Is it me or do we seem to turn the vast majority of our thrown ins into chances for the opposition within two or three passes? They are genuinely shocking

Still early days for Marti to work on specifics though - we saw one free kick pushed back to Bonner for a shot, that was something different. Mind you, we fucked that up. It turned into a hospital ball for Bonner as it was under hit. Fair play to the lad for having the bottle to still put his foot through it when being closed down quickly.

Football is all about fine margins and throws and set pieces are a chance to execute something where your one step ahead of the opposition but for years we appear to have totally ignored the value of getting them right.

Just seen an article detailing the role of set pieces in modern game in which they even classify throw-ins as important.
Luton have scored 9 of their 18 total goal tally from set pieces this season, compared to one from Salter for us.

Yeo today as their first was corner set piece Is this our main problem? Where would we be in the table if it wasn't for this? So it's not only our failure to convert our own but the amount of goals we're conceding from set-pieces too. |

8 goals of the 12 conceded under Marti have all been from set pieces. Is this our main problem? Where would we be in the table if it wasn't for this? this is what gives me glimmer of hope as if we sort it out were pretty solid and robust from open play but can we stop the leaks from dead balls |

Constantly concede from them and never score from them.
Wtf do they even do on the training pitch?

When was the last time we actually had someone who could take a decent set piece? Honestly, I feel like we must be one of the most incompetent teams in the division for set pieces.

anderson is allegedly a set piece specialist so i imagine thats something he'll be go on going forward.
tbh i've never understood why we haven't had one of them in the team. even if they're only league 1 quality but amazing at set pieces its worth having as an option off the bench.
wycombe had matt bloomfield for years as their set piece option even though he was only a league 2 standard player

The French left back we had a few seasons ago, didn't he take free kicks at least. He plays for Bordeaux now I think.
From now on, Andersen should take them imo.

Yes I agree, Corbray. But it is for Bordeaux he scores from set pieces. My bad.

Paal had solid game but sometimes tucked in too much imho and left a lot of space for their winger

As someone said in the match thread last night, when we get a corner none of us feel even vaguely excited. Paal struggles to beat the first man and Chairs are normally overhit or straight to the goalkeeper.
I read that Andersen was a set piece expert. When you have him on the pitch why not let him take them?
It almost seems a status thing at QPR that Chair and Paal get to take them out of seniority or because they have been here longest. If you have someone who maybe doesn't have quite the legs of old but is bloody skilled at a dead ball, bloody well give it to him. Indeed, if he is genuinely very good at this stuff, that's almost worth a starting place alone as (ref the Armstrong thread) its what actually results in goals.

Woeful at both ends of the pitch with set pieces. I feel for the centre backs who trot only to see the corner hitting the first man for the 8th time in the match. As for defending them total and utter shambles

Big part of defending a corner is the keeper coming for the ball. Begovic rarely does so there is extra pressure on defenders who usually jumping from standing where opponents get a run to jump. No confidence in the keeper and a few players who lack concentration is a disaster.

No confidence in the keeper and a few players who lack concentration is a disaster. 6 foot 5 or so yet never affects a set piece. Too many teams get good connection with zero pressure or marking. Dreadful defensively from set pieces. |
