I didn't see the whole game this weekend only highlights on BBC but I could see that we are a shambles on defending corners and free kicks into the box. I don't remember seeing us win a single header. Other posters have highlighted wingers that aren't good enough, strikers not taking our chances or a powder puff midfield. To an extent I agree, but for me the worst aspect of this team is defending corners and free kicks. What do they do in training?

Going forward I would be happy for us to get a dead ball expert in to help with coaching . Arsenal being the main beneficiaries of this when they took Man City’s one . For seasons we have been shocking at dead ball chances. We have more corners than prob all the other teams but I would guess our scoring rate from corners and free kicks is amongst the lowest. And we have been poor at defending them as well.
Obviously a coach can only help so much if we don’t have a player that can whip a ball in, which going on this seasons evidence we don’t, however a specialised coach can only help.
Seems weird that goalkeeping coaches are the norm but something that costs you games and wins you games, the vast majority don’t have a specific coach for that.

Highlights of matches haven’t the time to show routine headed clearances from any defence. Apart from the Sevco match this week’s highlights were very skimped and anything that created any little bit of a chance for Dundee was shown .
I don’t usually watch highlight programme, but from what I seen of Sevco match I don’t know how Platinum balls Butland wasn’t sent off for his taking out the St Mirren player after Butland had got to ball . He followed on right through him and was extremely lucky he didn’t get red.
