rowsdower Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I randomly got thinking about a fan that used to write to the club to tell them to take more in inswinging corners. I wonder if they still get letters or if it's all tweets now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Where do we stand on leaving a player up at opposition corners? Anybody tweeted the club about it?It drives me nuts but I heard Alexander justifying it as we've lost less than the average number of goals from corners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 When I was a wean I wrote to McCleish to sign players from Africa. He sent me a hand written note thanking me for the advice, and we signed Shivute. It was a different time, now you have to reply to every single tweet the club makes with your demands and you don't even get a bicep emoji back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have someone who can carry the ball for distance on the break, like Watt/Scott/Cadden and even Grimshaw did at one point, we can get away with not having someone up, but we don't really have anyone like that now. Maybe I can tweet for the leaving a man up, and write a letter for getting someone to run with the ball, and see what works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought this was a role tailor made for Woolery, remember him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It drives me nuts but I heard Alexander justifying it as we've lost less than the average number of goals from corners. the very same question was put to the Rotherham Manager the other day, apparently they don't leave anyone up at corners. His response was 'show me your ten favourite goals that have come from defending a corner' He also said the more players you have in the box, the more congested it is, and therefore harder for the opposition to score which is absolutely fair enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hastie one was a cracker as well. The Marvin Johnson won me £400.00 on a coupon, went into game and bought an Xbox 5 minutes later. fwiw, i've never bothered too much about it. Just happened to see the Rotherham thing and give something to distract from the nerves tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's, again, something that wouldn't bother me, but given we never, ever look like scoring ever again, it will continue to annoy me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
