Baldyboy 1 Posted September 23, 2017 Every single one of our players in our own penalty box! Bloody crazy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,378 Posted September 23, 2017 I''ve never understood this as a tactic, I''d keep at least 2 players up the field otherwise who do you pass to when you clear it?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alfie54 84 Posted September 23, 2017 A couple of seasons ago I think it was Rotheram kept three or four up, it completely threw us. If we leave two up they will have to leave three back, if we all come back they have no worries Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,179 Posted September 23, 2017 I think that was Brentford under Warburton - always ready to do the unusual, they kept 2-3 up for our corners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyboy 1 Posted September 23, 2017 [quote user="lake district canary"]If it means the opposition don''t score, no problem. [/quote]It also means when the ball is cleared it goes straight back to them so it may not mean they score but it also means they are under no pressure whatsoever especially as we are so pedestrian at getting the ball forward!

Canary Jedi 616 Posted September 25, 2017 Did anyone go to the away game v Leicester when we were in the premiership? Every time we got a corner it was scary! Vardy plus other two other attackers were on the halfway line ready to counter-attack as soon as they got the ball. Meant we had to have four players back just to keep an eye on them. Awesome confidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwindonCanary 457 Posted September 25, 2017 I think the thinking with this zonal marking is the more in the box the more to cover each zone, Personally I''d love to see us confuse the opposition and play with a load of player staying up for corners Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Masked Raccoon 0 Posted September 25, 2017 This has been going on all season, also noticeable when we have a corner, we''re still leaving 2-3 near the halfway line.Similar happened with a few free kicks Saturday when the big men didn''t get in the mix.
