Mark Hudson and Michele Aragona came in for quite a bit of flack earlier in the season but we scored another set piece goal last night. Starting to have an impact:
7 set piece goals which is 25% of our total and 30% of our shots are now coming from set plays. [Post edited 26 Nov 2025 18:10]

They are getting better, some I still wonder why we've done that, last night clarke went high and long - the keeper strangely slapped it away for another corner, but we didn't actually have anyone there anyway
then another where we looped it to the back post, oshea headed it to nowhere, even if he managed to head it across goal it would have been a looped header anyway and easy for the keeper
Our corners are much much better whipped in |  |

We've had quite a bit of success with the ball to the back post where I think we're mainly looking for second phase rather than a direct goal. O'Shea and Greaves have both won lots of headers in that space.
There's a good thread here on why players at the back post can find space against a zonal marking system:
I think a lot of the set pieces where we end up asking "what on earth were they doing there" the defenders have just blocked effectively. The set piece taker has played the ball towards where they intend to but the runner hasn't been able to get free to make contact. | |

There is only O'Shea attacking the ball with real intent. |  |

I think the job of a lot of the others will be as 'blockers' - we do try to get different players into the 'attacking the ball' role - Kipre and Greaves in particular who have both scored and come close on other occasions | |
