    It's been our achilles heel all season, possibly as well as finishing.

    Devaney shows excellent skill to beat players, but can't cross, or shoot well very often.

    Shuker tries hard, but can't cross.

    Why do we persist with them taking corners?!

    Why doesn't McPhail take all our set-pieces?

    Why are we the only team who float corners in and don't try and hit them in with pace?

    Why, why, why for Christ's sake.

    Apologies, but this issue does my head in.

    corners really piss me off

    The manager has to take responsibility for the fact that every single corner that we take is the same floated ball to the front post. we never score from it and everybody i nthe ground knows it doesnt work apart from him.

    shukers problem is relative to his height

    he cant kick a ball far or high enough with his legs.

    Devaney is a larger martin bullock with stubble - show pony with little end product! Oh how he she have buried that chance with only the keeper to beat!!! My god!

    Nad should ave stayed on the pitch, hayes on for shuker and switched the wingers.

    We could take corners for 90 minutes against any defence in this league...

    And not score from one, it's a joke.

    It's maybe 10% to do with movement in there from the players but it's 90% down to the crap delivery.

    I cannot understand why 2 wingers who can't cross a ball for toffee take most of the corners, and take them equally badly (furious)

    whoever took them though they wouldnt work because they are always too close to the net.

    Is that why we never send Kay or Reid up for free kicks?

    I've laboured this point befroe, but it IS starting to irritate me.

    ONCE AGAIN, with the last kick of the first half, we took a short free kick, lost it and the ref blew the whistle. Why wasn't this lumped into the box?

    I bet I know what Huddersfield would have done.
