Doyle has taken them over Andreu also.
Set pieces are poor throughout the side, we’ve very limited numbers who could take responsibility with them. Was the same last year with JJ on corners, they were shocking. Kelly was marginally better but not great the same with Shipley.
Even Connor Chaplins effort with the free kick was hitting the wall before he struck it. Tony Andreu is the one who’s the better all rounder on what we’ve seen but needs to play a deeper central role to be considered for selection in my eyes. He’s finally playing that role today for the u23’s

are you getting that from the formation picture on twitter or do we have confirmation its not 4-5-1 with him behind bakayoko?Set pieces are poor throughout the side, we’ve very limited numbers who could take responsibility with them.

You say Sterling and Thomas can't cross when people are saying Doyle can't take corners or free kicks. Did you see Doyle's attempt at the weekend, the one that nearly cost us a goal from a counter attack?
I was talking about a cross...Do you have selective reading? I have literally said I don't think he should be on corners.
However as i said. Robins sees them everyday in training, he has a much better understanding of their skills than you, or I.

People are talking about his set plays generally. Both free kicks and corners.
But we would be one place higherI don’t mind Doyle taking some free kicks but not every one when it’s a simple pass to another player. It’s also pointless him playing centre back when we have two ball playing defenders and in Davies a much better long passer than he is.
We played well yesterday but should have won 3-4 nil. You still only get 3 points though
I'd put Sterling on corners, his crossing is decent
Really struggling to remember us having many (quality) dead ball specialists in recent years - Cole and Maguire only played a handful of games, ditto Maddison... beyond them I can only really think of Danny Fox, with mentions for Clingan and McSheffrey (1st spell)
Thomas can't deliver a decent cross so what makes you think he can deliver corners?
I think they key thing is that, Robins sees them everyday in training maybes he's the best of a bad bunch..
Its fair to say Doyle decides who takes set pieces - Robins has admitted he selects himself for the first team every week

Chris McGuire?
AHEM... BUMP... Doyle set pieces are shit.... humble pie for a lot I think...
Why? One in what 30 is good - Seriously
and 15 free kicks absolutely wasted over 2 games. His inswinging corners have been decent from the right side. Has as much to do with Davies back in the side too.2 games 2 goals from corners.

Don't bump a thread and then argue like my 4 year old. It's great we've come good from corners from one side. He is still running over to any free kick that isn't 5 yards outside either penalty area and then taking woeful free kicks. You can't score from every free kick or corner, especially not in L1 as players miss chances (JCH should have had a hattrick of headers today) and players execute poorly but that's not an excuse for accepting mediocrity, which is a generous description of how our set pieces have been.Sorry I forgot that we were in the premier league... let me compare him to David Silva... yep fair enough he’s pretty crap
