    Absolutely crazy tactic and cost us the win today.

    Its counter productive. Wednesday take corner, Mccourt clears perfectly up to the half way. their defender has time to put the ball straight back into our box and they score.

    stick Pederson on half way line and we win 1-0.

    we defended every corner with 11 men, too negative

    Does my head in, we pack the box out, keeper penned in, yet the opposition are the ones that seem to get on the end of things. The most pointless, negative tactic in football in my opinion.

    Everyone in the stadium can see it, why can't our manager???? Leave at least one player up to chase any clearance, football tactics 101.

    We defended corners well generally. Unfortunately we completely switched off after the clearance and left men unmarked.

    I don't agree about Pedersen, we need his height for corners against a big Wednesday side.

    Part of defending a corner is to stop that clearance coming straight back in

    I'd have stuck Perkins up there - he's not going win that many headers in the box. :D
