Agree what you saying about set pieces and would have Townsend taking them BUT yesterday the reason that Bos was taking them and floating them is because Samba was telling him too. On the first 2 or 3 free kicks he half hearted crossed the ball in and Samba was shouting at him to put them up high in which we scored a goal by doing as the keeper come out and with Sambas presence couldn't get a full punch on the ball but I would prefer a whipped in ball but that wouldn't play to Sambas strength

Interesting mate and I didn't notice that. Probably explains it but think we need to at least mix it up a little. The floated ball is was getting gobbled up and needed some variety.Agree what you saying about set pieces and would have Townsend taking them BUT yesterday the reason that Bos was taking them and floating them is because Samba was telling him too.

Clearly I was the best player on the pitch.
I scored 5 and made 7 last ditch tackles.
We lost 5-0 but the rest of my team were sh it!Comment

Problem is we always look to accommodate Samba coz his our most dangerous outlet and is probably the right decision but on the odd occasion we should let Samba go deep and they will obviously track him and then whip the ball into the near post and have 2 runners for the flick inComment

Agree, I mean I do apprectiate Samba's strength in the air. I was at the home game where he scored 2 headers and made halls life hell but if they double up on him it makes life tough for him. Also it's a big ask for our quality to give him a pin point cross. I agree it should open up opportunitys for other players, but when a balls played in at pace, it's much harder to defend and even prior to Samba signing, we never whipped the ball in then either. Allbeit adel's set pieces were very poor.Problem is we always look to accommodate Samba coz his our most dangerous outlet and is probably the right decision but on the odd occasion we should let Samba go deep and they will obviously track him and then whip the ball into the near post and have 2 runners for the flick inI played sunday league football today.

I just find we are so static at set pieces,we need to make it difficult to defend against us ie players moving from near post to back post and visa versa, this doesn't just confuse defences but also makes them take there eye of the ball so we can attack the ball and be a yard in front of themAgree, I mean I do apprectiate Samba's strength in the air.
