    Makes me worried about defending them against Wrexham.

    Dont recall too many times we have conceded from set pieces. Wrexham are not the only team to be tall in this league.
    Plus if we have the ball 80% (wishful thinking) of the game then hopefully their 20% will be taking goal kicks in their half.

    We’ve conceded the fewest goals from set pieces in the division. Some improvement from last season.

    Dunno how I feel about the short corners really. Can be frustrating but we’re a short team with only really Cameron who you feel is an attacking threat in the air when the opposition is set, so it makes sense. Our goals come from shifting the angle of delivery etc so Langstaff and others can find space, but it’s annoying when it doesn’t work. Guess you can’t quantify how many goals we’ve scored from ‘keeping the pressure on’ playing it short, but never feels like we’re much of a threat when we do swing them into the box tbh.
