[Albion] That Stacking Mechanism At Set Pieces?

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Did we nick that from somewhere or just invent it?

For those that never saw it yesterday, involves about half a dozen Albion players forming an orderly queue in front of goal before the kick gets taken. Looks pretty hard to defend against, has to be said. Or at least harder than the traditional MELEE

Oh I was just trying to be funny! Think it's a great technique by the team.

If they are doing that they may as well rugby lift Dunk to reach the header. Is it illegal to assist the jump of your own team player?

Would be harder to defend if we had someone who could take a decent corner or free kick

I’m surprised more teams don’t try it as it was very effective when England used it

No you can't, while there is not a direct rule that covers this, it has by convention been deemed as unsporting behaviour and against the spirit of the game. Indirect free kick and caution for players involved if ref applies letter of the rules...

De Niro leading the pack , geezer at the back has got a sweat on.

I’ve seen it called a man train.

I first saw it done by the Japanese womens team some years ago at the WC. I'm pretty sure they did it with alot more players than we did.

How much input does Dan Ashworth have on training? Is this something he may have developed and brought across from the national team?
