Fair point. Yes i think we've improved a bit from set pieces, certainly against Millwall

anyway. I think we got away with it a bit against Wycombe, Bristol City and Brentford as there were quite a few headers won in our box where Krul either made saves or they missed the target.

Not sure Swansea are big on set pieces though.

Turning to football, I watched the highlights of Brentford v Swansea yesterday (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 6, 09:43:51
- Tettey allows the creative players more freedom to play to their strengths (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Nov 6, 10:03:49
  - Most chances come from us doing something bad in possession (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 6, 10:30:24
    - Yep (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Nov 6, 11:46:05
      - I also think that Farke has tweaked his tactics a bit (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Nov 6, 12:25:24
  - Skipp and Rupp are there to try and control midfield in front of the back four (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Nov 6, 10:21:31
  - I’m like that at work, I allow my more creative and productive members of staff play to (NCFC) - Augustus Pablo, Nov 6, 10:17:23
  - Sorensen is match fit, so of the two I'd give him a go if we're resting Skipp (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 6, 10:06:10
- We’ve only conceded 8 in 10 games (n/m) (NCFC) - Adster, Nov 6, 09:48:35
  - Yes but in 3 or 4 of those games teams parked the bus and in the others (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 6, 10:16:19
    - Agreed (n/m) (NCFC) - Larry Hagman, Nov 6, 15:50:12
    - I expect Swansea will defend in good numbers (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 6, 10:28:36
      - Agreed. hence my view that we could do with a deeper lying CM. Maybe Skipp will just (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 6, 10:29:29
  - but that's not a reflection of the number of good chances missed against us (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 6, 09:57:59
- I’m not totally convinced by that approach (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 6, 09:47:18
  - Fair enough. What would make us more solid do you think. 3 at the back? Or (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 6, 10:17:36
    - I don't think we'll ever be solid under Farke (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Nov 6, 10:26:29
      - I agree but the attackers are also championship standard! (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 6, 11:45:31
      - Most of the top teams still concede loads though. (NCFC) - lurd, Nov 6, 10:29:25
      - Fair point. Yes i think we've improved a bit from set pieces, certainly against Millwall (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 6, 10:28:55
    - I think a change in playing style would be required (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 6, 10:25:24
      - *So to answer the question, I wouldn't really change anything (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 6, 10:26:30
