Defending corners/crosses

We are crap. Our last 3 managers are 2centrehalfs and a centre forward who you think would have a clue at both ends.
Clueless.

The problem especially against teams with tall players is that Kipre is trying to mark three or four tall attackers whilst Perry Ng looks for a step ladder and the goalie has his boots nailed to the goal line.

We only have two players in the team who can head the ball - Kipre and O'Dowda. With a goalkeeper who rarely dominates his area that means we will continue to struggle at set pieces unless Simpson can be fitted in to the team. Morison appeared to realise this just before he was sacked.

Perry Ng is a decent footballer but he's too small to be a centre half against most of the teams at Championship level.

It's the same at other end of pitch? No arial threat whatsoever... very poor by Watford to let only tall player we have to have so much room.
