Maybe rather than questioning the ability of our current players, there deserves to be a bit of scrutiny over our training methods and set-pieces in particular.
When it comes to free-kicks and corners we generally offer very little threat. Hammelll used to have a decent strike on him, now he seems content at 'lofting' the ball into the box when he is 25 yards from goal.
As for corners, there is rarely any pace on the ball. And why the fuck do we keep Craigan and Reynolds back? Very few clubs in world football must keep both there centre halves back at corners. Craigan and Reynolds used to pop up with a goal once in a while did they not!?
