Why are we so utterly dreadful at offensive set pieces? I don't remember us scoring any goals from a corner this season and not much better from free kicks. Most teams achieve a reasonable rate of return from set pieces (for example, last night Bristol ****ty scored 2 goals from corners) but we never look threatening. Only Pablo looks like he might ever score from a free kick. Douglas arrived with the reputation of a great 'assist' provider but has done very little (last season or this). Phillips seems to have reasonable delivery but too often fails to even clear the first defender and if the ball does ever reach the danger (or, in our case - not so danger) area then nobody ever gets on the end of it.

Set pieces should make an important contribution to our goal tally - particulary important for us at the moment since we seem to find goals of any sort hard to come by.

So why is it that we are so sh1t at them?
