Losing to Boro today is not the end of the world, they looked a very useful side whilst we looked tired and down to the bare bones and totally lacking in creativity.

It's how often we concede from set pieces, in fact we looked like conceding at every Boro set piece today, whilst being completely useless at set pieces ourselves.

Surely with the quality of players and coaches we have , we should not be wasting pretty well all set pieces?

Opposing teams must be very encouraged to know that we are now conceding from set pieces every game....whilst posing no threat from them.

It's a worry, well it is to me

It is a good point. We've conceded 5 out of 7 goals from corners in the past 3 games!! This includes the late penalty at Derby, which came as a result of an uncleared corner.

Certainly needs work as does the growing trend of conceding cheap free kicks and corners that allow teams to bombard our penalty area. Sure hughton will address that on the training ground this week
