One area for Big Phil to work on please

Their goal exposed an issue that I felt we had throughout last season, namely nobody on the edge of our box (or indeed much beyond the six yard box) to win the second ball when defending corners.

I hope this is on the coaching staffs radar. We got much better at winning the first header, but it often falls to an opponent who is able to have a shot. I guess statistically with all the players in the way the chances of them scoring are probably quite low but I don’t see why we need 11 men in our own six yard box nor how it helps the keeper.

This plus the Stacey/Darling corridor are my only current concerns about this side. Other than those points we are looking really good.
