Unsure what DF tells the team how to defend corners. Yesterday we lost to a corner that was very poorly defended. We had Kongola 10 yards from the corner taker I must guess that he was trying a 1 man wall and Copps was another 10 yards away in no man's land trying to pick up a player outside the 18 yard box. I am sure these 2 would have been better in the box 1 on each post that way we have a better chance of not conceding. It must be what DF wants we did it with every corner.Oh and talking of Kongola he was like Bamby on ice.
We have been terrible defending set pieces for about 10 seasons now,not just under Fergie.

I thought he was awful, off the pace of the ball all match, and whilst he did do better in the second half it doesn't mean he was any good, because the first half he didn't even look like a footballer. Rowe and Blair were our only players doing anything worth praising yesterday in my view.
How do we fare out of interest.1/3 of goals must be an average and I guess we are lower than that but I dont speak from a factual basis just a "feeling" that we dont do that well

I remember a better one though.90 mins. Penalty to Brentford.91 mins. Coppinger scores for Doncaster, tap in from two yards.
