All 3 against Middlesbrough (without watching back, at minimum 3 headers in the box we lost)
Austin on Tuesday
Johnsons goal Derby.

4 goals conceded at corners.

Discuss.

Not sure what's to discuss. We have conceded 5 headed goals in 3 games. 4 from corners. We must defend better
 


I think Dunk will be back in the team after his rashness

To phrase it another way, why have we become shithouse in the air at the back or has it always been this way? Are we defending corners differently or have we been done by teams with the Adams family up front?

More to the point - when was the last time we scored from a corner? Or got a corner further than their full-backs?

It's a bit worrying. Def a weakness of Hune but mainly cos he's not tall enough. I've not watched the goals from Sat back but I believe Hune should've done better with the first - Greer the second - Not a clue for the third -
Worrying though...

If I was opposing manager I would be informing my team to shoot often and from distance, win corners and set pieces its Brightons weakness.

Which from our perspective should be easy to fix.

Burnley dunk gave away a pen from corner.

I am surprised we haven't conceded more penalties given how our defenders seem to think wrapping your arms around a player and wrestling with him is the way to defend set pieces. You'd also think with CH, Calderwood and Jones coaching we'd be quite good at defending :shrug:

Totally agree.
