can anyone else agree with me in saying that they also are pulling there hair out why we dont leave a man up top when defending a corner?? its so annoying, if we were to leave one up front there will need to be at least 2 defenders with him, and theres the chance of the break..... Also if we do manage to clear it because there is nobody up top to chase the ball down we sit on the edge of the box inviting pressure! i think we are the only top league club not to leave one up! feed.back |

It was frustrating last night at times but maybe the players put the emphasis on defending the corner rather than looking for the next chance. Newcastle are a very strong team with the majority of individual players costing as muchas most of our squad. I like the way we are now breaking quicker and getting forwards better when we can. |

It is striking the right balance really. Our defenders arenlt the best at picking out our own players at times! LOL I'd leave the quickest player up on the half way line, just inside our own half so he can't be offside. That way their defence will be preoccupied with him. The oposition do pile everyone frowards knowing there's nobody left up to worry about. |

But if the box becomes too crowded it does'nt help the keeper. Most teams leave a few players upfield so the attacking team can't commit as many people forward. In the 2nd half last night we missed Nafti as he is always the first player to come out of the box and close down the second ball. The rest of them were just too slow and we got pinned back. |

we must be the unluckiest club in history then to get Bruce and then McLeish who both don't leave a man out. Do Wigan not do the same now I wonder. |

What is annoying is playing a defender on the right wing for the second half when we paid 1 million for half a season loan for a skillfull Argentinian and only play him for 4 mins!!! |

what's more annoying is we never win our own throwings, we always give it away no matter if we throw it long or short!!!!!!!!!! |
