i concur too. However i doubt that it would have made a difference to the goal last night, simply because the ball got cleared to their left back position and was knocked straight back in. Our striker would have been in the centre circle and would not have got there in time to make a difference.

I have said this for years and we continue to do it, we should have two upfront defending corners that would take three players to mark them, moving people out the box so our defenders will have less chance of getting blocked and overcrowded.

He insists that 11 players are back defending corners. We won the header from the BR corner and cleared it to the half way line. But as we had now one out there, back comes the ball into the danger area. And they score.

When we had any corners BR left at least one player up front.

I would love to hear CT's opinion on this. Everyone around us in the Town end could see this, and I am sure others can as well.

When did it become fashionable to have all 11 players defending from corners?

I was always taught that you defended from the front, and so left one player, at least, up there to win the clearances and hold the ball up, to take the pressure off.

This is one piece of Stupidity from CT i cant forgive.

Get it stopped.


I concur and agree.

2 ways to look at this - a crowded box makes it harder for the attacking team to get a header or shot in without being closed down, so leaving 2 up may not be an advantage. However at least one man should be left up - Porter was superb at collecting any clearances and retaining possession and making runs to put us on the attack when he had laid it off.
Hopefully Behan can slot into that role just as well when we are defending corners/ free kicks.

I think Behan would be back in the box defending adding his aerial presence to help out the defence, I reckon Browny should be left on the half way line when we are defending corners

Turner is falling short big time for me.

Our Centre of Midfield is a joke. Sweeney has gone backwards as fast as Usain Bolt goes forwards, his touch is awful. Freddy is a decent player but clearly after watching him for five minutes is a winger, he is all left foot and creates space to go past people on that side in the middle that puts us in trouble, he gets caught and passes blind. How Turner expects us to compete with those two in a key area is beyond me.

Behan looks great, Flinders does, but to play a lad who has played on the left wing in a foreign country for all his life in the centre of midfield is fooking ridiculous. It could ruin him.

It's also showing Sweeney up as a very limited player. If Jones is fit and doesn't start in the centre of the park tomorrow my faith in Turner will wain a bit further.

Someone told me Jones is fit but Turner apparently said in the Mail that he will likely stick with the same side?

If thats true then im sorry but he is even more clueless as I think. The midfield pairing is not working at all. Its like playing with 10 men ffs.

he is doing the exact right thing, giving people a chance and not changing it after one slightly dodgy performance.

People deserve a chance to prove what they can do, he's giving them that chance......top mam-management in my eyes clappp

It appears we played much better when Jones came into the middle, like he did at Coventry, with a left winger and Sweeney in the centre of the park we won't pull up any trees. Freddy should be competing with Monkhouse to play wide left, that's his position it's not rocket science.
