Errm Norwich? Lambert just over the angle? Nearly every game a Lambert free kick is saved or hits the woodwork.

But interesting stat (well I found it interesting!), I just looked over Rickie's 100 Saints goals. 8 free kicks. However the last one was goal 47 against Bournemouth in league one on 12th March 2011............

We seem to have lost the knack of scoring from set pieces, corners in particular, but when was the last time a direct free kick came even close to hitting the net?

We never really had the knack of scoring from corners in the first place. One season of Fox being able to take a corner, and that is it. Nothing in L1, and nothing now.

These are professional footballers. How hard can it be to find one person who can put the effort in on the training ground and learn to take a decent corner? I can remember times where we've had three or four different corner takers in one game, such was their lack of quality.

No excuse with players like Gaston and Adam we should be lethal from set pieces!

Makes you wonder if they read this stuff, Lambo has started to hit them again, truth was we weren't getting many free kicks in range, other teams had done their homework it seems. Now a bit of hoof ball and a plethora of corner attempts against WHU wouldn't come amiss.

Didn't Fonte score from 2 against Fulham, pretty sure we scored against Tottenham from a corner as well. But hey, we NEVER score from corners.

Yes he did, and we had another very unfairly disallowed in that game as well.

I'm feeling confident against the harder teams e.g our next two Liverpool and Chelsea who wont play as direct as the other teams around us. I truly believe we are better suited to beat these teams like we did against man city!

I'll keep saying it, we were sailing towards mid-table under Nigel, now we have 6 points from 8 games yet we're expected to get 10 points from our final 9 games? It's not going to happen. We'll do well to scrape away with 36 points.

Not so well predicted <doh>
