[Albion] The set piece thing

[Blue3]

Who is Brightons leader on the pitch right now we need one player who not only can give direction but will when required die for the team

Our captain is Lewis Dunk.

Not sure about dying, but i've never seen any lack of commitment.

Of course Dunk is the captain but every team needs a nutter and since Duffys departure we haven't had one

Dunk apart, we seem to lack vocal players. With no Ryan, Stephens, Murray, Propper or Duffy we have lost a lot of experience and probably the most vocal in the dressing room and on the pitch.

We can spend a load of time nitpicking over semantics or stay with the point which is that our delivery in to the box directly from corners and set pieces in general is poor as is the ability of our players to get on the end of them. Wouldn't you agree?

Disagree, it's the ability of the person heading the ball to be better. Dunk and Webster have missed simple chances this season. Webster's against West Ham was a guilt edged chance tamely headed straight at the keeper.

Also if you look at the goals we have conceded the player has run in from the edge of the box whereas our chances have been almost from a standing jump.

In fairness, even most of our decent attempts seem to be straight at the keeper. It’s quite impressive.

Not gonna lie blud. Will be a little nervous at set pieces today.

From memory, a fair few loop harmlessly wide or over the bar, as well.

They rarely time their runs well or connect properly with the ball. Its always a header under pressure or slightly off balance.

The delivery from March and Trossard is not good enough. Neither is good at set pieces. Its rarely delivered with the right pace or accuracy, which means the attackers are often feeding off scraps. So saying, neither Dunk nor Webster are that skilled at timing runs and losing markers unlike a lot of the opposition, who seem to lose Dunk and Webster fairly easily. A quick feint and they are dead in the water.

I don’t call those decent attempts

It's been much better in the last 2 or 3 games

Webster is more vocal than Dunk and Lallana is more vocal than all of them.

Propper certainly isn’t vocal and Murray has never been particularly vocal on the pitch either.

Totally agree all to nice

Has it? I hadn't really noticed. I suppose one could claim Dunk's goal but that was a touch fortunate. He was holding down one player and got an ' assist ' from another, which fell kindly to him. Let alone the debates about whether it was technically handball or not.

Never more frustrating than when Duffy was in the team, what seemed like an endless number of corners made their way to a backpedaling Duffy for him to harmlessly head over the bar.
