our defenders.

The first four corners were taken by three different players and Philogene took some when Davis went off. They all seemed to be trying the same thing with little variation.

Davis took the first one…. on 09:28 - Oct 22 with 271 viewsBloots

…Nunez took the second one, from the same side, about a minute later.

Clarke took the 3rd one.

When we don’t even know who’s gonna take them, how are we meant to know who’s gonna score from them?

It’s a minor detail, but it illustrates how clueless we are from set pieces.

Exactly what I was about to post. Then you had Philogene taking them when he came on. Young taking free kicks. So 5 players.

During both of our promotion seasons we had some excellent creative routines, these seem to have completely disappeared under Hudson.
