After that the team don't have strengths in going forward with the kick it up field tactic, we have to play it out from the back, using wingers to use the space, & get balls into the oppositions penalty area .
Why do we keep shoving Smith out onto the wing, been said hes a good crosser of the ball, thats not his job, he should be in the penalty area waiting for a ball to be crossed to him.
With corners we get we never have a player at the far post for a over crossed corner or free kick, in defence we don't defend the far post area, when crosses from corners or free kicks are taken by the opposition.
I can never understand why we have one forward up field when the opposition has a corner, how many times do we see our forward not get the ball, so the opposition keeps the pressure on by returning the ball straight into our area, to me we should have two forwards in the outfield when the opposition gets a corner, that means that less opposition players are in our area, because two or three of their defenders have to mark our two forwards.
Warne gets the pay for doing the job, time to change things around, different tactics, or new backroom staff / adviser, otherwise division one awaits the club.
