More positivity from SB...[b said:Quote[/b] (shrimpboy @ Aug. 15 2004,15:06)]Yeah our set pieces are awful. I can't remember the last time we scored from a free kick or corner (I can certainly remember the last time we conceded from one though). Too often they're wasted and go out for goal kicks or throw-ins.
Cheltenham's first came from a lofted free-kick on the halfway line that Edwards failed to defend, but it wasn't what I would call a goal conceded from a free-kick - at least it wasn't a goal conceded from an attacking free-kick at any rate, the goal was as good as from open play.[b said:Quote[/b] (overseas shrimper @ Aug. 15 2004,15:33)]Didn't one of our goals (first one maybe?) against Cheltenham on day 1 of this season come from a poorly defended free-kick.
I may be wrong, as I only 'listen' to the games, but that's how it sounded.
Yeah - we probably would, but then we'd be desperate for a goal from anywhere. My point, in essence was that we don't have such a problem defending set-pieces as SB seems to think, especially not from corners, and especially since his beloved Flahavan was relieved of the goalkeeper's gloves. There hasn't been a 25-yarder that's beaten the wall and the 'keeper, and nothing from close-in in wide positions in the current campaign, and just about all of the goals, though coming from defensive errors, have been on the counter-attack when teams expose our lack of pace at the back. Hence my calls for Barrett to replace Prior in the centre of defence.[b said:Quote[/b] (overseas shrimper @ Aug. 15 2004,15:56)]If we score a goal from such a move in the next few games, we'll be saying that we finally managed to score from a set-piece though... wouldn't we?
Still, I take your point and thanks... didn't know it was so far out. Bloomin' commentary.
Yeah well there's not exactly much to cheer about at the moment is there?[b said:Quote[/b] (Exiled Shrimper @ Aug. 15 2004,15:15)]More positivity from SB...[b said:Quote[/b] (shrimpboy @ Aug. 15 2004,15:06)]Yeah our set pieces are awful.

Agree with those except...[b said:
I thought that was quite obvious.[b said:Quote[/b] (Technician @ Aug. 15 2004,17:40)]Manchester United, who are nowhere near as talented as SUFC!
Yea but Barrets not exactly known for his pace as we heard from some Bristol R fans when we signed him. If your swapping for that reason id put Hunt in there.[b said:
Why because one person insists on taking them[b said:
Still doing that, is he?[b said:
