The problem is our otherwise excellent goalkeeper has no presence during set pieces, the CB's are fine. Bong is another weakness, missed his player a couple of times at WBA. A strong GK is needed.

The simple answer is Dunk and Duffy are the best centre halves at the club and we just need to work and work at it until we get it right.
Couple of observations we do seem to concede a lot of corners and free kicks maybe because most of the game is played in our half. Also our wingers are poor at defending set play why not put one or two players up the pitch to take out three or four attackers from a crowded penalty area.

That has been suggested but CH wont change his ways although as you put it it makes logical sense leaving Knockaert and Iziquierdo either side of the pitch on the half way line would mean them leaving 4 players back 2 to mark each player thus the most they could put in the box is 6 to be defended by our 8 + Ryan. That gives 1 man for man and 2 free to pick up the spaces or runners.
