stillresigned Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I doubt that I'm the only Jags supporter to be totally fed up with the lack of quality and/or inventiveness from set pieces. Yesterday was a case in point when, chasing a vital point and with a goal coming from free play looking unlikely:our set pieces were frankly mince. To be honest this is not having a go at the management team, but could it be due to them having been defenders in their playing days? Frankly, I genuinely don't know; however I think we should be aspiring to be doing better than a bunch of mates having a kick about on a piece of spare ground and that is frankly what our set piece attempts increasingly resemble.

p12tfc Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Our set pieces have been mince for 20+ years. Only one season I can remember us having any kind of a threat was the year we won the first division. I've said before we don't attavk the ball in the oppositions box. We wait for the ball to come to our heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rid Skwerr Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Agreed. We are so bad at corners that I'm at the point now where I regard a shy near the goal line as a better bet than winning a corner. How sad is that? Get it sorted, Thistle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. Maybe the most roundabout argument for playing three at the back would be the opportunity to have Frans & Lindsay taking the throw ins. Certainly would be more penetrative than our corners.

jagfaelivi Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 If you check various threads I've been harping on about this for months and months. Is there NOBODY who can whip in a quick inswinger right on top of the goalie? We really do have to do something about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillresigned Posted April 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 To me it's not rocket science surely professional footballers can take a corner properly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
