    We seem to stand around for the perfect ball.

    Amazes me

    That professional footballers don't have a bit more imagination .. I mean in American football they have a series of "plays" the rehearse & they indicate them to their teammates.
    What do we get - One arm in the air "Hey everyone it's coming to the near post" or Two arms up, "Hey everyone it's coming to the backpost ... just stand there whilst I kick it....."

    Then again, you'd think you could rely on a pro footballer to find a spot within 1000square yards that is on the pitch, but how many times do we see it go straight out?!! (doh)

    Too right...........just like we were stood around when Foster scored v Derby....and just like we were stood around when Foster won the penalty v SWFC. You might want to think your thoughts through a bit more pal on this one.

    You may want to watch us at corners and make your our mind up because most of the time we just stand there.

    I take your point but isn't this largely down to lack of confidence generated by a bad run of results? Once we got a foothold v Wednesday every player wanted the ball and that includes when we were taking corners.
