At the very least we need to work on set pieces. Our record on corners Is abysmal as has been well documented. And were hardly better from free kicks. I'm not saying we should base our entire game on that, but this is just ridiculous. In tight games like Tuesday it can be the difference. It also makes it so easy for the defenders, just put it out for a corner, just give the free kick away because we aren't going to punish them. When we faced the scum under Warnock I was a bag of nerves every time they got a free kick and it didn't have to be in our half, and you felt it in the way we defended, that element of doubt the fear of Cardiff from free kicks would put into their minds.
