    Have we got anyone that can take a free kick or corner with any degree of consistency? Does Hill provide any instruction as to who is supposed to be taking charge of these? It certainly doesn't look like it.

    The conditions were poor yesterday, but several players had a go without much success. A shame, as we have plenty of height in the team - we ought to be more of a threat.

    Jay Mac took a couple of decent corners, but that's about all I can remember.

    It's also surprising we don't send any central defenders forward when we get a free kick on the half way line.

    I'm not convinced we are playing the percentages properly at the moment.

    A decent set piece specialist is worth a place in any team.

    Well, I'd like to see Doyle back in the team. He has taken set pieces in the past - to reasonable effect. That would be a start.

    I can't see that happening he's too simular to Perkins I can't see Doyle improving anything on yesterdays performance.

    Its discusting that a pro footballer carnt take a decent corner or at barnsley struggle to put a decent cross in they should be doing that **** with their eyes shut. Even i can kick a bloody ball in a box good enough for someone to stick their nut on it n these donkeys get paid for it.

    ossett red, Doyle has/can do the role Addison had yesterday and been

    a darn sight more effective. Apart from the height perspective, I don't see what Addison brings to the team what Doyle can't??
