The corners were awful.. but as plenty have said, far more positives than negatives this season. I don't agree with people about the throw-in.. it obviously ended in a mess, but to be honest, it was a gamble at 0-1 to try and guarantee possession in the 92nd minute to make sure we didn't simply toss it up the line and gamble possession. It didn't happen, but lets not pretend that throw-in is taken like that in any other scenario.

Watch his throw in's, every single one goes back, no matter where it is along the line. It is the first thing he likes for. He's out Fake Stephens of the throw in's.

I just raise an eyebrow at how much latitude he gets from some folk, probably because he is a local lad.... he has been playing in the 1st team for close on 7 years on and off, he is 27 in the summer, he has played 199 games, the vast majority of those in an attacking role..... yet.... he has scored only 14 goals.... that's one goal every 14 games in all comps..... for context, Shane Duffy, a defender, only 2 years older, has scored 21 goals in his career so far, a goal every 14 games......

I genuinely feel we need to move him on, we need more dynamism and quality end product... not back passes simply to maintain possession... and crosses or corners that barely make it over the first defender.

Isn't that true of most throw-ins? That's where the free man tends to be isn't it? Not sure I've noticed his are any more backwards than anyone else's, but to be honest haven't been looking that closely? If they are, that one last night was a development for you!! It was sideways...:)

I didn't say he was shite. He's good. But he is so one footed and lacks top quality. Therefore, he's limited at this level.

Did you see the winning goal he scored at Villa?

It was both right foot and top quality.

When he's good he's excellent, the only thing that limits him is consistency.

Why is everyone pretending he's a good corner taker? He's not. Look at the corners he's taken over the last couple of seasons, they aren't good. When you consider the players we've got in the box, we aren't enough of a threat from corners and that's down to the takers.

We've scored from a couple of corners recently and hallelujah, but let's not pretend that he's a good corner taker - he isn't.

Why is everyone pretending he’s a good player? He’s a good ball carrier granted but not a good player. Can’t defend can’t cross but he’s from Sussex so hey let’s make him player of the season :facepalm:

Thanks goodness all of our set pieces not taken by March this season have been of the absolute highest quality.

Oh, wait...

To be fair, season to date he is our best player. Which is why we've got 2 wins in 18 games, just 14 points from an available 54. We need better performances across the board where it actually matters and if he's going to carry on taking every set piece, he needs to be doing far better with them. I don't see an argument that he hasn't been our best player though.

Biss has been our best player this season by miles. I’m not digging out March I just don’t think he’s good enough for the PL.

March is not good enough for the PL?!! Is that a ****ing piss take?! One of the most ridiculous comments I've ever seen on here.

He and Biss are comfortably our players of the season but I would put March slightly ahead.

Very few of them are.
If we go down, who will we get decent bids for?
Lamptey, Bissouma, and...
I don't think Dunk will go anywhere now, partly due to his age.

Sorry but no b....y excuse. Professional footballer. 2 corners in last five minutes One not past first defender and next one out of play.

If thats all you have to stress about these days, your a very lucky person.

That is an opinion.... maybe one formed whilst smoking methamphetamine.... but an opinion nonetheless.
