What a turnaround for them with an experienced manager and a squad full of experienced players oh and an injured out of form arrogant striker who is now scoring for fun
It’s really not rocket science this game why do we end up with these managers who overthink it all the time
Pick you best experienced 11 and don’t be dropping or subbing your best players unless injured |  | | |  |

And Norwich. They looked down and out but are now right back in it. |  | | |

It’s probably because those who own and run Sheffield Utd and Norwich still see themselves as primarily a Football Club rather than a Player Trading Business with a Fun Fair attached.
No point whatsoever in employing a manager who doesn’t fit the business model it would just cause untold problems,don’t you know. [Post edited 2 Jan 9:07]

What I've noticed in this division is how many of the goals result from crosses and corners, so what you need to succeed are big centre forwards who win everything in the air and wingers who can deliver crosses to them. |  |

Don’t get a lot of crosses and corners in the treatment room at Staplewood unfortunately. | |

That's probably the one area where we are showing improvement. Harwood-Bellis and Wood are winning more in the air. We lack full-backs to stop wingers getting the crosses in though, especially on our right flank which opposition managers target, and, above all, we miss a big centre forward who can head the ball into the net. About the only time we threaten is when Harwood-Bellis and Wood come up for corners, but that leaves us exposed to counterattacks. | |

Whats the point of winning headers if all they do with them is put it out for a corner or give them back to the other team?
We need a
Goalkeeper
Centre Half
Centre Forward | | | |

Yes, even when Walker-Peters was our right back, opposition managers knew the way to beat Southampton was to attack our right flank, often by doubling up, and put crosses into our box. They all do it now. We do the same at the other end but have no centre forward to get on the end of the crosses. Why we persist in sending in high crosses and corners is beyond me as much as it is beyond our aerially challenged strikers. Every time our corner takers put their arms up to let the opposition know that it's going to be another high one, I groan - I groan a lot. A few low crosses and corners to the near post would be far more effective for us and would really surprise them. [Post edited 2 Jan 9:49]

Completely agree
The amount of times my son was saying gut it low across the box
We should be pulling corners back to the edge
Throwing high looping balls into the box is pointless and yesterday against there huge CBs even more so
I honestly don’t think we practise set pieces our throw ins are cack take an age and always backwards and inevitably to an opponent and our corners aren’t much better | | | |

Yes, opposition defenders are so sure now that it's going to be yet another high one lobbed into their box, that they leave the near post totally undefended. A quick forward, if we have one, could dart forward unchallenged for an easy tap in from a corner played along the ground to the near post. | |
