Cottaging Canary 0 Posted July 25, 2008 With all the new players coming in, do we think we may have finally found a decent corner taker amongst them?! Bell, Hoolahan, Clingan (I think even Bertrand had a few attempts last season).........anyone know if any of these are set-piece specialists? It''s one thing (of many!) we''ve really lacked over the last decade, someone who has the ability to put a decent corner into the box and create havoc. Fotheringham doesn''t do a bad job, but a bit more consistancy is long overdue! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperWesIrishWizard 0 Posted July 25, 2008 Sammy Clingan was the Nottingham Forest Corner taker, well...... it looks that way from typing ''Sammy Clingan Corner'' into google. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ncfc4ever 0 Posted July 25, 2008 From what I''ve heard and seen, Clinghan is supposed to be an amazing free-kick taker and I think we all know HooliHoop can create trouble in the box with his crosses. Also, Fotheringham was good last season at corners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Monkey 52 Posted July 25, 2008 It all comes back to my new favourite buzzword for describing ournew-look squad - options! So much of our play in recent seasons hasbeen predictable and we''ve failed to cope withinjuries/suspensions. Our midfield and in particular the numberof players who can pass both short and long is much better than in along time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lincs CR 0 Posted July 25, 2008 Might have a bit of competition from set pieces this season!When Clingan signed he was said to be a set-piece specialist, especially free kicks, yet Fotheringham has done well based on pre-season reports from corners, providing Russell with a perfect ball the other night against Falks.Hoolahan''s delivery causes a hell of a lot of problems... at last it looks as though we have a number of strong dead ball takers, will be interesting to see this unfold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
