NorfolkNChance Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Really bad today, those final 2 corners from butterfield were potter esque Our crossing in general frustrates the hell out of me, we either get opportunity to cross and don’t or we just hoot it aimlessly at the back post or hit the first man.

malek Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) Since Lee took over corner duty (at lest from left side) he took them very well. Sadly that wasn't the case today. And most of our crosses from open play come through our full back. Pitty that both Reach, and especially Hunt are doing it very poorly.

ozzieowl Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Was strange he took one with left n one with right foot. Generally our set pieces are shocking. No ideas. Their goal from free kick was bob on. We had one in same position and we get Jones float one towards keeper but hits wall. Needs some fresh ideas imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatOwl Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Wallace is the man we have in the squad for set pieces. His corner delivery today was beyond pathetic. If he can't cross properly, then why is he in the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibon8 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 So many wasted opportunities from not being able to take a simple set piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNChance Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Hunt gets about 8-10 decent crossing openings every home match and in the main shanks them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bexy1977 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 To be fair to Hunt yesterday, he whipped in 2 decent crosses yesterday. To back post! first half - 3 player in box all made same front post run 2nd half - 1 player front post, othere didnt even make runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavlad Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I've been told we don't even work on set pieces in training and you can tell because everyone we have one it's hope for the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 There's no plan with our set pieces or crosses. Could you ever imagine us pulling off what they did for the first goal? Not a bloody chance. It is so hit and hope. We saw this perfectly when we had a free kick not long after they had scored and nobody had a clue who was taking it. As for our crosses in play, for the last season or two we must have one of the lowest crosses to attempts on target ratio in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlsMan1961 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Yeah without doubt the set pieces and crossing need some work, but what I find even more frustrating is those short quick free kicks we take in the middle of the park which within two passes end up with the ball going back to a defender or the keeper, throw ins are the same .... get the bloody ball played forward !

Matt_1 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 In the post match interview, in his own words Carlos said: "we train for set pieces, offensive and defensive." Whoever leads those sessions needs to have a re-think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Ross Wallace's set pieces have been nothing short of abysmal this season. Overhit, floaty crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever leads those sessions needs to have a re-think. Carlos needs to think on about how open he is with his interviews, because as well as inviting fans to blame him for yesterday (which personally I am doing, and chose to before he invited it) he's hanging his own gallows by trying to claim we practice things like set pieces. This forum likes to still laugh about Darren Potters set pieces. Yesterday we were consistently worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those weaknesses we see week in week out and still we don't see any improvement. I wonder how many of the players stay after training finishes to practice on their weaknesses?

OwlofOliveGrove Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 *Corners *Free kicks *Throw-ins *Crosses *Goal kicks (out of the hands) All bobbar in our case. No idea what happened to Wallace's abilities from the last two seasons and Hunt is having a nightmare as well. We take far too long to get the ball into the box. We always take 30 passes to do what other teams comfortably do in less than 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we were lead to believe the players knocked on the managers door and asked him to stay after Huddersfield. No wonder. Everybody's mate.
