    Hand’s up Cadden

    When Cadden prepares a deadball strike, i.e. corner or free kick, when raises both arms aloft … does this signal to our players it’s going to be phish and not clear opposition first man ?

    Appears to be no real thought or variation in our throw ins, free kicks or corners seems as if the tactic is hit and hope. ��

    It's odd because it's not that long ago we were a real threat from set pieces - and it wasn't only Moult scoring. We certainly have the sort of player that should be capable of threatening.

    Ally McCoist's only notable contribution as analyst on Saturday was that Cadden seems to have given up even trying to whip the ball in at set pieces - everything seems floated up in the air. No idea if it's his lack of confidence or Robinson's instructions but it needs to change immediately, it's completely neutralising one of our best weapons.

    That's where we are missing Peter Hartley. He has scored a few from set pieces and was always a threat in the opposition box. Don't think we are missing him to much in defence as Aldrid has covered well but we do miss him in the opposition box.

    Thank chri5t ! I thought it was only me that saw Cadden's deliveries as being mince. The old 2 hands in the air routine when taking the free kicks is a clear signal that it's gonna be pi5h !!

    Maybe needs to whip free kicks in with a bit of pace rather than his latest batch of lofted ones which seem to give opposition easier time of defending them
