In reply to: eganonoa 's message, "I agree completely. As I say, I think the issue is more tactical and coaching than personnel. Right now I'm of the belief that a new keeper and a coaching shakeup (not Marco, but under him) are two priorities that would fix a lot and give us the better goals scored and goals conceded numbers that the underlying stats say we should have." on Monday, May 12, 09:59:20pm

Widely held (accurate?) impression we are a soft touch from opposition set pieces too. (NT) -- b+w g., Monday, May 12, 11:44:09pm (68.52.159.143.dyn.plus.net/143.159.52.68)
- Its less glaringly awful on the other side of things but we're definitely not good. See inside a recent article from Opta that indicates that we're among the worst at preventing shots (if not goals) following throw-ins and set-pieces. This I think is consistent with what we see. Its not so much that we immediately concede from set-pieces but we're a bit of a shambles and in the ensuing chaos we at worst concede, at best invite pressure and lose momentum. -- eganonoa, Tuesday, May 13, 01:18:09am (pool-108-18-149-21.washdc.fios.verizon.net/108.18.149.21)
