Whilst I believe that PS has done a great job,in very difficult circimstances and generally agree with his team selection and tactics,can someone please explain to me why we always have 11 in the penalty box when defending corners?
If we do clear our lines,the ball invariably comes straight back into the area.
In our recent game with them,the Gills usually had 2 players near the halfway line when they defended corners,which meant we had to withdraw 3 players to cover.So the Gills didn't lose out numerically when defending plus had the chance of a breakaway when clearing their lines.
I would definitely withdraw at least one player to near the halfway line (Ryan Hall would be my first choice) especially when we are chasing the game.Keeping all 11 back seems to me to be very negative,particularly when playing at home against poor opposition.Your thoughts please.
