Shame Elmo is injured. This game could have set a world record for unsuccessful crosses.
I say it a lot but it is the thing about football that winds me up the most,how Terrible most of them are at crossing a football . I was an average Sunday league winger but I was pretty good at putting the ball in the mixer . I don't understand why so many of these highly paid pros cannot achieve it . It is why Beckhams crossing was so well hyped , because compared to 99% of the others it was amazing

Same with corners.
You never see any pro practice taking them before the game. Arrogance? I'd say so.
Cos so many of them are ****.

The difference is that pro defenders are REALLY good at defending crosses.
 
Lets remember what Steve Gibson said at the beginning of the season and the money they spent.

Once it has decided on the roles he wants people to take at the Riverside, Gibson hopes his plan will lead to a triumphant return to the top flight.

"There's only one place I want for this club and it's in the Premier League," he said.

"The club is well run and we're in a good financial state so we will have more resources going into next season than any other Championship club.

"We will smash the league next year. We want to go back up as champions."
