One for stattos. I make it that we've scored 12 goals from set piece plays in the league and 20 from open play.
Players no longer with us who scored whilst here:
Colunga scored 3 goals (admittedly only 1 from open play).
Bent scored 2.
Gardner scored 2.
That means the current squad have only managed to score 15 goals between them from open play. That's a goal every other game.
I made this thread because I've seen a few people say our main problem this season has been our defence (although that tune changed a bit after last night). Whilst our defence hasn't been great, I'd say our attacking play is far more concerning than what we're doing defensively. To stay up we are either going to have to be very reliant on our set pieces, or somehow find a way to start scoring more from open play.
On a positive note - a pat on the back for whoever has been in charge of set piece plays this season.
