Set pieces

It's embarrassing at how many goals we conceed from and the fact that we seem like scoring any either.

I'm afraid that set piece goals are not aesthetically pleasing enough for our selection of artistes.

Brilliantly put. National North requires a bit more grunt.

Individually all our players (well, from midfield forward) are very good. But there's little variation between them. We would really benefit from a big ugly b****** in there somewhere.

Hatfield brings something more direct but he's been a shadow of himself this season.

It is the corners that frustrate me most when we consistently fail to beat the first defender.
I thought Sousa would be the answer to this but we seem to persist with Rivers too often. I know we don’t have much time to practice set pieces but surely we can do better.
