Another two today, and we have scored the most headed goals in the league this year by a large margin (15, QPR second with 9)

Well done lads, long may it continue!

Quality of crosses is good and we're getting lots of players in the box

Funnily enough I watched a "montage" of all our goals this season and hadn't realised how many were headers.

Lampard has certainly made a difference to the number of players getting into the box … the wide players attack the back post and and 2 of the central midfielders get into the box as well. This is one of the biggest attacking changes.

A lot of credit to EMC for the first today.
Thought he was going to let it go for a corner but kept it alive and delivered a great cross.

It’s exciting, every time we get a set peice or get the ball wide you think we’ve got a chance. Amount of players in the box every time we get the ball in wide areas is fantastic

Even better when you consider we're not that big of a side too. Preston seemed bigger than us today, the quality of the delivery and well drilled training clearly more important.

Where is this montage? Do feel free to share. I loved the 21/22 season montage with all the late goals. In my head this season is a disappointment but we’re still on the edge of the playoffs. The montage may help lift my mild depression!

I feel like we're a pretty tall team these days?

Still got a fair few short players in the squad. Dasilva, Allen, Sakamoto, Paterson, BTA, Raphael

Yeh we're not going to have a team of giants, few teams do. But overall we're not a short team at all.

The quality of our deliveries from sakamoto rudoni and mason Clarke are really quite something

With the amount of crosses we put into the box every game even before Frank we should score loads of headers, under Robins we kept putting crosses in to 1 or 2 men in the box who were all doubled up on because we had no one else attacking the box now under lampard we’re a proper threat from a cross as we send a few more in and players like Simms and Haji and Rudoni are only marked by 1 even if Kitching or Thomas come up they only have 1 man and Tats/EMC always attack a cross well

Agreed, we’re a lot quicker at putting the ball in the box. It was often the case that under Robins, by the time we crossed the ball, defences would have 8-9 players in the box.

Yesterday, there were occasions where as soon as the full back and Rudoni had the overload, the winger would sprint to add another body to the box. EMC did this well and believe utilising Wright in this will be even more dangerous.

Haji is the final piece and Sakamoto is the weakest link out of Haji, EMC, Simms, Rudoni and Sakamoto.
