Been here 18 months or so. Set piece and first team coach. I see the fans below are suggesting we bring in SCP as a replacement. That would be amazing.
was he hanging on until we actually scored from a set piece before quitting.
Shame you couldn't get a Wembley ticket
Great as Macca's free kick was for the winner at Wembley, and it was, yesterday's corner was more of a training ground routine, and perfectly executed...
Not if Jones never got his head on it as being suggested
Bit pedantic there, the routine worked...
Thank goodness as the rest of our set pieces were woeful.

Not according to this from March.
Think most of our set pieces goals though have come from just having quite a big physical side compared to the rest of the league. Besides Orient where there was a clear plan to hit it close to Keeley knowing he’s not a commanding keeper, Haven’t seen many other set piece wizardry other than playing a short corner and somehow end up recycling back to the halfway line

As they say......there are lies, damned lies and statistics.
We score very few goals direct from a free kick ala Ricky Holmes or Jonny Jackson. Maybe 3 last season, inc the play off winner.
We also score very few direct from corners .....2 at Orient of course but most, like Saturdays, is a nod back into the 6 yard box for someone to finish. I dont class them as set piece goals.
Set piece routines are increasingly complex and varied. That's why you have a set piece coach, if the job was just 'cross that ball onto that bloke's head and he scores' then the role would never have developed. Knibbs' goal was part of a routine; Coventry played the ball over the keeper deep to the back post where it's hard to defend because it's so close to the line. Difficult to get hold of Jones if he's nearly off the pitch. In the meantime Docherty was a little gremlin blocking off the second man near Jones and then the keeper. Knibbs moved into the space where a knockdown was due and put it in. Classic set piece routine that will have been worked on in training.
I'm really not sure that we need many if any more signings unless the intention is to offload or loan more players out. Also, unlike previous seasons, we haven't had to resort to getting in loans so have plenty of options there as and when they are needed to plug any potential gaps.

Saturday’s was a set piece goal.
