[Albion] Surely we must have some decent free kick takers in this squad?

One positive of the suspension…….
My son's new band name is "Brighton Free Kick Takers."
Great plan. So based on all the observations and data from training, who do you suggest takes them instead?
Anyone think tonight was going to be THE ONE?
No, me neither...

He must be putting them away in training?
Nope. I was hoping Enciso would take it. I'm sure he would be good at them. One of the cleanest strikers of the ball we have.

I thought exactly this at the time, and shirley it can't be worse than Dunks 15th failed attempt.

All the interviews I’ve ever seen from RDZ and coaching staff players etc all go on about how he is so obsessed with football. Two things we are shit ot set plays and he puts a dodgy keeper in goal for massive games. I mean they are the basics of the game right? a good keeper keeps you in games and set plays can win you games

He's not obsessed. He's a romantic. Which is sweet, and mostly great, but f*** me our defending and set pieces are poor.All the interviews I’ve ever seen from RDZ and coaching staff players etc all go on about how he is so obsessed with football.

We were joking about Dunk taking that one in the first half, as it seemed we had finally figured out it obviously wasn't working. Expected to look up and see Gross, Enciso, even Welbeck over it after his decent effort against Everton.
Then Dunk steps up and hoons it into the wall

Like us, Brentford are run by a data led owner - but they seem to be able to use this data to bring in the best set piece coaches. So good, that as well as having a great record at set pieces, their coaches are constantly poached - but then they find a new one, who is equally as good.

The romantic in me thought it was especially given the context. But like @Oh_aye Julio lingering made me want him to take it.

He hit the bar this season didn't he? I can't remember who it was against.
Scored that one at Anfield years ago when Adrian wasn't paying attention. Pretty sure that's the only successful one.
