Snodgrass

Why is snoddy taking free kicks n corners when 9 times out of 10 he can't beat the first defender?

We aint ecxactly bursting with deadball talent at the moment.

Most of them actually went to far post, 1 hit first man, 1 just over shot last man.
Don't know what you're on about.

Just like he messed up against Hull scoring direct from the free kick.

The way he takes them with the spin put on the ball, there will be a few that go too low, but when he gets it right it's very difficult to defend against.

I can see some logic in calling for Snoddy to take a back seat at some setplays. Yes, he does get the spin like RobLUFC says however we become a bit too obvious in our intentions from set plays. We rarely look like scoring from corners. Why not play more in-swingers?

For me, Snoddy should be our main direct free kick taker however Nunez has a good cross on him as does Tom Leeds. Maybe if we shake it up a bit we may get more joy from set plays?

We can't one bit complain about today. We deserved all the points and we can be very proud to be Leeds United!

What shirt
At least 3 corners cleared by 1st defender and Greenock straight at the wall

Freekick, not Greenock

That's 1 free kick. Remember Tuesday night?
I agree the corner takers need to be switched so we're not obvious. Not Snoddy shouldn't be removed. I don't like having Snoddy take right corners because he's right footed. I'd rather inswing. Or at least switch every so often so it isn't obvious.

WhatShirt - fully agree. It's one area that the coaching team need to work on as we look to keep improving. MOT.
