are the defensive issue solvable on the training ground or is it just not good defenders? How often do you hear managers of the teams toiling near the bottom lamenting their defence and saying they will be on the training ground working on it Monday, a week later they are saying the same thing. You can work on certain aspects all week, but if someone decides during a match to not track an opponent from a set peace, what can you do, other than eventually change personnel eventually.

JG should hire a set piece coach. Its worked so far for Hearts offensively. Its the direction football is going in. It just seems we are being outsmarted by other teams making runs in the box which should be solvable.

No being funny but we need a set piece coach to be able to defend a corner? No chance.

JG must be tearing his hair out at the defending from corners so far. I'd imagine what he'll be doing is analysing and noting who isn't doing what they are being asked and eventually, when we have more options available, changes will be made.

I'm actually confident about that based on JG's record with us so far. His options are limited by inquiry so much just now.

The irony is Hearts set piece coach is Ross Grant who came from United


"Heart of Midlothian Football Club is delighted to confirm the appointment of Ross Grant as the club’s first Set Play Coach.

Bringing 15 years of experience to Gorgie across grassroots and professional settings, Ross also holds degrees in sports and performance coaching from Abertay and the University of Stirling.

Ross joins the Jambos from Premiership side Dundee United, where he spent four years coaching in the professional phase of the Tannadice academy."

Forming a key part of Derek McInnes’ backroom staff, he will provide tailored coaching and analysis to the first team as part of a data driven approach to improving both attacking and defensive set piece outcomes."

They beat us with 2 rehearsed set pieces.
