Must be a couple of years?
It would help if our corner takers actually put the ball anyplace it could be headed.I've been saying this for a while. We win a lot of corners but we rarely score from them. It's a big miss in our abilities for me. We need to sign a CB who is an attacking corner beast in the summer
Big lads get their runs blocked & marked out of contesting the ball at corners & freekicks... I've always thought we need to work on plays that target other players that can win headers against their markers - find space more easily - empty the central area ( setup level with front & back post ) so it can be attacked into..I've been saying this for a while.

what you need is your biggish lads to provide a suitable block to give your big lad the space to get the run and momentum to be unstoppable. We don't do the blocks well.Big lads get their runs blocked & marked out of contesting the ball at corners & freekicks...

Ideally one CB should be a 4-6 goal beast, the other should be looking at 2 goals. FBs 3 goals between them. CDMs 6-8 between them. Those should be the targets. A minimum of 15 goals from those 6 players, they've got about 2 I think.Our defensive players don't score enough goals.
Fry and Lenihan should each be getting 3 or 4 a season, from corners and free kicks.
Full backs the same numbers really.
defensive midfielders - Howson and Hackney - should be chipping in with similar amounts
Thats 20 goals a season
If that’s where your ST is Windy, you’re very close to me!!
A bit shakey but this is a Danny Ayala goal
