Less than 24 hours later, and the talk reverts to players we need to "get rid" of.

I seem to recall Prelec supposedly not celebrating sufficiently for somebody's liking a little while back. Get rid.

And Krastev supposedly asked to be subbed in the midst of a game. Get rid.

And Tyler he's no better than low end league one. Get rid.

Makes you relieved there are people with emotional intelligence, such as Craig Short, actually dealing with the players...

Craig Short? Get rid.

Well worked, maybe......but that's still out 13th goal conceded from a set piece this season. Second most in the league behind only Wednesday.

Last season we conceded 9 all season - our massive positive balance on set piece goals was the reason we stayed up. If we're going to continue to be this bad at set piece situations, it's going to make staying up this year a lot, lot harder.

(sorry for the downer......doesn't fit the vibe after yesterday, but still think it needs saying.......)

It’s easier to score from set pieces when the goalscorer can stand in an offside position when the ball is kicked, though…
