Another set piece another goal

I'm hoping that when the coaches look back on the season they'll realise that we really are bad at defending set pieces.

It's the gift that keeps on giving. All other teams have to do is win corners of free kicks in good positions and it ends up being a great attacking chance 🤷‍♂️

Same old rubbish. Sloppy, slow, sideways, no tracking or marking and no inspiration. Just why does Farke ask them to do this time after time after time?

Conceding so many from set pieces is down to the coaching. Simple as that. Yes we might have still conceded some from set pieces and yes we probably wouldn’t have been good enough to stay up anyway. But defending set pieces pretty well and at least making it hard for opponents to score from set pieces is something any team can be taught to do by coaching and training groundwork and we continually fail to improve. Regardless of what your thoughts are on the manager vs board vs knits bad luck’ for the more general failure this season, the inability to tighten us up at set pieces is a massive failure by the manager and coaching staff alone.

Awful at defending set pieces. Haven't gained a point from going a goal behind all season. Unforgivable stat. And that is all on Farke.

Cheers, Keith.

21 f*cking points. What a miserable return that is.

I like Farke but should we not look into employing a specialist set-piece defense coach to help him? This is nothing new as we were sh*te at them last season as well.

Oh come on we’re almost self supporting as long as we always sell our best players at the first decent offering. And by all accounts the manager is a nice guy. And what did you expect the owners and management did tell you and it’s own players right from the begin of the season that it was expecting to not be good enough. So that was a real boost.

come on chins up don’t forget that we have Baldrick to fall back on. After all it is all part of a cunning “Plan”..... or are we calling the “Project” this week oh doesn’t matter.

Eddie Riemer's role isn't it?

We’re not, we’re worse.

Was coming on to post just that. Can forgive a lack of quality but set pieces is something where we can be a lot better through good coaching.

It's not just defending them either. We never look likely to score them at the other end. Even on throw ins we may as well just give it to the opposition. 

This must be somewhere we look to bring in some specialised coaching as even a marginal improvement would make a lot of difference.
