Help for Hursty

Hannah started 8 out of the first 10 league games on his return and scored 0 goals. The only reason I can see for this is Neilson leaving (bloody Luton!) although  as Tom said they've played together since with nowhere near the same impact.

I've come to the conclusion that it's Brodie's fault for being 'in the building'!

Forgot about him going to Luton , your right , system changed or the mysterious plan B . Just wonder how much disruption one player can do to a team if badley managed . Love him or hate him Brodie is a pain in the butt ,  we will just never know .  Southport grrrrrrrr!

Pot/kettle?

Hannah needs both Aswad and Neilsen both fast, fit and on form down the left wing to be effective - considering the amount of chances being marked up on stat boards, we must have a really poor chances to goals ratio this season, with set plays well down.

Hurst needs to find someone who can kick a dead ball past the first defender or it's a waste sending the centre halves up for nothing !

I would have expected Pearson to have at least 5 or 6 goals by now, but deliveries are rubbish !

Spot on post from you again . Delivery of corners free kicks never change , all observations everyone sees .

I wonder what the odds are of us failing to sign a single player who is reliably good at taking corners and set pieces over the past several seasons? You'd have thought that the law of averages alone should make it likely we would sign one or two with some ability in this area during this period!

Back in the day, I remember laughing when Glenn Hoddle said he picked Andy Hinchcliffe for England pretty much on the basis that he was good at taking corners. With what we've seen in recent years, this doesn't seem such a bad bet now!

Players arrive here and in pre-season/early games appear to have a decent delivery on them from set-pieces.  Brown this season, Kerr the season before.  I can even remember practically drooling when Rob Eagle whipped in dangerous corner after dangerous corner against Scunny in pre-season four years ago, how Kempson didn't have a hat-trick of headers that day I don't know.

Soon enough though the standards slip and our corners either fail to clear the first man or are bread and butter for even the most average goalkeeper.   On the rare occasion we do get a decent delivery in, it's met by a fifty-pence-piece header and ends up in the stand.

Do we just not bother to practice corners in training?

Is Justin Whittle still here?  

Seriously though do they practice corner taking during the week?
