Ralls is trying to whip in corners at pace. To be fair last season Camarasa was regularly failing to beat the 1st man. Ralls rarely does this.
2 corners were overhit. What is annoying is all our players are bunched in the middle. There should be an option of a player or 2 to pick up a long one. Neither of the 2 were miles out.
They should be working much harder at set pieces.
At the moment it look like hit it in hard and hope Flint or Morrison get on the end of it.
It was poor quality. But in the bigger picture the 2 long corners were way down the list of problems last night.
Camarasa a technically gifted player was hitting far worse corners all through last season.
If wed played well and won last night the long corners wouldnt be mentioned.
Do you think the negative reaction was down to what was happening in this one game in isolation? I don't.
In terms of basic skills like passing the ball and delivering set-pieces, the current side often looks abysmal even when it's winning or drawing. I genuinely can't remember a City side looking so poor at this level since they returned to it in 2003. Of course, they have spirit and determination, they fight and battle and they often manage to unsettle much better footballing sides as a result, last night being a fine example of that. They manage to grind out results by hook or by crook. Nevertheless, their play is generally ugly. I think the crowd has been reacting to that more than individual errors.
"no other outcome than a negative one". Half time 0-1. Full time 1-1 😂 Maybe our players have more balls than half the fans on here 😂
In my opinion, it's entirely justified. Those are Championship footballers out there. Some of them are internationals. Nevertheless, most of them currently don't look like they have an ounce of creativity in them or the ability to pass the ball ten yards in a straight line.
Do you think they're not capable of better?
Both to varying degrees. Nevertheless, most of the individual players in that squad have definitely got the ability to do better with the ball than they were doing last night or have been doing for most of this season. It doesn't matter what the tactics or team selection is, if the players can't pass the ball ten yards when they have time and space to do so they can only blame themselves. They're better than that.
After an appalling 1st half and after an international break to work on tactics to restart the kick off with that dinosaur tactic of a hoof down the wing predictably lost and giving possession back to them then i dont blame anyone booing that.
Apart from it being a sh!t tactic we always do it and the opposition know its coming.
