Crossing - Dead Ball Situations

Sun Apr 06, 2014 7:48 am

The best player for crossing a ball from corners/ free kicks without a doubt is Whitts followed by Bellamy. Both are also very good with direct free kicks. Neither were in the team yesterday and Bellamy only came on as a token effort towards the end of the game. Taylor's crossing was woeful and Mutch was not much better. It so happens that Bellamy took the best corner when he came on.

Where one of our few strengths is at set pieces surely Whitts or Bellamy or even both should have started against Palace, a team we knew were well organised at the back and not conceding many goals.

Bellamy started last week and dropped to the bench this week. Whitts in the squad and used as a sub last week and not even in the squad this week. How do you explain that?

Ask Ole.

I get the impression Ole is still experimenting. Perhaps he has been given that leniency due to coming into the club late in the season. Whatever the reasoning it has not installed confidence in me. The way its going it could take a few seasons to get back on track.

Pissed me off with the clowns on here stating anyone can take a free kick or corner......

The club needs to go through a detox stage, the only issue is how long and how far we drop.

Not sure how Tan exits, but the amateur hour period must end. Yes it is his money, but its only a loan !!!!

Ole won't be sacked or walk IMO......
